Be forever young n humble; Feel ancient and royal; Ride tall in the saddle; Do something nifty; Take someone's hand unexpectedly. Drive home in the slow lane; Do the minimus; Do the maximus; Leave a book on a park bench; Use pen n paper, write a letter; Take a chance, make people laugh; Barrel into contention; Show mercy to the confused, Show anger to the abusers. Bless a child with both hands; Grasp your soul, throw it down, Raise a child to the sky Straight up, A continuum, you and they, A ladder to heaven
An excerpt from a long ago (August 21, 2010), a very long poem. The best part of it, here in gifted and given to Sally Bayan, who loved it best, and understands it even better than me...the original is http://hellopoetry.com/poem/443263/the-continuum-prayer/
and was written when words were playthings and not as costly as they are today..
