 Do you ever stop and wonder About this world in which we live Each and every one of us Has the capacity to give To find a person's worth You must look deep inside Within the heart and soul Is where love will reside Look at those who project love And see the way they smile Sit within their radius And stay for just awhile Don't judge others quickly Show some dignity and grace You can't really know a person Until you look beyond their face Turn negatives into positives Step inside another's shoes Don't worry about the past For now it's yesterday's news Take each day more slowly For life is not a race Challenge yourself daily To bring a smile to someone's face Treat the elderly with respect And help out where you can Show love and affection Towards your fellow man Send love out into the world Give just a little of yourself For it is deep inside your heart Where you have the most wealth Don't take things for granted And soon you will realise When you stop and smell the roses It feels so good to be alive I am in motion I am blue Love is an ocean I'm anchored in you - Shawn Mullins [This message has been edited by Suetang (11-16-2003 08:46 PM).] |

  (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I believe that love should always be given unlimited and the more you give the more you will be rewarded within and it saddens me to see many fail to believe this! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Hi Sue ... It's so nice to read your beautiful and giving words. You have such a kind and loving heart and give so much. I so enjoyed this. Huggles, Marti “Prayer makes the heart large enough until it can contain God’s gift of Himself.” |

Dear Sue: If only everyone lived by this creed! It's a lovely poem! I've had computer problems and that's why it's taken me so long to reply. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Don't take things for granted And soon you will realise When you stop and smell the roses It feels so good to be alive its true little things in life matters. |

this is so beautiful, I think we all know about people judging us right away, and times when we have too ssadly. I miss massive amounts of school for doctors visits and when I'm there am often sick and slow or tired so get picked on a lot for that, rather annoying but I think we've all done it before... ahh I'm so longwinded! Love this  Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Your words are perfection. I fail in my quest to live up to these thoughts, and I am jaded. I hope to find my way |
