Happy Are Those Who Have Been Loved All Their Life

The center of turbulence is peace.
Let not the spirit be purturbed by the harsh winds,
for love is still and unshaken.
Thunder and lightning may terrify,
but the heart is kind and uplifting.
We face the unkind and insensitive in our lives;
we should welcome the good and embrace the truth.
For nothing is greater than death...
Or even worse.

If something or someone is taken away from us,
we trade our tears to the hopes of bringing them back.
But death is an unfair businessman.
We are victims of our own illusion.
Any loss can only be settled with a will to let go
of our shortcomings,
our sins,
and our past.
For the weight of the burden is an impediment to glory
and to peace.

Our hearts seek to be forgiven,
to be accepted,
and to be loved.
Tragic are the final moments,
when the one mercy
the one hope,
and the one love
were given at the last minute.
Happy are those who have been loved all their life.
