We may not always realize 
That every thing we do, 
Affects not only our lives 
But touches others, too! 

For a little bit of thoughtfulness 
That shows someone you care, 
Creates a ray of sunshine 
For both of you to share. 

Yes, every time you offer 
Someone a helping hand ... 
Every time you show a friend 
You care and understand ... 

Every time you have 
A kind and gentle word to give ... 
You help someone find beauty 
In this precious life we live. 

For happiness brings happiness 
And loving ways bring love; 
And Giving is the treasure 
That contentment is made of.

Hold on to Faith;
it is the source of believing that all things are possible.
It is the fiber and strength of a confident soul. 

Hold on to Hope;
it banishes doubt and enables attitudes
to be positive and cheerful. 

Hold on to Trust;
it is at the core of fruitful relationships
that are secure and content. 

Hold on to Love;
it is life’s greatest gift of all,
for it shares, cares, and gives meaning to life. 

Hold on to Family and Friends;
they are the most important people in your life,
and they make the world a better place.
They are your roots and the beginnings
that you grew from;
they are the vine that has grown through time to nourish
you, help you on your way, and always remain close by. 

Hold on to all that you are; and all that you have learned,
for these things are what make you unique.
Don't ignore what you feel,
and what you believe is right and important;
your heart has a way of speaking
louder than your mind. 

Hold on to your dreams;
achieve them diligently and honestly.
Never take the easy way or surrender to deceit.
Remember others on your way
and take time to care for their needs. 

Enjoy the beauty around you. 

Have the courage to see things differently and clearly.
Make the world a better place one day at a time,
and don't let go of the important things
that give meaning to your life.
