One Thing to Never
Forget
Your presence, is a present
to the world. You're unique and one of a kind. Your life can be, what you
want it to be. Take the days, just one at a time. Count your blessings,
not your troubles. You'll make it through, whatever comes along. Within
you, are so many answers. Understand, have courage, be strong. Don't put
limits on yourself. So many dreams, are waiting to be realized. Decisions
are too important, to leave to chance. Reach for your peak, your goal and
your prize. Nothing wastes more energy, than worrying. The longer one carries
a problem, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously. Live a
life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember, that a little
love goes a long way. Remember, that a lot . . . goes forever.
Remember, that friendship
is a wise investment. Life's treasures, are people . . . together.
Realize, that it's never
too late. Do ordinary things, in an extraordinary way. Have health, hope
and happiness. Take the time, to wish upon a star. And don't ever forget
. . . For even a day . . . How very special you are.

I found this poem
along the way and wanted to share it
Myself
I have to live with myself,
and so
I want to be fit for myself
you know,
I want to be able, as days
go by,
Always to look myself straight
in the eye;
I don't want to stand, with
the setting sun,
And hate myself for the
things I have done.
I don't want to keep on a
closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself, as I come
and go,
Into thinking that nobody
else will know
The kind of man I really
am;
I don't want to dress up
myself in sham.
I want to go out with my
head erect,
I want to deserve all men's
respect;
But here in the struggle
for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like
myself.
I don't want to look at
myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff
and empty show.
I can never hide myself from
me;
I see what others may never
see;
I know what others may never
know,
I never can fool myself,
and so,
Whatever happens, I want
to be
Self-respecting and conscience
free

This is another poem
I found along the way--I love this one !!
It's Fine Today
Sure, this world is full
of trouble--
I ain't said it ain't.
Lord, I've had enough and
double
Reason for complaint;
Rain and storm have come
to fret me,
Skies are often gray;
Thorns and brambles have
beset me
On the road--but say,
Ain't it fine today?
What's the use of always
weepin',
Making trouble last?
What's the use of always
keepin'
Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation--
Water with his wine;
Life, it ain't no celebation,
Trouble?--I've had mine--
But today is fine!
It's today that I am livin',
Not a month ago.
Havin'; losin'; takin';
givin';
As time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow
Fell across the way;
It may rain again tomorrow,
It may rain--but I say,
Ain't it fine today?
