~THE KEY TO HAPPINESS~

What a surprise to stand and watch the horizon,

eager to see the first rays of light.

to be filled with awe in its beauty,

and to be blessed to see such a sight.

Funny, I saw the same thing yesterday,

only I hid my eyes because it was way too bright.

Yesterday the world was too heavy

and on my shoulders it found its place.

How strange to start a new week

with a smile on my face

To see people as they really are

and work at my own pace.

Just yesterday I quenched the fire of dreams,

long before they had the chance to fail.

Today I find the possibilities,

and know I have the world by the tail.

How nice to see the bad turn to good

and feel the echos of pain pale.

The only thing thats changed is

how I choose to see.

Trouble still comes, tragedy still falls

But I won't let it consume me.

I learn lessons and count blessings,

and find the good in what is destined to be.

To My dear friend T.B. Murray,
I hope you will be able to see the rainbows that flourish in even the darkest storms. If you ever close your eyes to them again, I will be there to show you where they are. I wish you many years of happiness, love and success.
