    An inspiring message to share:

    Strong people are given much troubles and heartaches..because it is believed that they can overcome such pain.
    That they are brave.
    But sometimes we get so tired that we just want to scream and give up.
    When that certain time comes that you can no longer walk on your own,
    GOD helps you carry your pain.
    For as long as GOD is here, giving up is NEVER a choice.
    KEEP THAT IN MIND!!

    you know who you become ?

    The Victor


    If you think you are beaten, you are.
    If you think you dare not, you don’t
    If you like to win but think you can’t,
    It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

    If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
    For out in the world we find
    Success begins with a fellow’s will
    It’s all in the state of mind.

    If you think you are outclassed, you are.
    You’ve got to think high to rise.
    You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
    You can ever win the prize.

    Life’s battles don’t always go
    To the stronger or faster man.
    But sooner or later, the man who wins
    Is the man who thinks he can.


    Poet: C.W. Longenecker

    Thank you for the Sunshine that warms my bones
    Thank you for this place I call home
    Thank you for the Blessings each day
    Thank you for the friends that pass my way
    Thank you for the food I have to eat
    Thank you for making my life so sweet
    Thank you for the Grace to share
    Thank you Lord for being there.

    A poet wrote....
    " Beware of those who stand aloof, and greet each venture with reproof. The world would stop if things were run, by those who say, " It can't be done".

    A call to action?

    The Road Not Taken
    Poet: Robert Frost


    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
    Then took the other, just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,
    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference

    There's a River

    There's a river
    Flowin' down from above.
    A river flowin' down
    And it carries the love
    Of God most high,
    Never will run dry.

    It don't matter
    If you feel worthy
    God's love is always true.
    It's flowin' down the river,
    Flowin' straight to you!



    Lyrics from one of my tunes. To remind myself that we always connected and loved.

    BTW if they put my stuff in the English text book it would not be grammatically correct either.

    I enjoyed reading the poetry and just wanted to join the sharing.. When I get there maybe we can meet at the coffee shop for some poetry readings:wink:
