"Opportunities And Delights"
There are so many so very pleasant Ways
That Hope Manifests itself in each of our daily lives
Each inbreath, each heartbeat, each meal and good health
that is hope and there is so much more opportunities
opportunities to do good, opportunities to Pray and
Serve God and Praise God and there is so much more delight
to delight in the physical and natural world just as it is
to delight in things like the passing of the sun
or the ripening of fruit and flowers or the delectable
taste of a tart berry squashing in one's mouth delight
delight in the big things and in the smallest things
if you can learn to feel delight in God's Simple Pleasures
Without Indulging Gluttonously, if You Can Discern
Between What You Need and What You just Don't Need
And Everything You Want is not Everything you need
But above all, delight!  Life is delightful simply, as it is!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!
