Happiness has much to recommend it, A choice, though hard, that often satisfies. Passing joys, pursued, bid fair to end it, Perhaps because their truths turn into lies. Yet one may choose a life of faith and love, Even dogged by doubt and ripe with lust, Ample as a river on the move Singing down the balustrades of dust. To love is to step forward into light, Embracing what would else return to night, Redeemed, redeeming by this act of trust.
