When You

When you think you can't, That's the time you can When you are full of hate, that's the time to love When you are raged with anger, that's the time to be cheerful When you want to cry, that's the time to laugh When you are faced with a nightmare, that's the time to dream When you are sick, that's the time to feel well When you are sad, that's the time to be happy When you feel bad, that's the time to feel good When you have nothing, that's the time to feel abundance When you are fearful, that's the time for courage When you feel weak, that's the time to be strong When you have doubt, that's the time to believe When you can master this concept,that's the time to LIVE!!!!

Excellent write full of wisdom. Sometimes one gets so accustomed to pain in their life they forget to look on the positive side. Thanks for reminding us. A. W. Nutter www.freewebs.com/abcedit
