Laying The Ground Work For A Better Tomorrow
Giving Keeps On Giving
No thinking required
There are many situations in life that face us every day
We may never know the impact we leave behind
I am sure it is so wonderful that we would be amazed
How many lives we have changed for the better
Just by helping others when needed
In life we see so many people in just one day
Multiply that by days in a year
Count the years
The number is too staggering for even math maticians to figure out
So each day no matter what happens and how the day ends
Always remember you make the difference
You are so important in the great big scale of things
So if your like me and the day didn't go as expected
You had a tougher time than usual
You are a little sad because some of your friends and love ones have passed on
Take a moment and think
How they have changed your life
Making each day a little better for you
Maybe they said and did nothing out of the ordinary
Just knowing them was enough
Seeing their radiant smile that lit up a room like no other
It was the way they did it that made all the difference
In a world where we can buy almost anything with money
This is something money can never buy
So in the fondest memories of my mom and dad
I keep them so much alive
In every action I know that would make them proud
As I try to do the right thing
Then as I make many mistakes
Working hard trying to correct my slight errors in judgement and wrong calculations
I laugh and say quietly to myself mom and dad you made it look so easy
I never knew how much you did
In my life I got to show you in some ways
Now in your absence I get to show you in other ways
As I close my eyes I feel your presence
There are so many times I reach out and tell you how much I love you
Now is no exception
For dad it's been twenty two years
Mom coming up on one year on the tenth of this month
Life can be crazy and mixed up
Other times it can bring the most joy anyone has ever seen
Most of the time my life is a lot of grey area somewhere in between
As I appreciate the memories I have and make new memories
I just wanted to put my deepest thoughts on paper
Where I can see my words
Instead of feeling them race through my mind
Like the fastest car in the world
Doing what it does best
Where performance is key
The rest is history
