“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes
the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets
are always hidden in
the most unlikely places.
Those who don’t believe in magic
will never find it.”

Poem:

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:”
Thus St. Francis of Assisi begins his prayer
one soul at a time asking love to increase
replacing negatives one need not bear
from seven negatives, each a positive given
a personal dedication to prayer votives
become willing to accept God’s admonition
sympathise, love, abandon selfish motives
“divine Master” give me the strength
to do what is right at any price
the courage to go to any length
to make this world a place that is nice
know the wonderful paradoxes,
that you must give to receive
satisfaction that the soul transfixes
love more for happiness to achieve
have faith, there is nothing to despair
enjoy a beautiful life given for us to share
