This poem is called “The Gift”. The wisdom of the Fool is the school for world peace.
This poem was inspired by Dr Patch Adams
Happiness! Australia is a call to action,
It is to reach greater heights of personal satisfaction in action,
That life is good, funny, silly, playful and kind,
As we move from the sublime to the ridiculous,
To jump on the fun-ship to laugh out loud, clown around and discover happiness is 4 life,
As we question our negative thinking and ask – is it true?
Learn to get along with difference, opposites and challenging what is me and you,
For to make a difference is to discover there is no difference in truth,
Only ideas parading on the stage of every life as the kite awaiting the winds of change,
As we are actors believing in our role, character and fate.
Happiness! Australia is a renewable dream awakening to the joke,
Realising Giving is National Happiness (GNH4Fun),
As we give we receive playfully to play in this universal dance of exchange,
To Be the Change is to love without limit,
Is to give happiness for free,
Is to share wisdom, insights and real hopes
To re-member every philosopher is not set in stone but shape changing,
For you are never alone even without a phone when fun-filled,
As each child was born to be happy in a loving community,
Of fools, jokers and buffoons mucking around,
As they can never make a mistake or miss-take,
As no stone is left unturned in this curious web of life, love, laughter and joy.
We invite other fools to dance, play and sing – even from a distance,
Our insistence is to play far and wide,
As Happiness! will spread joy germs to USA, UK, Canada, India, Afghanistan, Peru, Iceland, Russia, Pacific Islands, Ireland, NZ and to all corners of the world,
So we invite you to be part of this little initiative,
Offering REAL HOPES to the World,
For you are the inspiration and the ONE song singing,
Starting so many juggling balls rolling,
As we link hands across the world with a giant smile,
Imagine this for a while,
That your dreams will come true,
It was so great to clown with you.
