🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Sing to Me
Sing to Me
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Sing to me! Something of sunlight and bloom,
I am so compassed with sorrow and gloom,
I am so sick with the world’s noisse and strife, –
Sing of the beauty and brightness of life –
Sing to me, sing to me!
Sing to me! Something that’s jubilant, glad!
I am so weary, my soul so sad.
All my earth riches are covered with rust,
All my bright dreams are but ashes and dust.
Sing to me, sing to me!
Sing of the blossoms that open in spring,
How the sweet flowers blow, and the long lichens cling,
Say, though the winter is round about me,
There are bright summers and springs yet to be.
Sing to me, sing to me!
Sing me a song full of hope and of truth,
Brimming with all the sweet fancies of youth!
Say, though my sorrow I may not forget,
I have not quite done with happiness yet.
Sing to me, sing to me!
Lay your soft fingers just here, on my cheek;
Turn the light lower – there- no, do not speak,
But sing! My heart thrills at your beautiful voice;
Sing till I turn from my grief and rejoice.
Sing to me, sing to me!

Joe: “Pete, how many narcissists does it take to change a lightbulb?”
Pete: “I have no idea. How many, Joe?”
Joe: “Just one. All he has to do is hold it in place while the world revolves around him.”
🤗 A Better Life ~ Life’s Little Joys
Watch for the Little Joys
You hear a favorite song you haven’t heard in a while randomly playing on your music app.
You get the find the last product on the shelf you needed to make tonight’s meal.
The parking lot is crowded. You’ve no hope of a parking space when someone pulls out leaving a parking place for you.
A smile and “How are you?” from a complete stranger as you pass by.
There are many little joys that come into our lives each day. Each little joy makes our lives a bit brighter, a bit happier.
🤗 A Better Life ~ We Need Each Other
We need each other. There are times when the most self-reliant, resilient, and strong among us need a helping hand. We never know when it will be our turn. Who needs you today? If you need a helping hand today, don’t be shy ask for one. We need each other.
💡 Something to Think About
In most disagreements there are at least three avenues:
My way, your way, and a way that unites us in a common purpose.
