Nature's Beauty

"As pretty as a picture"
certainly can not be as natural
as nature created it.


Part Of Life

When you notice the life around you
and appreciate the many forms it takes
then you realize
You too, are part of it
and alive.
Being part of things
shows you the importance,
and the difference
one part can make.


Creating

People wonder
why they cannot do things,
or create like some others.
It's because
they have never tried,
and have no confidence in themselves,
or are just plain lazy.

Taking life too serious,
is missing out on all the fun
it has in store for you.
When you're working very hard,
you get forgetful
about many things,
including your troubles.

Smile and give hope a chance.
Laugh and give yourself a chance.
Cry and give love a chance.
Give all meaningful and good things
in your life a chance,
without taking chances
on all the rest.
