"Choose to Commit" poem

CHOOSE TO COMMIT
When in fear, feel fear, and commit to love.
When in tears, cry tears, and commit to healing.
When unhappy, honor it, and commit to joy.
When in conflict, own it, and commit to peace.
When in pain, express it, and commit to freedom.
When angry, feel it, and commit to harmony.
When resentful, be honest, and commit to forgiveness.
When hurting, nurse yourself, and commit to laughter.
When down and out, rest up, and commit to success.
