Hear all the Music
 

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain drops tapping the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
.
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask "How are you?" do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
With the next set of job's  controlling your head?

Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, fail to see their sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time to call n say "Hi"?

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and rush your every day,
It is like an unopened gift....'Thrown away'.

Life is not a race. do take it more slow
Hear all the music before you go.
Life is an opera, please! try to relate
Take it slow before it's too late.

 Living And Giving
 

Whatever you give away today,
or think, or say or do
will multiply around tenfold
and then return to you.

It may not come immediately,
nor from the obvious source
but the high esteem lives forever,
through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another,
be it loads of love, hate or passion
will surely bounce right back to you
in some clear or secret fashion

If you speak about some person,
a word of praise or two,
soon, tens of other people
will speak kind words of you.

Thoughts, are broadcasts of the soul,
not human secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness
petty ones, bring us pain.

Remember, as you start each day
and your duties crowd your mind,
that kindness comes so quickly back
to those who first give kind.

Let that thought and this one
direct us through each day.
The only things we ever keep
are the things we give away.

Rubbed Shoulders

The comforting thought at the end of my days
When I'm so very weary, lonely and sad,
Is that loving grip that holds my heart
And bids it be merry and glad.
It gets in my being and it drives out the blues
And always it thrills through and through.
It's just a sweet memory that chants the refrain
"I'm glad I rubbed shoulders with you!"

I Think I Can
 

If you think you are beaten... you are!
If you think you dare not... you don't!
If you want to win... but think you can't
It's almost a certainty... you won't.
If you think you'll lose... you're lost
For out of the world we find
Success is made by a fellow's will
In a moving mind that won't stand still.
But sooner or later the man whose top
Is the one who knows a brain he's got
The man whose best is the only man
Whose only thought is he thinks... he can...

Walk Your Talk
 

I'd rather see a sermon
Than hear one any day.
I'd rather you walk with me once
Than to merely show the way.

The eye's a better pupil
And more willing than the ear.
Fine counsel is confusing
But the example's always clear.

I soon can learn to do it
If you let me see it done.
I can see your hands in action
But your tongues so fast to run.

And the lectures you deliver
May be very fine and true.
But I'd rather get my lesson
By observing what you do.

For a person must understand you
And the high advice you give.
But there's no misunderstanding
How you act is what you live.

I'd rather see a sermon
'Visuals' the way to walk
I'd rather feel the happening
Come on 'Walk your Talk...

 You Never Know

You never know when someone
might catch a dream from you.
Or something you say may open up the windows
of a mind that seeks light;
The way you life may not matter at all,
But you never know, it might.
And just in case it could be
that another's life, through you,
might possibly change for the better
with a better and brighter view,
it seems it might be worth a try
at pointing the way to the right;
Of course, it may not matter at all,
but then again, it might.

I Want To Know
 

I want to know, when my day is done,
That my life has been worth living,
That I have given someone joy
Through kind unselfish living.

I want to feel, when evening falls
and the shadows quickly lengthen
That I have made someone glad,
Or a  weakness I have strengthened.

I want to know that come what may
I've left some cheer and gladness
I want to feel at close of day
I've lifted someone's sadness.

I want to feel within my heart
That someone's cares are lighter
Because of kindness I have shown,
May someone's life be brighter.

Writing On The Wall
 

A weary mother came back from the store,
Lugging groceries through the kitchen door.
Awaiting her arrival was her oldest of son's,
With anxious relate to what younger brothers done.

"While I was out playing and Dad was on a call,
Nipper took his crayons and wrote on the wall!
It's on the new paper you just hung in our den.
I told him you'd be mad at having to do it again."

She let out a moan and furrowed her brow,
"Where is your little brother? right now"
She emptied her arms and with a purposeful stride,
She marched to his closet where he had gone to hide.

She called his full name as she entered his room.
Him trembling with fear knew that it meant doom!
For the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved
About the expensive wallpaper and how she had slaved.

Lamenting all the work it would take to repair,
She condemned his actions and total lack of care.
The more she scolded, the more she fumed,
Then totally distraught! stomped from his room,

She headed for the den to confirm her fears.
When she saw the wall, her eyes flooded with tears.
The message she read pierced her soul with a dart.
It said, "I love Mummy," surrounded by a heart.

Well, the wallpaper remains, just as she found it,
With an empty picture frame hung to surround it.
A reminder to her, and indeed to all,
Take time to read the writing on the wall

If Jesus came to Visit

If Jesus came to visit this summer
would you change clothes then let him in?
Or hide the girlie magazines
and take the Bible out of the bin?
Would you hide the videos?
then scatter hymnbooks out?
Would you casually let him enter?
or rush senselessly all about,
And should he stay a day or two
would you do the things you always do?
Like eating burgers, fries and stuff
or would 'break bread-n-wine be enough'?
It sure would be so interesting
to see what you would do?
If the Lord came to visit in person
To spend time with the humble like you?
