1467R SERENITY

Once I'd dispatched yesterday's post into cyberspace
Guess whose spirit felt need to pay mine a visit?
Maurice Chevalier's, which, having witnessed
My lament (concerning The Donald's bullish rants) from on high
Decided that two spirits, putting their minds to good use
May be better than one, and as such, his spirit swooped
Down to inspire my spirit's loss of serenity to hold
My self awareness accountable for turning my frown around by
Reminding the conscious portion of my brain to live in the moment and
Then release mental frustration by way of plugging my processor into
Chevalier's good natured spirit, which upon recharging my own, inspires
My conscious awareness to remember this classic, universal fact of life:
What's past is past and the future remains unknown

Next thing I knew, Chavalier's spirit tossed a bouncing ball in the air, and
Lo and behold, my spirit's light hearted smile re-appeared as
These fanciful lyrics danced merrily through the forefront of my mind:
Thank Heaven For Little Girls—They grow up in the most delightful way ...
And since I've been experiencing sound reason to absorb that deeper truth as
My own good luck charm, I've decided to consciously remind myself of
How often Lady Luck has chosen to offer my spirit sound reason to smile thus
Enticing my processor to grow ever more practiced at placing
Fear-based frustration in time out in favor of consciously placing
Positively focused trains of thought in charge of my current state of mind, and
SinceI can feel fear-based irritation, along with Trump's deplorably senseless
Tweets, being sent to sit in time out, my intuitive agility at switching
Mental tracks serves to refocus my mind's eye upon sound reason for
My spirit to enjoy our family's shared delight as we all absorb
The sunny innocence with which Ravi's spirit instinctively
Melts each of our hearts in similar fashion to the grace with which
Flowers, rooted in fertile soil, naturally turn their lovely faces up toward
Captivating the warmth of the sun, and each time I remember to conscientiously
Choose to embrace an attitude that creates a healthy balance between
Sunshine and rain doth my 'technicolored' garden blossom and thrive

Fortunately, today's insight-driven train of thought offers
My conscious awareness sound reason to rejoice over
The classic nature of yet another fact of life:
Though serenity is often fleeting
Joy, being an inside job, can feel inspired to stick around as long as
Mindfulness remembers to consciously encourage
The positively focused side of our attitudes to sustain the good natured
High spirited sense of self, which proves so sensible as to
Follow this next bouncing ball ...
