  • 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.
