Life Is

To live long sing a gratitude song to the Lord sunset and dawn From your labors take your rest as you lean on His breast. Content are they who are satisfied with what they have. Happy are they who need less not those who have more. Keep peace as you can and pray for those you offend. Be honest with yourself and change to be your best. Fear is a lie of the devil, trust in God and prepare. Life is journey on a road that splits with new encounters and goodbye tears. Today's step paves tomorrow's path. Life's regrets are today's neglects. Silence may be golden or regretful. Life is not a contest to be won but a race to the finish line. You lied as a child to avoid punishment, now that you are strong don't lie to control. A kiss that reaches the heart lingers on after the lips are gone. Before you criticize put a pebble in your mouth. An invisible cut needs an invisible doc. Within you is heaven or hell, you choose. The more you give the more you have of either hatred or love. Have faith to begin, hope to continue and charity to see ahead. Progress stands on the shoulders of the past, charity sees ahead Be not afraid love always waits God is love, be love and you'll be perfect. Cross the bridge of faith before it's too late.
