RE: WHY ME?????/ WHY NOT ME?

[Guest guest]

RE; When trying to come to a conclusion to the

question of " Why ME? " I have to ask WHY NOT ME??? " Why

not me, to carry the message to the world for CMT and

all whoa re affected; and to make a difference in how

the world view's disabled people . . . " making

lemonade from the lemons of life " . . . this message

of poetry I carry. . . for I want to know I left this

world different and better than I found it!

" Pebble In The Water "

Drop a pebble in the water,

just a splash, and it's gone;

But there's half a hundred ripples

circling on and on and on,

Spreading, spreading from the center,

flowing on out to sea.

And there is no way of telling

where the end is going to be.

Drop a pebble in the water;

in a minute you will forget,

But there's little waves a-flowing

and there's ripples circling yet,

And those little waves a-flowing

to a great big wave have grown;

You've disturbed a mighty river

just by dropping in a stone.

Drop an unkind or careless word:

in a minute it is gone;

But there's half a hundred ripples

circling on and on and on,

They keep spreading, spreading,

spreading from the center as they go,

And there is no way to stop them,

once you've started the flow.

Drop an unkind or careless word:

in a minute you forget;

But there's little waves a-flowing,

and there's ripples circling yet.

And perhaps in some sad heart

a mighty wave of tears you've stirred,

And disturbed a life that was happy

where you dropped that unkind word.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness:

just a flash and it is gone;

But there is half a hundred ripples

circling on and on and on,

Bearing hope and joy and comfort

on each splashing, dashing wave,

Till you wouldn't believe the volume

of the one kind word you gave.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness:

in a minute you will forget;

But there's gladness still swelling,

and there's joy circling yet.

And you've rolled a wave of comfort

whose sweet music can be heard,

Over miles and miles of water

just by dropping one kind word.

You CAN CHOOSE the affect you have in others hearts

and minds. . . though you may never know how far

reaching it will be. . . make a WAVE. . . start a

ripple. . . STIR a RIVER! ~~~~~ love Libby
