Gather Tiger Lilies
Create an exciting life. Listen to your heart.
Take some chances to pursue the joy dreams impart.
Proudly disclose your talents: sing, write, paint and play.
Present the gift of yourself, the complete array.
Travel to farthest reaches, if just in your mind.
Experience seven wonders there for you to find.
Risk intimate encounters; avoid one-night flings.
Use open interaction to see what love brings.
Pause to enjoy the roses, pick daisies in May.
Gather tiger lilies for a floral bouquet.
Emotional reactions in your daily fare
are all feelings to be felt, that is why they're there.
Laugh until your belly aches. Weep until you're dry.
Dance and prance along your way. Whimper, yell and sigh.
