The Daily News

The news we read, hear and see everyday influences our attitudes and outlook on life.
I wrote this years ago I beleive at a time when the Olympics were in Atlanta and the bombing took place.
During those days you were hard pressed to find anything good reported in the various media formats we absorb thru the day. Fortunatley I see a change in this as most of the time there are some good stories of helping and sharing with others reported in the news. I pray these efforts continue as it is obvious that as humans if we constantly see the bad side of life we will develop attitudes that that is all the world is made of. Seeing uplifting and caring stories will make us all more charitable in our outlook on life. If we are what we eat, then certainly we are what we read, hear and see in the environment surrounding us. Have a blessed and good day. Share a story of love with someone...it will warm their heart and ease their concerns.

The Daily News

What is it we do?
Why is it that we don’t?
It seems we would rather wallow in dirt
How we are uncaring although the hurt.
Our morals have deteriorated too long the garbage
Not to feel, but to see the carnage.
Display a word or picture of hate
Only to outweigh a volume of what is great.
How sad in life we hear of the twisted stories
And in death we then learn of the true glory.
Not many have graced this world of despair
With love and tenderness, someone who does care.
Why can’t the hate mongers be the ones taken away
Instead of the cherished, gone before their final say?
More over to live among the stiff
And still be blessed with loves special gift.
What is it we do…encourage the external dirt.
Why is it that we don’t….embrace those with internal hurt?
Let us live for the day when a picture of giving
Is more wanted than a picture of grieving.
