Family The Truth and Myth

 They say the world is round, and yet I often think it square, So many little hurts we get From corners here and there. But one great truth in life I've found, While journeying to the West- The only folks who really wound Are those we love the best.  The man you thoroughly despise Can rouse your wrath, 'tis true; Annoyance in your heart will rise At things mere strangers do; But those are only passing ills; This rule all lives will prove; The rankling wound which aches and thrills Is dealt by hands we love.  The choicest garb, the sweetest grace, Are oft to strangers shown; The careless mien, the frowning face, Are given to our own. We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow To those who love us best.  Love does not grow on every tree, Nor true hearts yearly bloom. Alas for those who only see This cut across a tomb! But, soon or late, the fact grows plain To all through sorrow's test: The only folks who give...

Secret

  The skies can't keep their secret! They tell it to the hills — The hills just tell the orchards — And they the daffodils! A bird, by chance, that goes that way Soft overheard the whole. If I should bribe the little bird, Who knows but she would tell? I think I won't, however, It's finer not to know; If summer were an axiom, What sorcery had snow? So keep your secret, Father! I would not, if I could, Know what the sapphire fellows do, In your new-fashioned world!

Waves of life

  The darkness comes in waves Like the ocean late at night Each wave with a crash  Even though it's out of sight  The sound of a gentle beating  Of the water on the shore Always leaves me wandering  Always wanting more  More than just the darkness  And the crashing sounds of waves  More than to just keep counting  The minutes in a day  When do the waves stop coming  When do they disappear  Do they ever go away  That's a stupid question  I know They are here to stay  Drowning in the ocean  Below the sand and waves  Maybe we will find each other  On a brighter day  Until then I lay my head  and close my sleepy eyes  Tomorrow I might not see  But that is no surprise  On a downhill ***** with no right way The only choice is down  Speeding faster and faster the words they won't come out  Screaming for help but there's no one around  To hear my empty scream  I...

Smile 😊

Life is as you make it; when your heart emanates positive feelings, the universe reflects those vibrations back, in all sorts of ways. Everywhere you go is a chance to change the world. One smile, one hug, one act of kindness can make the world of difference to someone! Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.
