The Size Of Your Heart

It isn't the size of your house as such,

That matters so much at all;

It's the gentle hand and it's loving touch,

That make it great or small.

 

The friends who come and the hour they go,

Who out of your house depart;

Will judge it not by the style you show,

But rather ... by the size of your heart.

 

 

It isn't the size of your head so much,

It isn't the wealth you found;

What will make you happy is how you touch,

The other lives that are all around.

 

For making money is not hard,

To live life well is an art:

How people love you and how they regard ...

Is all in the size of your heart.

May this be the day when it all comes together *
Happiness in your heart * Serenity in your soul * Success
in all the things you do * Time enough to reach for your
dreams * Patience to see you through * Inner beauty * An open mind * Days that you find you're feeling
wonderful * Confidence, strong and lasting * Strength
to do what needs to be done * Believing in tomorrow *
Living in today * Knowing the right way is the only way
*Clearing out the confusion * Facing the facts * Not being
afraid * Never giving up * Finding hope in hard-to-find places*Putting smiles on other people's faces * Knowing
when to talk * And knowing when to listen * Standing by
the truth * Being firm in your commitments * Using your insight to set you right * Going from rock bottom to mountain top *
Learning from mistakes * Understanding the greatness within * Looking for the good that is always there * Sharing the things that need to be shared * Remembering that it can all be a puzzle *But solving problems is one of the sweet joys of life * You can always pick up the pieces * And you can always make things right.

 

Don'g Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging, seems all uphill,

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must ~ But don't you quit !

 

Life is queer with it's twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When you might have won, had you stuck it out!

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow.

 

Often the goal, is nearer than...

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,

When he might have captured the victors' cup,

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was, to the golden crown.

 

Success is failure, turned inside out,

The silver-tint, of the cloud of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near, when it seems afar,

So stick to the fight, when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worse...

That you must not quit!!!

Dreams of Peace

"Storms Bring Out the Eagles,
But the Little Birds Take Cover"

When the "storms of life"
Gather darkly ahead,
I think of these wonderful words
I once read.

And I say to myself
As "threatening clouds" hover,
Don't "fold up your wings"
And "run for cover."

But like the eagle,
"Spread wide your wings"
And "soar far above"
The troubles life brings.

For the eagle knows
That the higher he flies,
The more tranquil and brighter
Become the skies.

And there is nothing in life
God ever asks us to bear
That we can't soar above
"On the wings of prayer."

And in looking back over
The "storm you passed through,"
You'll find you gained strength
And new courage, too.

For in facing "life's storms"
With an eagle's wings,
You can fly far above
Earth's small, petty things.
