Life as the Odyssey

We are all able to change the world
In positive as well as negative ways
So whatever you choose also know
This world where we live will still turn
You might count the days of life remaining
Or act heroically
So remember, as above so below
A planet has needs, as does our flesh too
We rise in victory, or crash to the earth down
We might live for the truth, or live a life of lies
A day tossed aside means we miss the view
Change the world by making it sacred ground
Live this existence through your own eyes
Not one cursed by the choices of others
Be heroic, choose a life that moves the earth
Choose to love, choose to be a force for good
Love in ways people feel appreciated, covered
Live so that you are a blessing, never a curse
Heroism doesn't require being in a knighthood
It requires a great hope and faith in people
A love greater than that of the storm
A life without fear in a world of fear
Choosing to be one against the flood


“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”  Plato
