Strife-ridden life...
Sad to be happy,
Sad to be alive.
Sad to be grieving,
Sad all the time.

Time to be happy,
Time to be alive.
Time to be living
Without sadness
For a while.

Happy to be living.
Happy to be alive.
Happy to be breathing
Without sadness
For some time.

Live while you live!
Live every moment
Of your life.
Learn to live
With a smile.

Smile when you are pleased!
Please with your smile!
Try to be pleased...
Flow like a rhyme.

Time is the fragrance.
The essence of life.
Cherish it, with fondness,
By a good measure
Of delight.
