Living And GivingWhatever you give away today,or think or say or do will multiply about tenfoldand then return to you. It may not come immediately,nor from the obvious sourcebut the law applies unfailingly,through some invisible force. Whatever you feel about another,be it love or hate or passionwill surely bounce right back to youin some clear (or secret) fashion If you speak about some person,a word of praise or two,soon, tens of other peoplewill speak kind words of you. Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,not secrets of the brain. Kind ones bring us happiness;petty ones, untold pain. Giving works as surelyas reflections in a mirror. If hate you send, hate you'll get back,but loving brings love nearer. Remember, as you start this dayand duty crowds your mind, that kindness comes so quickly backto those who first are kind. Let that thought and this onedirect us through each day.The only things we ever keepare the things we give away.

After awhile you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean
leaning and company,
and it doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because you never know what will happen tomorrow.
After awhile you learn that
even sunshine burns if you get too much.
And you learn to plant you own garden
and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure,
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.
LIGHTENING UP
The time is now to lighten up
Become a ray of light
A sparkling, joyful bird on wing
In currents of great height
The star it shines so brightly
Sparkling in the sky
It knows itself as beautiful
So shows itself on high
It sparkles like a diamond
Shining through and through
There's such a fond attraction
For all, yes, me and you
We love the twinkling of the night
As children of the dark
The joy and magic wonderful
The singing of the lark
In daytime too the sun it shines
Its rays on sparkling sea
The sea it doth become a light
Of magic full of glee
And children sparkle when they see
A candle flame alight
The smiles on their faces give
A heart of warm delight
Their eyes are wide and open
Expectant, jubilant
The innocence on faces young
Sparkling magnificence
So fill your life with sparkling times
Of laughter, joy and gladness
Like the star, the glistening sea
No more succumb to sadness
For life it is a diamond
Sparkling on a ring
Or on a chain around the neck
The heart begins to sing
A big, broad smile, a gorgeous chuckle
Lightens up the day
And laughter is the medicine
For keeping ills at bay
So lighten up my friends so dear
The heart will surely show
In sparkling light so like the sun
Instead a magic glow
