Do It Now

Today-Your "today" is the most important day to you. Live each day as it comes along with as much gusto and joy as you can possibly give it.

Now

If you have hard work to do,

Do it now

Today the skies are clear and blue,

Tomorrow clouds may come into view,

Yesterday is not for you;

Do it Now!

If you have a song to sing,

Sing it now.

Let the notes of gladness ring

Clear as song of birds in spring,

Let every day some music bring;

Sing it now!

If you have kind words to say,

Say them now.

Tomorrow may not come your way,

Do a kindness while you may,

Loved ones will not always stay;

Say them now!

If you have a smile to show,

Show it now.

Make hearts happy, --roses grow,

Let the friends around you know

The love you feel before they go;

Show it now!

God bless,

Donna

The Spring Cleaning

Most of us are opening up our windows and letting the fresh air come in while doing our spring cleaning. Well, here's a poem for a little different kind of spring cleaning that is just as necessary, if not more so, for our life that I hope you'll enjoy:

Now open up the windows of the heart,
And let the sunshine penetrate the gloom;
Clear out the fears and doubts that grimly start
Like ghosts within the mind's dim haunted room.

Brush out the cobwebs that your malice worught,
And sweep away the grudges that you bear;
Replace each petty and ungracious thought
With one that is forgiving, true, and fair.

And when the task is finished, you will find
That happiness is destined to remain
Within the sunlit room of heart and mind,
And know your work has not been done in vain.

Have a beautiful day,
Donna
