With the sudden passing of Scott and the anniversary of my Mothers passing coming soon I thought I would share this poem with all of you. My brother sent this to me and I have know idea who the author is. I hope you enjoy it.
Take Care & God Bless
Wisdom
God didn't promise days without pain, Laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the humps to long. Move on!
When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God is thinking of something better to give you.
When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
You can't make someone love you; all you can do is be someone who can be
Loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.
What the heart gives away is never gone. It is kept in the hearts of others. Remember that great love and great Achievements involve great risks.
Secure a special a special place in your heart. A certain place only you can enter.
For there will come a time when you Need to find yourself and only Your heart will show you the way.
The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life there are very rare chances that you will meet the person you love and loves you in return.
So once you have it don't ever let go, the chance might never come your way again.
It's better to loose your pride to the one you love, than to you loose the one you love because of pride. We spend so much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, you don't look for answers, you don't look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes, you accept the faults, and you overlook the Excuses.
Never abandon the one you love. You will never find anyone who can take his or her place. Love is like wine; it gets better as it grows older.
