Every Day Expect A Miracle

One Never Knows.
You cannot see what lies behind a face.
One never knows.
And those who seem the least successful
May at heart possess,
The greatest blessing of this life,
Love and happiness.

Gentle Footsteps.
Leave soft prints where you tread,
For hearts are fragile ground.
Speak warmth where cold is spread,
Let peace in words be found.
A gentle soul can heal the air,
Kindness lingers everywhere.

Time.
You can use it, you can lose it,
You can let it waste away.
But there’s no way you can save it
To use another day.
Life does not tick on forever,
As all have to learn to their cost.
We cannot recapture a moment
Or call back the time that we lost.

The Measure of Living.
Not in wealth, nor in praise,
Is the worth of a day begun.
But in lifting another’s gaze,
When shadows dim their sun.
To care, to listen, to understand,
That’s life’s truest, kindest plan.

When He Shall Die.
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
( William Shakespeare )

A Simple Creed.
Hold patience as your steady friend,
And mercy by your side.
Judge not too quick to comprehend,
Let grace in you abide.
The world grows softer, bit by bit,
Each time you offer light to it.

Life And Death.
Life and death are part of an eternal mystery.
The future is uncertain
And the end I cannot see.
But all I need to know is
That somebody loves me.

A Tolerant Heart.
See difference as a blooming tree,
With colours not your own.
Each leaf a chance to learn, to see,
That love makes gardens grown.
The world’s great beauty starts to mend,
Where open hearts begin to bend.

Tides of Goodness.
Kindness ripples through the sea,
Though cast by humble hand.
It touches shores you’ll never see,
In places you won’t stand.
So send your goodness far and wide,
It always finds the turning tide.

Help Me Remember.
Dear Lord, help me remember
That there is more to life than just here and now.
Remind me to live like a temporary resident
Not getting too attached to the things of this world
Because they are not what is going to last.

Dreams Of All Kind.
In the dark and lonely night
When the stars shine really bright
Sleep comes creeping up the street
With her silent, naked feet
Carrying upon her back
Dreams of all kinds stuffed in a sack.

In This Busy World.
In this busy world, I pray,
Grant me each and every day,
Just some moments to be free,
To sit alone and just be me.

My Room Is Very Small.
Four short steps from wall to wall.
When I pay the rent it makes my skin crawl,
Is it really better than nothing at all?
How do people find the gall
To charge so much for something so small?
Yet still they do, and that ain’t all,
They talk so proud, walk so tall.

I Am Only One.
I am only one.
But I am one.
I cannot do everything.
But I can do something.
What I can do.
I ought to do.
And what I ought to do.
By the grace of God I will do.

Every Day Expect A Miracle.
When you’re faced with that which spells disaster.
Fear nothing.
Remember mind is master.
Though success may seem impossible.
Every day expect a miracle.
