'ON BEING A BLESSING'

I have decided 

To stick with love.

Hate is too great 

A burden to bear. 

I so often get the 

Answers from above,

The moment I turn 

My heart to prayer

The difference between

Stumbling blocks 

And stepping stones

Is how you use them. 

One can be a stale mate

The other a helpful friend,

If you don't abuse them.

Waiting until you FEEL

Like doing something 

May be the most common 

Mistake you make.

Getting real even when 

You can't be bothered,

Is the risk great

Winners take.

Stay positive and look

For the best in people

Optimism can dazzle,

Not unlike a crystal.

Silence and a smile

Are two powerful weapons.

A smile can solve

A host of problems,

A little silence, 

Can avoid many!

But we all know 

How those empty vessels 

Can be loud

And that chatterboxes,

Come two-a-penny!

So,

You are blessed 

To be a blessing,

Everywhere you go.

Far and wide,

Your dedication can touch 

Everyone you know.
