Life is beautiful...

Life truly is beautiful -
Standing here on the beach,
With the sun warm on my cheeks,
Soothed by sound of the endless waves...

Life surely is beautiful -
When there's none to nag or frown,
When life is but the here and the now -
When one can leave all cares behind...

On a beautiful beach,
on a lovely sunshiney morn,
Far, far "away from the maddening crowd,"
Life, i feel, is truly beautiful...

And i thank God -
For all these, and more...

Life Need Not Be Perfect...

Through the years i've always wished for things that are not -
Like others of the human race, i thought that would be happiness...
But now i know and i believe that life need not be perfect to be happy -
That we are ourselves flexible, moundable and easily adaptable,
Hence we are the sculptors who can turn imperfection into perfection -
And create a bed of roses out of straw, happiness out of simplicity...
So, if dreams can be spun and happiness can be found in simple things -
Who needs a life of perfection?
