Wishing away the universe
looking for a direction to take
Life decides alone.
You may hope for assistance
but will be reminded
the choices are prepicked.
Enjoy what you are given
it can be lost too easily
and will be missed.
There are moments caught between heart-beats
looking for the entity
in which to preside.
Follow what you will
it is solely your choice
how to handle the hard times.
We wonder what the point is
to the madness we feel
and the touch we desire
It is meant to handle carefully
But with distinct precision
to guide your future self.
Hope for positivity
promote the good
You will have an effect
Find strength in truth
hope in faith
love deep in the soul.
Only you can
walk the road ahead
looking for the pot of gold.

Indeed, I so agree ‘You will have an effect’ and ‘Strength in truth’ so love that line.

Thank you for linking up your poem of good advice, Christine, with the line from the MacNiece poem seamlessly woven in. However, this Monday’s prompt is Prosery, flash fiction with a beginning, middle and end, including the prompt line in the 144-word limit. It would be great if you linked up a piece of flash fiction to this prompt and saved your poem for Thursday’s Open Link Night.
