the road to happiness

Just the other day I went to see a friend on the job

When I finally had to say goodbye it hit me kind of hard

It was someone truly special to any and everyone she would meet

Her poise, style and grace, her conversation were hard to beat

Doesn’t everyone want someone who’s a joy to spend time with?

Holding hands because you feel closer, maybe to even share a kiss

I may never get the chance to have her as my wife

It brings to mind important lessons I have learned in my life

While thinking of what I love about the people I know best

I began to see a pattern that left me so impressed

Walking to that road to love and happiness

If you do it right the first time, you will be doubly blessed

Some very easy lessons you can do not just for your health.

If you don't believe what you stand for why should anybody else.

There is more to learn about other people if you are interested

Nothing is sweeter than the lessons that you learn from your kids

Show them that contemplation will ease the pain of waiting

Show them that confrontation is not the only way to deal with their frustrations

Tell them that there is only one true way to be their best

One surefire way to seek and find their happiness

Look at every other person the same way that you look at yourself

If they are doing what you do what it means to you

No one can make you do anything that you really don't want to

Just what someone says will never make it true

The most important things in life are lessons that cost

You some thing that money cannot ever buy

Like your reputation (please don't lie to those that you love)

Like your attitude (calm, cool, perceptive)

Nice, but firm... never cruel or rude

Unless somebody tries to take you for a simple minded fool)

Like being a fair minded person

When every one else around you is acting the fool

You conduct yourself simple and straightforward

People believe you are blessed with wisdom and vision

So like people are naturally attracted to be your friends

Bringing your life’s course into in a new dimensions

So confidently you walk, you are starting to take hold

Every body can see nothing but your self control

As you develop experience in what you do

Your reformation becomes the latest definition of cool

As you continue to progress you've gotten your wings

Naturally your mind moves on to other things

Sexual prowess is a different test

It’s a spiritual, emotional battle of self conquest

You must learn the truth, the secret way to loving yourself

Before you can deal with the trials and errors loving somebody else

Be careful, sometimes foolish people will try to get to you

Before you realize for certain just what they are trying to do,

Don’t let their mean spirited illusions put you on the ropes

Bringing you nothing but confusion, broken dreams and false hopes,

You will come to find out later with what games they were trying

Their only true skills are subterfuge, stealing, cheating and lying

Trouble may come in many shades, shapes and sizes

Just don’t fall for their problematic invocations of many disguises

Let me reveal to you a simple truth, It’s not hard to find the answer

with an amazing test so simple that’s almost foolproof

Like minded people live their dreams every day

Treating people with respect in every way

They work really hard doing only what they perceive

Makes for a good example what a person can achieve

Let your children know that you love them unconditionally

Showing compassion ways others find hard to believe

You must be honest when you are dealing

With someone that you really care about

Be fair with your sense of values in all your dealings,

Be genuine with people with your feelings

And to keep others out of your business

Be honest with your efforts, do your best

You are only one person and true you will find

There is no treasure greater than peace of mind

In finding someone that you truly love

You must never accept a substitute

Or you may find yourself trapped by something on fire

You really did not deserve, nor truly desire

Judge a tree by its fruit and not by its wine

You will become wiser, wealthy in time

Don’t be fooled by a pretty person, in the perfect package of your dreams

Funny how appearances change into things not always what they seem

Someone who that treats you like a possession

They may not love you for your self expression

Can be nasty, cruel, and thoughtless and mean

And that’s not good for your health esteem

And when they cannot trick you they will steal from you

Money, happiness, peace of mind or even your dreams

Beware of pretty people, acting what seems sophisticated acting cute

Don’t be tricked by a smooth talker just because they wear a business suit

From smooth talking and fast lives, refrain

It’s guaranteed to will bring you pain

Always be true to yourself and you will find

You will among loving people fair and kind

Stay away from people who always say they will change

In the oldest profession, in the losers game

Although loving people also have sometimes live in pain

Remember loving people will try to stay the same

Somebody who loves you never gets cute,

Or treats you like some kind of prostitute

They will stick by you thru thick and thin,

Ever constant and enduring, as they always have been

If their love for you is as real as it seems

They have love that’s true even in their dreams

When it comes to people bringing bad news to you,

Listen carefully to your own heart for the truth

Real love has class but has no pride;

true value comes only from the inside

If you get fooled by trusting someone, who is running a trick

You must change your actions and change them quick

Don’t get caught up into another’s person’s game

It’s far easier to change your path than to change your name

It’s so easy to see your perspective from where you are at

Just remember you don’t have the nine lives of a cat

This truth is something if you do it right

You escape unnecessary traps, pain and lies

For if you continue to walk along the wrong path

You will travel ever deeper into a scheme or trap

It’s so easy to get lost walking with your carefree stride

Forgetting your footsteps when you first arrived

Getting all wrapped up in having a great time

Filled with  false emotions can only make you blind

And wake up somewhat later, drunk with the wine

Of broken hearted vision, having wasted precious time

Even worse as later you might even find

Caught up in a situation with ties that bind

If you are not careful sometimes get caught up in the trap of pride

And wind up with a foolish risk taker on a roller coaster ride

And if that alone doesn’t make you sick and make you choke

Leave you even lose your right mind or end up taking dope

Should you get caught up don't lose all hope

There are many more dangerous lies with which you must cope

You might fall into a worse trap a beautiful, but false attraction

You give all, they only get bored and you get no action

So seductive fun and carefree, yet...something odd makes you uneasy

The charm wears off and soon you will see more

Beneath the veneer the reality may be rotten to the core

Don’t be tempted by the consequences of their elation

All they should ever get from you is conversation

Above emotions, needs and wants the cost of doing things half way

Will have you stuck paying bills you should never have to pay

When you find someone really special, worthy of your love

Their very presence is a constant joy a blessing from above

Make them feel special when you meet them above everybody else

Treat them even better than you treat would normally treat yourself

You will find that when they show appreciation will make you feel

That you are getting back in every way the best possible deal

Never forget in each moment of each day what you work so hard for

Will never fail to have greater appreciation bringing greater rewards

So do not cheat yourself playing mind games with a fool

You set yourself up with playing by somebody else’s rules

What ever you reap you will so, so always be true to you

Don’t what you know in your heart things that you should not do

You can lose everything that’s most important to you

Your happiness, reputation, even your life can be lost

Someone with nothing to lose never seems to mind the cost

Protect the spirits and emotions of those you love,

They are sent here as the gift from the one above,

They are the truest measure of love and the spring of your health

The strength of your commitment, the secret of true wealth

You will get the fullest measure, remember never to cheat

If you disregard the rules you are almost certain to get beat

You only get one chance to do it right in every way

So give them your best practice it everyday

When children are involved be careful what you say

No matter what goes wrong they know that they will be okay

When they get your full attention each and everyday

But show them there is a price they will always have to pay

Teach them by your example (yes, i know it’s hard)

They understand more than you think (in this regard

Although it’s not so easy to do the right thing

It really doesn't matter if you are a fool or king

The rewards are so much sweeter

it will make you want to sing

When your best efforts

bear the fruits it will surely bring

Life is just too short to hang around people

who always wink and Nod,

Playing computer games

and watching soap operas on the job,

There is no benefit to you

in your being selfish,  playing God

Listening to boogie and hip-hop

rhythms from your IPOD.

LIVE every moment of your life

as if it were to be your last.

FORGIVE yourself and the other people

who did you wrong in the past.

REMEMBER to give your love freely

(but do not include your ass)

KEEP something in reserve

for the ONE you want to last...

Take care of your body

(remember not to work too hard).

Your children are not your property;

they are a gift

from ______

…fill in the blank…

(from the creator)
