Picture a World
Picture a world of fun, joy and laughter
With no treachery or disaster
Where people are honest and true
The kind of world everybody looks forward to
Why cant people forget their differences?
And resolve to lead a life of happiness
Why can't people shed malice and hate
And lead a life of sincerity instead
What’s happening to everyone?
Are we ever going to find peace in the long run?
But no matter what
I will continue to hope and imagine
Of a world without sorrow and cruelty
And a one that is filled with peace, verity, and beauty

Smile
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

People in Your Life
People come into your life for a reason,
a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is,
you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need
you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you
through a difficulty,
to provide you with
guidance and support,
to aid you physically,
emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason
you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part
or an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out
and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is
that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled;
their work is done.
The prayer you sent up
has been answered
and it is now time
to move on.
When people come into your life
for a SEASON,
it is because
your turn has come to share,
grow, or learn.
They may bring you
an experience of peace
or make you laugh.
They may teach you something
you have never done.
They usually give you
an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real!
But...only for a season. LIFETIME relationships
teach you lifetime lessons;
those things you must
build upon
to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to
accept the lesson,
love the person/people (anyway);
and put what you have learned
to use in all other relationships
and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind
but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being
a part of my life.
May God hold you
in the palm of His hand
and Angels watch over you.
