Here is a copyrighted excerpt from the book:

The Universe brings you what you are supposed to get
And though more often than not
I fret
That it's not what I want
Not what I wish
Not that which makes my heart soar

With patience
Open-mindedness
Open heart
I see, in time,
That the Universe gave me much more.
