WrItten In A Fortune Cookie
"There is no chance evil can exist
in an individual as a force
Who is beauty minded."
The message is clear
and may you always
seek beauty and
walk a path of kindness
and compassion
May your intentions be pure
and you always give others
the joy of pleasure instead
of merely trying to please
in an individual as a force
Who is beauty minded."
The message is clear

and compassion
May your intentions be pure
and you always give others
the joy of pleasure instead

Words can prompt me to write something from time to time as well. The above is what came about after cracking open my fortune cookie after eating my New Year's delivered meal from China Park Restaurant.

Well, Lil, I have to say you have made my day already and it's only just begun. Thank you for your wonderful response to my poem. I've always believed that no matter what may be going on at the time that there must be a poem in here somewhere. It's my connection to life. Happy New Year, dear lady.

The fact that fortune cookies haven't gone digital is a miracle in itself. Great write with a personal touch ...

First - love Chinese food! 😊
This was a breath of the freshest air.
I so agree. Stop people pleasing and take joy in just being with people. Not everyone is going to like you, that's ok.
Lovely sentiments.
