WHEN I WHINE.

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair, I looked at her and sighed and wished i was as fair,
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the isle.
She had one leg and used a crutch, But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when i whine... I have two legs, the world is mine

I Stopped to buy some candy, The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him a while, He seemed so very glad
If i were late, it'd do no harm. And as i left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind. It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see he said "I'm Blind".... Oh, God, forgive me when i whine, I have two Eyes, the world is Mine

Later while walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play, He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then i said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word, And then i knew, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when i whine....I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where i'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset glow.
With ears to hear what i would know
Oh, God, Forgive me when i whine.
I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.

We Have so much to be thankful for.
Have a great day.

A MAGICAL PLACE.

In my heart there is a place, Where I love to be
A place made up of dreams, That only I can see.

This is a very special place, one of magic and pretend
Whenever I am lonely, It is for you I send.

You may appear at anytime, Doesn't matter how or when.
In my dreams you are there, and the day with me you spend

We watch the morning sun come up, And walk the mountain trail.
Hand in hand throughout the day, Where natures beauty does prevail.
I wish that you and I could stay, In this place forever
Though it is only in my dreams, it is there we are together.

TJA.

I SHALL NOT HAVE LIVED IN VAIN.

The measure of a man's character
Is not what he gets from his ancestors
But what he leaves his descendants.
****************************************
If i can throw a single ray of light across the
darkened pathway of another;
If i can aid some soul to clearer sight of light and duty,
and thus bless my brother.
If I can wipe from human cheek a tear.
I shall not have lived my life in vain while here.

If I can guide some erring one to truth, inspire within
his heart a sense of duty,
If I can plant within my soul of rosy youth
a sense of right, a love of truth and beauty,
If i can teach one man that God and heaven are near,
I shall not have lived in vain while here.

If from my mind I banish doubt and fear, and keep my
life attuned to love and kindness, If i can scatter light and hope and cheer,
and help remove the curse of mental blindness,
If I can make, more joy, more hope, less pain
I shall not have lived and loved in vain

If by life's roadside i can plant a tree, beneath whose shade some
wearied head may rest, though I may never share its beauty,
I shall yet be truly blest- though no one knows my name,
Nor drops a flower upon my grave,
I shall not have lived in vain while here.......

New Blogger

I am new at this and having a bit of problem.
But with time I will manage.
I don't know how to upload photos yet, again I am sure I will be able to do this.
I have to get to some serious blogging, and invite some followers.
For now, I will leave you with this Quote.

The Richness of life
Lies In the Memories
We have forgotten.

About Myself.

I was born in a small village, in Acadieville Kent County,NB. lived there until i was about 6 months old.
( At least that's what my Mom told me ) Moved to another little village, Rosaireville, In Northumbland County,NB, That little village, was 8 miles from Acadiville, and 8 miles from Rogersville. Northumbland, Co, NB.
Lived there until 1950, Moved to Richibucto, Kent, Co, NB., until i got married in 1954,
Then on to FREDERICTON, NB. The place i will always call home, although i live in the Northern Part of New-Brunswick, ( Dalhousie ). now, Fredericton will always be home to me.

I have 5 beautiful children I love very much, 4 are married, and i lost my baby in a car accident in 1971, I am a Grand Mother, Great Grand Mother, and I love it, I love to cook, and should have been a pastry Chef, :-) smile.
I lost my first Husband, The father of my Children,( he is deceased, 1995) and i re-married.
I have 4 Sisters, and 3 brothers, 1 brother deceased.
This Blog is just a little bit about myself.
