Envy Too soon, too soon, the skies will grey, Don't waste a bit of sunny day. It is the little joys in life That balances the woe and strife. When you have youthfulness and health, Don't cry that you've been denied wealth. The time may come when riches reign, What good are they if you're in pain. Be thankful for each bright new day, When you can run and love and play. Be glad for all that you've been given. Were it gone, you'd think 'twas Heaven. The young and robust envy rich Men, who would be glad to switch With them and take that glowing youth And feel the richer, that's the truth. Joyce 11/01/02 |

(sigh) Oh Joyce, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, your heart is always filled with such pure wisdom, may we envy the gorgeous beauties of life but never be jealous as they all here for us to share! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
