Food for Thought...

The time to be kind is now

The place to be kind is here

We needn't be told the way to be kind

For the way to be kind is clear

But it's good to pause and remember

In the heat of our stress and drive

The very best time to live

Is while we are still alive.

The time to be happy is now

The place to be happy is here

The way to be happy is to make others happy simple enough, I fear

But the simple things we are apt to miss

As we struggle and fret and strive

Forgetting the very best time to live

Is while we are still alive.

During this season of love I pray that we hold each other a little tighter, that we speak a little softer, that we remember that life is short and time flies by.  We will look back on our lives and only certain things will matter to us.  I think that everyone knows what those things are and we need to always remember how blessed we are.  I am trying to be kinder, more forgiving, less quick to judge and softer around the edges.  We are all a piece in the making and I only pray that someday I feel worthy to be called a timeless masterpiece!
