POEMS OF INSPIRATION

Find Your Way—Through the day with the light that shines within you. Leave a smile where there wasn’t one before. Help a hurt, make a mend, find the strength to make things right again. Don’t settle for less; don’t accept what you should not. Use the precious hours you have been given, as wisely as you can. Do your best and leave the rest to God.

The Mint—I mint to call and thank you, but my time is in demand. I mint to say I love you, but I knew you’d understand. I mint to send you flowers, but they cost so much you know. I mint to pray for you this morning, but I had some place to go. I mint to say forgive me, but it sounds so hard to do. I heard my Lord saying, bless you child. I hope he mint me too!
