[life means so much - chris rice] —————————————————————————————-
everyday is a journal page
every man holds a quill and ink
and there’s plenty of room for writing in
all we do and believe and think
so will you compose a curse
or will today bring the blessings
fill the page with rhyming verse
or some random sketchings
teach us to count the days
teach us to make the days count
lead us in better ways
somehow our souls forgot
life means so much
life means so much
life means so much
everyday is a bank account
and time is our currency
so no ones rich, nobody’s poor
we get twenty-four hours each
so how are you gonna spend
will you invest or squander
try to get ahead
or help someone who’s under
teach us to count the days
teach us to make the days count
lead us in better ways
somehow our souls forgot
life means so much
life means so much
life means so much
has anybody lived who knew the value of a life?
and don’t you think giving his own
would prove the worth of yours and mine?
teach us to count the days
teach us to make the days count
lead us in better ways
somehow our souls forgot
life means so much
life means so much
life means so much
broken. sometimes the pain from a fall is blinding and so easily we allow ourselves to confuse that blindness with darkness. darkness is the absence of light. with the presence of even a sliver of light, that darkness is really not darkness at all. that light is not always visible to us, but in stillness our eyes adjust to see that there is a place to take that next step forward. remembering that sight is not limited to what things we only see, just as we express ourselves through more than what we just say.
we forget that some things in life are not found in an instant. instead it is a process that requires the utmost patience and perseverance, forcing us to dig deeper and seek beyond our understanding.
and more often times than not, we come to realize that at those times we found ourselves the most alone, unseen and outreached hands were there to lift us, guide us, and even help to clear the path ahead.
despite what struggles we face or what obstacles obscure our path, each day should not go without the thought and hope that every moment is filled with opportunities for change and growth.
the gift of life is enough to make a covenant with your heart to live each day to its fullest.
so smile with your eyes
hug to share warmth
allow your heart to be set aflame by the small sparks that kindle it.

everyday
dear Yesterday,
r.c.
please don’t let me forget about you.
i need my mistakes and my memories of failure.
in order to succeed for Today and Tomorrow.
show me what i’ve done so i can do more.
and teach me ways i can visit you, without staying for too long.
dear Today,
refuse to be taken for granted.
and encourage my choice to love you.
help me to make you beautiful.
so that when you become Yesterday
i will remember you Tomorrow.
dear Tomorrow,
be nothing like Today.
and everything more than Yesterday.
teach me the value of time
as I appreciate your arrival.
because Yesterday and Today both know, you can never promise to arrive.
"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
Bob Marley
