Finding Something I Misplaced
Sometimes For Years
When I find it
So many thoughts bump into each other all at once
I say crazy things like
That is where you were hiding
I missed you so much
I know I had it, I just didn't know where
Now I can relax
I am not losing my mind
I didn't think I threw you out
Anything is possible
The real question I ask myself
Why did I lose you in the beginning?
My first response is....
I get so busy and life gets in the way
Lets look deeper
Am I trying to accomplish the extraordinary?
Things that most people don't even try to do
We all have certain things we are responsible for
Going to work
Keeping healthy
Taking care of our home
Making sure we keep our family happy and filled with love
Without that work and home are not enough
If our health fails
We can no longer do what is expected of us
What about deeper feelings and thoughts
Being successful
To me that means whatever I do
I meet a certain standard of excellence
So it is not in one area of my life
From the smallest task to the biggest job
I feel a great since of pride and satisfaction
Then there is the uncertain future
We don't know what tomorrow will bring
I do know if I do my best today
I don't spend much time in worrying about tomorrow
I am too busy
Focusing on the moment
When that day comes
I am here and ready to deal with it
With a healthy and positive attitude
Looking back at all the little things that made this day possible
I have a better chance of doing it right
The odds are in my favor
So as I apply what I have learned
The hard lessons that didn't come easy
The good things that I love so much
All the great feelings connected to each thought
I shoot for the stars
I am in the clouds often
Sometimes it is hard to see
On a clear day, I can see for miles
The view is breathtaking
I am in awe
When most people are still on the ground
Clowning around and jump up and down
I am soaring high
Sometimes floating by
We each have our own path to take
My way I can see a big picture
One road doesn't take us home
They all have their own journey
In the end, they all lead home
