Life's Ponderings
Breathe
Stay in the NOW
It's only a thought and a thought can be changed
You are the only thinker in your mind - you create your reality
Most things that happen in our lives are for our own good...to take us to our highest good
What If
What if ...I dared to listen to that voice within my heart
the one that keeps on asking me when I'm going to start
to dare to be the person
I came to earth to be
with my gift, a dream and passion
that only my eyes see
What if...I finally listened
and dared to take a chance
to live the life I have envisioned
and wake up from this trance
the trance that I'm not good enough
that I came here to create
not to sit idly watching
another make my fate
What if...I finally realized
this illusion has been a lie
the illusion I've been living
about the source of my supply
What if...I found the courage and stepped right through my fear
the fear I'm not supported for God is always here
What if...no longer has its hold on me
I have broken the chains and now I am free
for now I sit and listen to that soft and guiding voice
that I came to make a difference if I make that choice
to leave the world a better place than I found it when I came
that if I touch another's life, we're neither one the same
To let my inner light shine and help heal an aching earth
for giving unto others - gives our own life it's worth
