Love your life <br />Even if you must search to find it <br />Richard Bach owned an airplane <br />Even when he was broke. <br /> <br />The issue is neither sex nor money <br />They are the great static <br />On the television screens of our lives <br />The things that will destroy us <br />If we focus upon them too much. <br /> <br />There is a deeper chord <br />That will see you through <br />There is no safe harbor <br />Only a relative freedom where you can see <br />The fin of the shark approaching. <br /> <br />If you are to love your life <br />You must love what you do <br />Richard Bolles can help <br />But the burden is yours <br />To live in or climb from purgatory <br />Even as a baby’s diaper stinks.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/compass-poem-1/
