Picking Up The Pieces
May this be the day when it all comes together
~~~~~~
happiness in your heart
~~~~~~
serenity in your soul
~~~~~~
success in all the things you do
~~~~~~
time enough to reach for your dreams
~~~~~~
patience to see you through
~~~~~~
inner beauty
~~~~~~
an open mind
~~~~~~
days that find you feeling wonderful
~~~~~~
confidence, strong and lasting
~~~~~~
strength to do what needs to be done
~~~~~~
believing in tomorrow
~~~~~~
living in today
~~~~~~
knowing the right way is the only way
~~~~~~
clearing out the confusion
~~~~~~
facing the facts
~~~~~~
not being afraid
~~~~~~
never giving up
~~~~~~
finding hope in hard-to-find places
~~~~~~
putting smiles on other people's faces
~~~~~~
knowing when to talk
~~~~~~
and knowing when to listen
~~~~~~
standing by the truth
~~~~~~
being firm in your commitments
~~~~~~
using your insight to set you right
~~~~~~
going from rock bottom to mountain top
~~~~~~
learning from mistakes
~~~~~~
understanding the greatness within
~~~~~~
looking for the good that is always there
~~~~~~
remembering that it can all be a puzzle,
~~~~~~
but solving problems is one of the sweet joys of life
~~~~~~
you can always pick up the pieces
~~~~~~
and you can always make things right.
