Take love where you can find it,
in time, it soon is past;
let's hope it is the type,
that will stay and last.
Take kindness where you find it,
it seems a rarity;
the comfort of a friend,
stops the insanity.
Take joy where you can find it,
oft times, just sadness rules;
happiness comes in bunches,
let's not leave it for the fools.
Take peace when it is offered,
turn away from hate and rage;
take your moments in the sun,
on life's too short a stage.
Take refuge in your God above,
He is the stable rock;
like a shepherd, He'll protect you,
if you are of His flock.
