Papa's Favorite Poem

If you strike a thorn or a rose,
Keep a goin'

If it hails or if it snows,
Keep a goin'

When the weather kills your crop,
Keep a goin'

Taint' no use to sit an whine,
If the fish ain't on your line,
Bait your hook and keep a tryn'
Keep a goin'

Suppose you're out of every dime,
Gettin' broke ain't any crime,
Tell the world you're feelin' prime,
keep a goin'

See the wild bird on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like sighn', sing!
Keep a goin'

Yesterday's Little Ponderings

Do you make me happy
or am I just a happy person?
Do I really like you
or do I just like being with someone?
The things I don't like about you,
are they any worse than things I wouldn't like about someone else?

What Is Enough?

Nobody is perfect,
So what imperfections are acceptable?
There is always that one thing -
What would life be without some challenge, some issue to deal with, some obsticle to overcome.
Doesn't everyone have the same percentage of struggles that just take different forms?
Stronger people have bigger ones, some people's are visible and some aren't so transparent.
We all get dealt in.
And just in the wake of a peaceful lull, is the shadow of the next wave. It is never over. As though if you are resting, you aren't growing. As though you are only doing well if the surf is trying to pound you.
What makes life happy is love.
To enjoy someone and to share with someone

Life After Love

I believe in love.
What is a live without love?
And once you've had it, you will never be the same

I remind myself
Selflessness

To be patient and kind
Not to be jealous, but content and satisfied
Not to brag or boast, but to be myself
To be humble and modest
Not to be rude, but think of others
To be willing to put wrongs behind
To keep a pure heart empty of revenge
To protect love
To trust
To hope - wish with confidence in the best outcome, no dispair
Never to give up on love

Entry Number Two

It's been a while

Writing thoughts to the world
And who has been to my blog?

TIME TO START AT THE BEGINNING
