Some Things To Consider....

Some time ago A late night supper Was set for me Steaming dishes Plates Glasses Solitary salt and pepper In silver trim All waited for me On white linen. Finished I sat back Drink in hand Remembering Life takes many roads Some twisted Others narrow and endless Signs Glowing in the night Dot the lonely highway Pointing in different directions. Take nothing for granted Until it’s done Take what you need And need what you take Compromise Half of something is better than all of nothing Keep your life simple You need only one home If you choose the monastic life You need less than that Pace yourself Only a reckless fool lives like They’ll die tomorrow No one can go back To start a new beginning But everyone can start today And make a new ending. Keep your word People work hard for their money Count yours carefully And spend it wisely Love all Trust few Believe only God An enemy can never betray you Only a friend can. Your family is all you have Provide for them And they will stay with you. Every mistake tells a story Be willing to learn Experience is hard to come by Book learning is good But hard work and talent Will unlock your dreams. In the quiet of night When the beating of your pulse Is all you hear Be honest Know the difference of Following your heart And reading between the lines.
