More To Think About;

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner
even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn
in the 'good' living room and
worried much less about the dirt
when someone wanted to
light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen
to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows
be rolled up on a summer day
because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle
sculpted like a rose
before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn
with my children and not worried
about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less
while watching television -
and more while watching life.

I would have shared more of the responsibility
carried by my husband.

I would have gone to bed
when I was sick instead of pretending
the earth would go into a holding pattern
if I weren't there for the day.

I would never have bought anything
just because it was practical,
wouldn't show soil or
was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy,
I'd have cherished every moment
and realized that the wonderment
growing inside me was the only chance
in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously,
I would never have said, "Later.
Now go get washed up for dinner."

There would have been more
"I love you's"..
more "I'm sorrys"...
but mostly, given another shot at life,
I would seize every minute...
look at it and really see it...
live it...
and never give it back.

Be willing to give up all that you now are
to be all that you can become.
(by Erma Bombeck)
In memory of Erma Bombeck
who lost her fight with cancer.

A Dream
A dream is a wish your heart makes,
When you are fast a sleep.
In dreams you will lose your heart aches,
Whatever you wish for, you keep!
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru!
No matter how your heart is breaking
If you keep on believing
The dreams that you wish for,
will come true!
(Walt Disney's Jimminy Cricket)

until the dark hours."

"A hundred years from now
it will not matter what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in,
or the kind of car I drove..
but the world may be different because
I was important in the life of a child."
(The Idaho Youth Ranch)

I'm finding out that I know more and more
about less and less
until I know almost everything
about nothing........

and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten the words.

"How far you go in life depends
on you being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because someday in life you
will have been all of these."
(George Washington Carver)

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible to me!
I cannot build a mountain
or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best
a friend that's always there!
(Unknown)

unless you're helping them up.
(Rev. Jesse Jackson)

will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle others, use your heart.

THE CHILD
A spirit child, half-human
He is God's own next-of-kin
And he's crying for his mama
He don't like his mortal skin
He is asking all his questions
But his mama doesn't know
It's a funny kind of playground
Is there nowhere else to go?
And he knows that he can fly
Safely soar without his wings
'Cause his home is in the sky
While his mama softly sings
(Gini Schmitz)

METAMORPHOSIS
Snapping fibers of cocoon
Blinding brilliance of high noon
Wings unfolding, spreading, dry
Coast is clear, my darling--FLY!!
(Gini Schmitz)

The silent stars in timeless skies
The wonderment in children's eyes,
The autumn haze, the breath of spring,
The chirping song the crickets sing,
A rosebud in a slender vase
Are all reflections of God's face.
(Helen Steiner Rice)

Children of MaryGrove
To make them laugh,
To make them cry,
Gives me a joy
Deep down inside.

Watching what they do
And giving to them endlessly,
Makes the love adjoining
Which I know was meant to be.

All they need to know
First that someone out there
Is willing to listen and
Really does care.

No matter what race;
They all look up at me
With that same loving face.

They may learn
From what I teach,
But also I learn
From what they preach.

Not only do I know
That I have done my job,
But most importantly
I have given love.
(Lisa La Rose)

Purple haze was in my brain,
Lately things don't seem the same,
Actin funny, but I don't know why,
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.
(Jimi Hendrix)

Men ought to know that from
nothing else but the brain come

delights,

griefs,
despondency, and

I am the inferior of any man
whose rights I trample under foot.

They are superior who have
the best heart-the best brain.

and go the the grave
with the song still in them...

can feel myself elevated,

In a state of constant, total amazement.

What you want, also wants you.
There are no unanswered request
In the universe.
If you do not like
What you are receiving,
You can learn
To ask for something different.

There's nothing to do;
There's only something to see.
The way you think
Is that causes your problems..
You have to straighten out
The way you think.
(Unknown)
