With a smile I’m exposed to the world
With each mile I walk with hope
The day is my home; inviting and warm
In and out of the door; people with hellos
Pieces which make me whole
Parts that bring me light and way

I love to see you happy
Let not a habit of life inhibit
Let not your smile be unnoticed
We are given time to share
A life in which to give

Therein lies compassion and lessons for life.
I am more aware than ever that life is a gift, and it is short.  
So I'll say what I mean and mean what I say.
I do so love the thoughts that you share, Rick~  
Your words are always endearing and never minced!

Thank you for that, and for this.
