I swore that I would not write today!
Yet at work there is a young gal, recently engaged,
who spoke of a tough fight. It suddenly came to me that
focusing on such circumstance instead of another person's
soul is like chasing a rolling penny past a $100 bill. My wife
loved the concept when I shared it with her, and all I can say to
that is her putting up with me should qualify her for sainthood.
Circumstance is like
a penny,
Tarnished and
defaced,
Yet always coming up,
In any pocket you
own.
And yet we all go
through it,
Perhaps you never
knew it,
But in going through
hard times,
You are never alone.
When that penny
falls,
It is tempting to
chase it,
As it rolls across
the ground,
The chase is quite a
thrill.
Yet in chasing a
penny,
You may pass true treasures,
As you run right by,
A hundred dollar
bill.
That is ridiculous,
You read and you
think,
Yet this always
happens,
With argument and
strife.
For we strive with
each other,
About meaningless
things,
And forget that
nothing is ever,
More meaningful than
life.
So if you look upon
another,
Through long
eyelashes,
Or your eyes see out
from,
A strong face full of
hair,
You look into a soul,
That is unlike no
other,
Speak words from the
heart,
Show that you know
and care.
