Life is a miracle..........
Don't let it slip away,
Open your heart to others
give of yourself each day.

See the beauty in everyone
regardless of where they've been,
Some have a difficult journey
and really need a friend.

Share your gifts and talents
listen with your heart.
Do the things you dream about
but don't have time to start.

Pick a bouquet of flowers
show someone that you care,
Be gracious and forgiving
life is never fair.

Hold on to your courage
you may need it down the road,
We all have a cross to bear
it could be a heavy load.

If you practice all these things
no matter where you roam,
You may find both sun and rain
but you'll never feel alone!
