Let your love lie easy on your heart, Like sunlight on a field of wildflowers. Enjoyment is a much-neglected art, Since people would take profit from their hours. Do not set your timer to a goal, But find your wealth within the time you waste. Years contain more riches than your role, And food is not for health alone, but taste. The love you feel for life is just like music, Filling every moment with its beauty. You can have contentment if you choose it, And dance through every gesture of your duty. Love easy, then, and let life come to you. You welcome more, the less that you pursue. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
