Spirits

A shot of hope to mask all fears.
A pint of faith to capture tears.
Light appears,
Troubles clear,
Painful years,
Disappear.

A cup of bliss eases the shakes.
A glass of charm is all it takes.
Fix mistakes,
Balance quakes,
Soothing lakes,
Eases aches.

A flask of pride to be kept strong.
A flute of wisdom corrects wrongs.
Joyful songs,
Hum along,
Harmless prong,
All belong.

A bottle of peace helps trauma heal.
A crate of love so all can feel.
Ego peels,
Light reveals,
Bright appeal
Pure and real.
