The Major Chord

Take from this life whatever it may offer Opportunities will come you least expect, Many gifts and talents fate will proffer. Spend time building a healthy self-respect Cling to those values that merit reward, Opportunities will come you least expect. Melody is important, but so the major chord In your life events try to find synchronicity, Cling to those values that merit reward. Challenges often come in quiet simplicity, Many of them help us set personal goals In your life events try to find synchronicity. Keep in mind we are all individual souls, Involving ourselves in projects which bring joy Many of them help us to set personal goals. Avoid making of life a complicated ploy Take from this life whatever it may offer Involving ourselves in projects which bring joy Many gifts and talents fate will proffer.

I think that is so, Paulette. If we don't find it within, we most likely won't find it without!

Yeah, I suppose so, Caren. I write lots of these kinds of poems. Sometimes I wonder if they ever speak to anyone or make any changes in the way people think.

I'd say I could very well have had you in mind when I was writing this, Caren. It is you, when you stop to think about it.
