Those Who Love You
If someone should hurt you
And say a thing unkind,
Remember what I write you,
And keep these thoughts in mind.
For everyone who makes you cry,
There are three who make you smile.
And a smile will last a long, long time,
But a tear just a little while.
Don’t let someone who hates the world
Cause you to hate it too.
Behind the clouds is a golden sun,
And a sky that’s full of blue.
If someone said a thing that’s cruel,
Don’t let it get to you,
Your achievements are greatly numbered,
And your faults are very few.
So if a certain person
Should act a certain way,
Think of those who love you
And don’t let it spoil your day.~ Ruth Carter-Bourdon ~

Tooty, you always find such beautiful poems that hold so much meaning. I think most of us can relate to those words and totally agree with them. I used to let little things like that bother me, but no more.
As it says there are a lot of nice people out there, all we have to do is open our eyes(or maybe look around on xanga)
I hope you are doing well and having a nice summer. I have not accomplished too much this year, but I guess I will never catch up on things anyway.*shrugs* I think we have to take a little time for ourselves, once in a while. Take care, you are often in my thoughts, my friend.
