A Prayer...
May I live as long as I love
and love as long as I live
May I give you all the love you can take
and may you take all the love I can give
May our lives be full of love
and fill all the lives that touch ours with love
May we Homo sapiēns invent ourselves to be
not just sapiēns, but Homo sapiēns-amāns*!

Homo = Man / Human Being https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/homo#Latin
Sapiēns = Wise https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sapiens
Amāns = Loving https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/amans
Interesting to note that the word 'amans' is gender-blind and is used for all 3 genders. In the noun form, it can mean lover or sweetheart of any gender
Also interesting to note that one of the anagrams of the word 'sapiens' is 'pansies'
Further, most interesting is to note that the word 'homo' is equally or more often used for referring to homosexuals (the 'homo' in H. sapiens comes from Latin and that in H. sexuals comes from Greek)
It seems that you cannot be a happy man unless, in some measure or form, you are gay! (For those who have come in late, the word 'gay' refers/referred both to a happy person as well as to homosexual and beyond/transgender person).
