This world is not designed for happiness,

So bring it to each other.

This society is not structured for grace,

So offer it to each other.

This brief life was not meant for consolation,

So create it for each other.

People seldom offer their encouragement,

So extend it to each other.

This elusive moment is forever fleeting,

So make it last for each other.

The struggle for meaning is never in vain,

If you are enough for each other.
