I shall pass through this world but once.
If therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
or anything I can do, let me do it now...
For I shall not pass this way again.
~ Etienne DeGrellet ~

If I Should Die Before I Wake

If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray for forgiveness for the wrong I've done
I pray for my grandsons that a world change will come
I pray that the races can find some peace and harmony
I pray for tolerance and unity
I pray that government officials will stop working for special interest groups
I pray for the safety of our youth
I pray they find a cure for aids - without it we won't see better days
I pray for the homeless and the poor - that this country will start to do more
I pray that people learn the simplicity of life - instead of the constant
turmoil and strife
I pray the beast called Racism is slain
I pray that trust and freedom will come to reign

An even if none of this is meant for my eyes in this lifetime to see
I pray it will still come to be

This may all sound idealistic but when it's all said and done
I pray for a world when we can all stand as one...

If I should die before I wake

Works my nerves, Gives me goose bumps

Where I Want To Be

© 2008

On This Day

Mend a quarrel
Search out a forgotten friend
Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust
Write a love letter
Share some treasure
Give a soft answer
Encourage youth
Manifest your loyalty in a word or deed
Keep a promise
Find the time
Forgo a grudge
Forgive an enemy
LISTEN!
Apologize if you are wrong
Try to understand
Examine your demands on others
Think first of someone else
Appreciate, Be Kind, Be...
Gentle
Laugh a little more
Deserve confidence
Take up arms against malice
Express your gratitude
Gladden the heart of a child
Take pleasure in the beauty and
wonder of Life and the Earth
Speak your love
Speak it again
Speak it still once more.
