Eternal Breath

Sigh and the world will sigh with you
Laugh and it will become universal
Cry and it will be shared among the galaxies
Smile and it will illuminate every life 

Clap and everyone will clap,
We will clap your beauty and your intelligence
We will smile upon your success
And laugh at your enjoyments 

But hold.
Do not become too selfish
Do not have too much confidence
Because a sentiment once given
May be at once retracted 

Sigh and the world may gasp
Laugh and the universe may shiver
Cry and the galaxies may not ponder on it
Smile and life may not smile back 

We may clap at your sadness
Your once success come nightmarish failure
We may smile at your downfall
And laugh at your misfortunes 

Wish, but do not wish for too much
Hope but do not let hope overcome you
Laugh but do not let laughter control you
Smile but do not let smiles become your mask 

Cry.
But do not drain your eyes of life
Sigh.
But ensure one final, eternal breath
