Heartprints

 Whatever our hands touch,

        We leave fingerprints on the walls,

     On furniture, on doorknobs,dishes, books,

      As  we touch we leave our identity

       Oh please where ever I go today,

     Help me leave heartprints

     Heartprints of compassion,

       Of understanding and love. 

        Heartprints of kindness and geniune concern.

          May my heart tuch a lonely neighbor

      Or a runaway teenager

       Or an anixious mother,

       Or perhaps a dear friend.

         I shall go out today to leave heartprints

             And if someone should say "I felt your touch,"

       May that one sense be......Your love

           Touching through ME.

          Handle yourself by using your mind

        Handle others by using you heart

          Friends are like very rare jewels

            They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.

         They lend an ear, they share a word of praise,

          They always want to open their hearts to us.

          Always show your friend how much you care.

The Front Porch

       We need to restore the old rocker

      To the front porch of years long ago,

       Where toddlers could rock their dollies

      And sister might court her beau.

      That old porch was filled with laughter

       As the rocker creaked away,

       Where neighbors would smile and greet you

       In a warm and friendly way.

      This musical rhythm of movement

      Could take away anger and stress,

      And solve life's pressing problems,

      Putting troubled hearts to test.

     "From binjujubi's Accumulated Treasures"

       You don't choose love.

    Love chooses you.

     All you can really do is accept it

            For all its mystery when it comes into your life

         Feel the way it fills you to overflowing,

          Then reach out and give it away.

           Give it back to the person who brought it to you

       Give it to others who seem poor in spirit

         Give it to the world around you

     in any way you can.

Every morning is a fresh begining

Everyday is the world made new

Today is a new day.

Today is my world made new.

I have lived my life up to this moment

 to come to this day

This moment this day is as good

as the moment in all eterninty

I shall make of this day

each moment of this day

a heaven on earth

This my day of opportunity.
