This life is but a journey
Of which lessons must be learned
Before our cup is empty
Our final glory
To be earned
Opportunities set before us
To allow us all to shine
No restrictions on our choices
We have a designated time

It doesn't really matter
If you are rich or poor
But how we treat our fellow man
Reflects the consequence
We endure

So smile at the stranger
You pass on a busy street
Welcome all who ask of comfort
Be kind to all you meet
Do not judge with hatred
Or turn your back on those in need
Show a heart of warmth~compassion

Shine
***
Like a light

Through word and deed .............

When tomorrow comes
And the new day dawns
Please try to take some time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To think of those less fortunate
With troubled heart and minds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When tomorrow comes then disappears
After a very busy day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please try to take some time

Be kind

Or simply kneel and pray

A prayer of hope
sent from a stranger
Is like a lantern
On the darkest night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The time you took
The caring words
Thinking of anothers plight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Means so much more
Than we realise
Upon us
Blessings we will find
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can all make such a difference

If ~only ~we'd


Please take the time........

Each moment in life
Must surely be treasured
Each man shall be judged
By his deeds that are measured

If he gives to receive
This is for his own gain
And a heart full of self
Can only remain

There's a lesson for all~
Each one
That is living

[When the hearts full of love]
Our rewards in the giving...........

If I try to be like you
Then who will be like me?

Can we compare a flower
To the beauty of a tree?

If I try to be like you
Then who will be like me?

Will you perceive this world the same
The way my eyes can see?

If I try to be like you
Then who will I become?

A follower~A fallacy

True To thyself

I must succumb ...........

A bridge made of love

From the beginning

Separates those passed on

From the land of the living ........
Lorraine day Nov 2014
Only when the skies are dark
And there's no sign of any cloud
Do all the twinkling stars above
Dance happily and proud

Only when the skies are dark enough
Can we then see
The beauty of the endless lights
Within our galaxy

Only when there's darkness
And the heart is filled with sorrow
Do we then seek the light to guide
The paths of our tomorrow .......
Lorraine day Nov 2014
To laugh at oneself
Is surely the key
By not taking
this life
Too seriously........
