Just because no one has been fortunate enough
To realize what a gold mine you are,
Doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough
To figure out that you can't be topped,
Doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has come along to share your life,
Doesn't mean that day isn't coming.
Just because no one has made this race worth while,
Doesn't give you permission to stop running.
Just because no one has realized how much of a woman you are,
Doesn't mean they can affect your femininity.
Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away,
Doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality.
Just because no one has shown up who can love on your level,
Doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.
Just because you deserve the very best there is,
Doesn't mean that life is always fair.
Just because God is still preparing your king,
Doesn't mean that you're not already a queen.
Just because your situation
Doesn't seem to be progressing right now,
Doesn't mean you need to change a thing.
Keep shining,
Keep running,
Keep hoping,
Keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you are already; complete.
Just For You!
Somewhere there's someone
Who dreams of your smile,
And finds in your presence
That life is worthwhile.
When you are lonely,
Remember it's true.
Somebody, somewhere
Is thinking of you!
One of those people is me!
Know that you are in my thoughts right now.
Why Worry?
Why worry about tomorrow,
And the rising of the sun.
Or anguish over past mistakes,
That cannot be undone?
Why waste life's precious moments,
On things that bruise the heart;
When today is ours to fashion,
Into a work of art?
Today comes but once, my friend,
It never returns.
So use it wisely while you can.
There is a lesson you may learn.
Let history, record the past,
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best.
With what you have today!

Listening to the Whispers
Listening to the whispers
That come through time and space,
The voces of the Ancestors
Of every creed and race.
Our silent spirits are waiting;
Inspiration is our desire.
The spark of understanding
Will set our hearts on fire.
Within that fiery vision,
The whispers call our names,
Asking those who listen
To carry the Eternal Flame.
The Flame is illumination
Of the love that lies within,
All creatures, Tribes, and Nations
become family once again.
Are we really listening
To the whispers all around?
The voices within the circle
Are calling for common ground.
Where peace is the message,
Where no child stands alone,
And no hearts are broken,
Because weve all come home.
BY YOU... THE LIVING

Life is...
the smelling of a Flower.
The Grinding of Teeth.
The Agony of Death.
And the Pleasures of Living.
It also is...
the Elation of being in Love...
and the Sorrow of losing Lovers.
And it is...
the Splendidness of Sunshine.
The Terror of a Storm.
The Drowning of Life
and the Catching of a Fish.
The Dancing of a Butterfly
and the Thud of a Drunk
collapsing on the Floor.
Life is...
the Enlightenment of the Mind.
The Wonderment of Living.
The Hotness of the Desert
and the Coolness of Mist.
The Surrendering in Loving
the Anger of a Hate
and the Tenderness of a Child.
It is the Openness of Thinking.
The Closeness of Worry...
and the Freedom to enjoy or deny
the Nature of Life...
by You...
The Living.
The World We Make
We make the world in which we live
By what we gather and what we give,
By our daily deeds and the things we say,
By what we keep or we cast away.
We make our world by the beauty we see
In a skylark's song or lilac tree,
In a butterfly's wing, in the pale moons' rise,
And the wonder that lingers in midnight skies.
We make our world by the life we lead,
By the friends we have, by the books we read,
By the pity we show in the hour of care,
By the loads we lift and the love we share.
We make our world by the goals we pursue,
By the heights we seek and the higher view,
By hopes and dreams that reach the sun
And a will to fight till the heights are won.
What is the place in which we dwell,
A hut or a palace, a heaven or hell
We gather and scatter, we take and we give,
We make our world--and there we live.

~~~~ Start Over ~~~~
When you've trusted Jesus and walked His way
When you've felt His hand lead you day by day
But your steps now take you another way,
Start Over!
When you've made your plans and they've gone awry
When you've tried your best and there's no more try
When you've failed yourself and you don't know why,
Start Over!
When you've told your friends what you plan to do
When you've trusted them and they didn't come through
And now you're all alone and it's up to you,
Start Over!
When you've failed your kids and they're grown and gone
When you've done your best but it's turned out wrong;
And now your grandchildren have come along,
Start Over!
When you've prayed to God so you'll know His will
When you've prayed and prayed and you don't know still
When you want to stop cause you've had your fill,
Start Over!
When you think you're finished and want to quit
When you've bottomed out in life's deepest pit
When you've tried and tried to get out of it,
Start Over!
When the year has been long and successes few
When December comes and you're feeling blue
God Gives a January just for you,
Start Over!
Starting Over means "Victories Won"
Starting Over means "A Race well run"
Starting Over means "The Lord's Will Done:
Don't just sit there . . .
Start Over!
It’s not easy…
to be someone
who so easily falls.
Because, when you fall
you have to pick yourself up…
that is, if you want to get anywhere.
Someone who falls frequently…
has stronger muscles in different places
than someone who doesn’t fall very often:
Why?
Well, to get up
you use your arms,
your hands, your legs,
your stomach and buttocks
your back muscles, (and brain).
So, in some ways, you are stronger
than those who don’t fall as often!
And, after you have pulled yourself up
you must look up - with head held high
In order to see where you are going…
Yea! And, once you pull yourself up
you have to catch your breath,
and gain your composure -
take one uncertain step
And, after that -
take another…
You see -
if you are going to get anywhere
close to where you’re are aiming for
all those strong muscles will come in to play -
And, eventually,
you’ll see -
the result will be…
unusual balance, unusual poise -
And hey,
your hard-won victory???
It will be clothed,
in well-deserved dignity!
