Somebody did a golden deed;

Somebody proved a friend in need;

Somebody sang a beautiful song;

Somebody smiled the whole day long;

Somebody thought, "Tis sweet to live";

Somebody said, "I'm glad to give";

Somebody fought a valiant fight;

Somebody lived to shield the right;

Was the "somebody" you?

When my life has reached it's very end, And I take that final breath,

I want to know I've left behind, Some "good" before my death.

I hope that in my final hour, In all honesty I can say,

That somewhere in my lifetime, I have brightened someone's day.

That maybe I have brought a smile To someone else's face,

And made one moment a little sweeter, While they dwelled here in this place.

Lord, please be my reminder And whisper softly in my ear...

To be a "giver", not a "taker", In the years I have left here.

Give to me the strength I need, Open up my mind and my soul.

That I might show sincere compassion, And love to others before I go.

For if not a heart be touched by me, And not a smile was left behind...

Then the life that I am blessed with, Will have been a waste of time.

With all my heart, I truly hope, To leave something here on earth.

That touched another, made them smile And gave to my life worth.

Always remember to forget
the things that made you sad.

But never forget to REMEMBER
the things that made you glad...

Always remember to forget
the friends that proved untrue.

But don't forget to REMEMBER
those that have stuck by you...

Always remember to forget
the troubles that have passed away.

But never forget to REMEMBER
the blessings that come each day...

ARE THE CUPS HALF FULL?

OR ARE THEY HALF EMPTY?

Our perception will change with our choice of attitude.

We can decide to see the cups as "overflowing" by
shifting our focus to what's GOOD in our lives.

You'll make the world a better place
by making YOURSELF a happier person,

then, if you should see someone without a smile ...
YOU CAN GIVE THEM ONE OF YOURS!

NO TIME

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
