Open your heart to happiness.
Let every pore absorb light.
Swim in the joy of the here and now,
And cast off the darkness of night.
Walk in the summer of sunshine.
Fly in the blueness of sky.
Know possibilities are boundless.
Understand that nothing can die.
Step from the shadows of torment.
Sing 'til your throat gets too sore.
Smile for as long as the day is,
And laugh just a little bit more.
Breathe slowly and deeply and listen.
Give all your ideas a chance.
Let the sun beat down on your goodness,
And kick off your shoes and dance.

This poem is truly beautiful. I was compelled to share it with my friends and family who in turn thanked me for sending it to them. I now have it printed and sitting on my desk so I may read it and enjoy the message I find filled with healing and renewal. Thank you.

I thought it had some really positive imagery like flying in the blue sky also giving all your ideas a chance!
