Good will to all in the New Year. My New Year wish for all my unique blend of GSD friends............ IF I WAS A RICH MAN by Barbara J. Galasso If I was a rich man, I'd give you tolerance so you could be you and I could be me and we'd accept it without any challenge. If I was a rich man, I'd give you curiosity so you'd never grow old and always see through the eyes of a child. If I was a rich man, I'd give you patience to know if you'd wait just a little bit longer that what you've dreamed of was always part of your reality anyway. If I was a rich man, I'd teach you to use your yesterdays as your stepping stones for today to take you where you want to go tomorrow. If I was a rich man, I'd give you laughter, so your heart would be enriched, and your worries would be forgotten even if only for a moment in time. If I was a rich man, I'd give you love to share, love to keep and love to give away. If I was a rich man, I'd give you more friends to practice kindness on, and more strangers to extend good will to. If I was a rich man, I'd give you the gift to speak words that surrender the heart to kindness and take away the sting of words that poison a broken heart. If I was a rich man, I'd give you the ability to use actions that heal, and take away weapons that destroy. If I was a rich man, I'd give you prayer, so your heart would be at peace, your mind would learn to accept silence and your soul would be nourished. If I was a rich man, I'd then give you the knowledge with all of the wealth you always possessed to teach me how to be a rich man too. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
