The Little Things

It’s the little things in life
I pay most attention to
Sometimes the smallest insult
Can hurt the most
A little white lie
Can ruin everything

It’s the little things in life
I cherish most
One flower stands out
In a garden of hundreds
Two kids pointing at the night sky
Not sure what they’re thinking
But they too
Appreciate the little things

It’s the little things in life
You do for me that I love
A quick touch of your hand
As we walk past one another
A little but tight hug
Holding me up when I want to fall

One thing I adore most
The way you look at me
A little turn of the head
While I stare into your eyes
You look into my heart

Promise yourself

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.

The Will To Win

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it

If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you’ll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You’ll get it!

START OVER

When you’ve trusted God and walked his way,
When you’ve felt his hand lead you day by day,
But your steps now take you another way…..
Start Over

When you’ve made your plans and they’ve gone awry,
When you’ve tried your best and there’s no more try,
When you’ve failed yourself and you don’t know why……
Start Over

When you’ve told your friends what you plan to do,
When you’ve trusted them and they didn’t come through;
And now you’re all alone and it’s up to you…..
Start Over

When you’ve failed your kids and they’re grown and gone,
When you’ve done your best but it’s turned out wrong,
And now your grandchildren have come along……
Start Over

When you’ve prayed to God so you’ll know his will,
When you’ve prayed and prayed and you don’t know still,
When you want to stop cause you’ve had your fill……
Start Over

When you think you’re finished and want to quit,
When you’ve bottomed out in life’s deepest pit,
When you’ve tried and tried to get out of it…..
Start Over

When the year has been long and successes are few,
When December comes and you’re feeling blue,
God gives a January just for you….
Start Over

Starting over means “Victories Won”;

Starting over means “A Race well run”;

Starting over means “God’s Will Be Done”;

Don’t just sit there…

START OVER.
