A little poem

Let's not take for granted
That friendly little deed 

Of the kindly neighbor
Who recognized our need.

Let's not take for granted
The sunshine and the rain,
The peace that enfolds us,
The day that's free from pain.

Let's not take for granted
The Loyalty and smiles
Of one who's walked beside us
These many weary miles.

Let's not take for granted
These gifts that smooth our way;
Instead let's express
Our gratitude each day.

Seasons of life

There's a season for beginnings,
When the world is fresh and new,
When we shape our dreams of all
The things we plan and hope to do.
A season for maturing
When we think and work and grow,
And a season for the harvesting of
All we've come to know.
And each successive season
Grows richer than the last,
As treasures of the present
Add to memories of the past.

Special place

There is a special place in life,
That needs my humble skill,
A certain job I'm meant to do,
Which no one else can fulfill.

The time will be demanding,
And the pay is not too good
And yet I wouldn't change it
for a moment -- even if I could

There is a special place in life,
A goal I must attain,
A dream that I must follow,
Because I won't be back again.

There is a mark that I must leave,
However small it seems to be,
A legacy of love for those
Who follow after me

There is a special place in life,
That only I may share,
A little path that bears my name,
Awaiting me somewhere.

There is a hand that I must hold,
A word that I must say,
A smile that I must give
For there are tears to blow away.

There is a special place in life
that I was meant to fill.
A sunny spot where flowers grow,
upon a windy hill.

There's always a tomorrow and the
best is yet to be,
And somewhere in this world,
I know there is a place for me.
