PEARLS OF WISDOM


On this beautiful sunny Sunday morning my heart is full of love for my wonderful family. I just talked to my sister and shared her love. I found this wonderful poem which says it better than I can. A message to my wonderful grandchildren. The picture on the left was many years ago, but I still see them as my 9 "little darlings."
"GRANDMA'S PEARLS OF WISDOM"....author unknown
I've traveled paths you've yet to walk, Learned lesson old and new
And now this wisdom of my life, I'm blessed to share with you.
Let kindness spread like sunshine, Embrace those who are sad,
Respect their dignity, give them joy, And leave them feeling glad.
Forgive those who might hurt you, And though you have your pride,
Listen closely to their viewpoint, Try to see the other side.
Walk softly when you're angry, Try not to take offense,
Invoke your sense of humor, Laughter's power is immense!
Express what you are feeling, Your beliefs you should uphold,
Don't shy away from what is right, Be courageous and be bold.
Keep hope right in your pocket, It will guide you day by day,
Take it out when it is needed, When it's near, you'll find a way.
Remember friends and family, Of which you are a precious part,
Love deeply and love truly, Give freely from your heart.
The world is far from perfect, There's conflict and there's strife,
But you still can make a difference, By how you live your life.
And so I'm very blessed to know, The wonders you will do,
Because you are my grandchildren, And I believe in you..............
