When you are gone, there is nor bloom nor leaf, Nor singing sea at night, nor silver birds; And I can only stare, and shape my grief In little words.
~ Dorothy Parker

Poem:
.
here’s hoping that your every day is a Sunday giving your Higher Power a day to rest having gratitude for each and every day doing His will makes it the best
accepting life without a worry always trying to do the next right thing do it now so later you won’t have to hurry please don’t cry over the broken shoe string
begin each day with an attitude of gratitude best to know that you have a choice better to be seen than being viewed show your love by using a happy voice
don’t pay Peter by what from Paul you rob always the choice, happiness is an inside job

Poem:
.
be happy you are you and not me
inside of others heads we cannot see
I am happy to be me and not you
then, neither of us would have a clue
let the children be children
their personality is already built in
let others be others if they must
it is only in God that we can trust
billions of souls every one of them unique
the fortunate survive to become an antique
just be glad that you are you
find the way, you may become a guru*
.
*guru ” from Hindi and Punjabi, from Sanskrit guru
‘weighty, grave’ (compare with Latin gravis ),
hence ‘elder, teacher’.”
gu – one, an elder ru – who shows the way, teacher
