The world is mine

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair

I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.

When suddenly she rose to leave,

I saw her hobble down the aisle.

She had one leg and used a crutch

But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine

I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

~~~

I stopped to buy some candy

The lad who sold it had such charm

I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad

If I were late, it'd do no harm.

And as I left, he said to me,

"I thank you, you've been so kind.

It's nice to talk with folks like you.

You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

~~~

Later while walking down the street,

I saw a child with eyes of blue

He stood and watched the others play

He did not know what to do.

I stopped a moment and then I said,

"Why don't you join the others, dear?"

He looked ahead without a word.

And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

~~~

With feet to take me where I'd go.

With eyes to see the sunset's glow.

With ears to hear what I would know.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A simple reminder....

We have soooooo much to be thankful for!!!

Sorrow looks back,

Worry looks around,

Faith looks up

The Key

I came upon a gate one day
Outsid e an open field

And on the bars there hung a sign
Which space and time concealed
Upon the ground, beneath the dirt
I found a golden key

I looked upon the gate once more
To find what I could see

The gate which stood there, stood no more

A memory from a dream
Upon the ground I found a path
Along a silver stream

My journey followed down this path

To see what I could see

To find what I was looking for

The path to destiny

I left the seeds of happiness
And turned round with a smile

I left the seeds of sadness
And walked a lonely mile

I left the seeds of victory
And heard the sound of cheers

I left the seeds of tragedy
And wiped away my tears

I left the seeds of intellect
And pondered thru the night

I left the seeds of beauty
And saw an angel's light

When last my path had reached it's end
A vision came to me

I looked upon my gate again
Outside an open sea
There was a lock upon the gate
But now I had the key

And the sign upon the gate now read
Infinite possibility. .

Joy Of Being You

To get where you wish to go, you must take an active role in the journey. Though many good and valuable things are constantly flowing into your life, it is up to you to make something meaningful out of them.

No one else can live your life for you. That is your biggest responsibility and your greatest opportunity.

Your dreams and desires, passions, opinions, preferences and interests are yours for a reason. The more sincerely and completely you give life to them, the more genuine fulfillment you will know.

Beauty is what you know it to be. Joy is what you experience it as being.

The meaning of life is the meaning you give to it. Deep down, you know what to do.

Dive into the pure joy of being you. For there is so very much you are able to be and to give.
