Lessons

If there is to be change
then lessons must take heart
for he who heeds the tides about
is as keen as he is smart
nothing comes to be without a reason
splendor can be found in every season
every road that one must venture
has its journey of surrender...
curves that come about in dark or light
bumps that bring contentment after fright
yes if eyes are never open
then so much shall not be seen
like the sunshine in its' glory
and the endless grass of green
it's true that spring will always follow winter
and wisdom not applied is sure to hinder.

And... dreams

I dreamt of you last night my dear
we laughed as though we had no care
we talked about a thing or two
while sharing stories old and new
and though my dear we weren't alone
our moments seemed to be our own
just two old friends within a crowd
a blessing God himself allowed...
to find its way into my dreams
which caused my heart this morn to beam.

80 vs 20

I happened to watch the movie why did I get married and though I like the movie I have to say I liked the analogy of the 80 20 rule more than anything else. It holds true that in our time people, men and women alike tend to want what they do not have not realising that they may already have much more... it really is a grass is greener state of mind. The ability to find contentment and joy from the blessings that we are given seems to be impossible for most. Why is that? no one is perfect, of that I am sure but we as a people need to make a greater effort to teach our children to value all things in life no matter how small they may think them to be and to treat others the way they want others to treat them...wishful thinking I suppose.
