The Big and the Small All Matter
Everything We Do Is Important
In life we seem to forget
The path that we follow
Is long and goes on and on
We may have many breaks and go in every direction
What we do is amazing in every way
Sometimes we make it look so easy
Then again one day later it can seem impossible
There is so much to learn
So many things to appreciate
I like to break it down into small snack size portions
Then no matter what happens
Good or bad
I get to see it for what it is
Only one small part of the whole
The big picture is so much greater than everything I have ever known
When I have fun
I think of the best times in my life
When I am at my worst
I can't believe I am the same person
I am filled with doubt
How can this be happening to me ?
I know the feeling I feel will pass
But really how long is this going to last
Then I think of other people who have had it rough
My life doesn't compare to what they have seen or known
So I pull myself together and begin again
Start fresh for the zillionth time
I never really start over
I take everything I have learned and rework it in such a way
To help me out on this day
To bring a smile to my face
If I can do that to me
Then maybe others can do it for themselves
That is what every day and night is about
Even though I see a different world around me
One that I do not always understand
I have so many why's
I try to have the attitude of a first grade teacher
Each answer will lead to a new question
In the process we can have so many experiences
The ups and the downs
Keep asking the questions
You will keep getting more answers
In the end
You will see life unfold in front of you
One so great
No one will ever be able to steal your thunder
So be who you want to be
Slowly make others see
Your brightness through every sparkle
Keep an open mind
Be one of a kind
Don't wait to do good
When someone says
If it is so easy
How come more people aren't doing it
Maybe they didn't think about it long enough
I know there is only one right answer
Take time and think how can you help instead of hurt
I will let you find it out for yourself
For me I turn to one of my all time favorites
I call it happiness in a bowl
Today I cut up a nectarine and tossed in a Clementine tangerine
It can be any fruit you can get your hands on
Add in some whip cream
I love the taste and can't wait to make me happy
Every word and every action
Leads us to a life we will love forever
