Sadie Grace Love Me Or Hate Me Either W's blog: "If You Can..."

I have not heard this song in ages...Damn, it was made 30+ years ago, yet the message still stands for our times now...enjoy ya'll

God looked around His garden and He found an empty place, He then looked down upon this earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you, the day God called you home.

One day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose showing him how poor can be. They spent a day and a night at farm of a very poor family.When they returned from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "Very good, Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Yeah!" "And what did you learn?" The son replied:"I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have a whole horizon." When the little boy finished speaking, his father was speachless. His son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

In the year 2006 hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I just had to share it with everyone that I could...For all my family, friends and fans...

Peace is all I'm searching for, When will I find it, when will it come... I hope it comes soon, not sure how much longer I can feel so numb... I want to feel that someone loves me, Not that someone owns me... I want to feel that I am good enough for everyone, Not that I am not good enough for anyone... I need and want to feel positive, Not get negativity that makes me feel bad... I need to get out of this ivory tower, I want to live...

If You Can... If you can start the day without caffeine, if you can get along without pep pills, if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, if you can resist complaining to and boring people with your troubles; if you can eat the same food everyday and be greatful for it, if you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, if you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of your own, something goes wrong; if you can take criticism and blame without resentment, if you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him or her, if you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor one, if you can face the world without lies and deceit; if you can conquer tension without medical help, if you can relax without liquor, if you can sleep without the aid of drugs,if you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, sex, color, religion, national origin, gender preferences or politics, then you have almost reached the same development as your dog or cat.
