Response

 Reception

I have strength,

the power to choose 

how I respond every time,

sowing loans, not alms.

planting hope in the world,

one peace at a time.

Needn’t matter what stress

I might appear to be under,

I can collapse my ego,

blow down all illusion,

peace freed asunder.

Life is as it is,

some pain, more fun,

no need to create delusion,

peace in both snow and sun.
