As we contemplate our life's true goal, <br />How can we make a happy soul. <br />We each of us work toward untold bliss, <br />From our earliest days we crave love's kiss. <br /> <br />We seek the harmony of love's embrace, <br />So we all can find our happy place. <br />But love can reveal her hidden thorns, <br />That pierce the heart like demons horns. <br /> <br />Some think true joy lies in great wealth, <br />Blinded they forsake the souls true health. <br />These fools are soon obsessed by need, <br />They become reviled for all their greed. <br /> <br />Some believe true love is family and friends, <br />To another plateau of joy they send. <br />But treachery by those can scar the soul, <br />And leave in the heart a terrible hole. <br /> <br />Others think the church will fill a need, <br />So they pray to god their soul to feed. <br />My heart does pity those baffled fools, <br />For in the church deception rules. <br /> <br />True happiness I think is different for all, <br />To feed a soul the differences are small. <br />When the heart is pure and the soul is kind, <br />Then peace and love we all shall find... <br /> <br /> <br />Spread the love... The peace will follow...<br /><br />Cosmic Dreamer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/feed-the-soul/
