Blessed are Those

 

Blessed are those who love to love,

and naturally like to give;

They shall live with angels,

even amongst those who sin.

 

Blessed are those who like good food,

and love to exercise;

They shall live the longest,

they are truly wise.

 

Blessed are those who like good people,

and hang around good folk;

For they shall be comforted,

when  the others try to provoke.

 

And especially blessed are they that seek the peace,

for they help our people cope;

They allow us to seek blessings,

They are our species’ hope.

 

Amongst the most blessed are those who don’t know better,

the naive, ignorant,  and youth;

For they are the ones most in need of our blessings:

the ones who are most confused.
