Life Is Fine

This life is fine The world is mine Though I can’t stop The hands of time The birds all sing And flowers bloom The sun still shines And chases gloom And I can view The sparkling sea And all the stars Just dance with me The clouds, they hide And I must seek The creatures small At me, they peek The grass is cool Beneath my feet The water dew Now wets my cheek I have true friends A family And hope of an Eternity A place where I Will not fear death Where all is sweet Upon my breath Where tears will cease to touch my face And I am blessed By Heaven’s Grace My life is fine The world is mine This is my time To truly shine Eileen Manassian This was posted on 8/12/2015 and has 2275 views.

Thank you, dear. These little videos have been something I've wanted to do for some time. I had to get over my self image issues to do that. I've since lost 30 pounds and am feeling better about myself. Hopefully I'll record new ones soon. Blessings, dear.

Your video was done with a teacher's ease as for the content of the poem one of my life's guides is.. the world judges you on how you handle problems, it's the one thing we all have

Thank you, Frederic. I always enjoy your visits. I do love teaching. I teach a public speaking class as well. :) Being a pastor's kid, I was involved in speaking and singing for church programs at an early age. :) Thank you for your kind visit. I'm not always upbeat. This was a special time.

What a lovely poem, and I love the feeling of positivity that runs through it like a bubbling stream. While brooding on bad moments in life, we tend to not notice our blessings. Glad to see you back in action, Eileen. Hugs // paul

My dear collaborator. My life has been looking up of late. :) My weight loss of 14 kilos has boosted my morale. I'm more at ease with people and can be the woman I was so long ago. Thank you for being so kind and good to me. Sending hugs all the way to that beautiful enchanting isle of Malta.

Thanks, Nette. :) I'm glad it carried through. Due to time constraints, we would record six of those programs in a go, so it wasn't always easy to be upbeat. I'm glad it carried through on this one. :) Thanks for the visit. Hugs
