Why give heed to tugs that lead astray?
Beauty fills the pure and noble Way
Love beyond compare and blissful joy
Is worth all energies we can employ
Attractiveness of wayward gold and sweets
Can often lead to miserable defeats
They fade away so quickly when pursued
And leave us in an empty, wretched mood
While arduous, the path of Love is full
Of joy, with light and peace to make us whole
What heights we reach when finally we aim
For Love, so beautiful, from which we came
