A thin sliver of Fate,
A cup of Imagination, added more or less,
A spoonful of Virtue, sometimes lost in the mix,
A shake of Freedom; add just a little more,
A tap of Happiness, to make Life a little bit sweeter,
And maybe a dash of Faith, if you want.
Mix them altogether,
And here is Life.

I've sat thinking about what Life is made of; as I've thought about this, I felt a sudden Peace of Mind.
