"Many a truth said in jest."
Richard Bach in the book Illusions:
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true.
You may have to work for it, however.
Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.
Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again....
And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
THE LITTLE BOY AND THE OLD MAN
Said the little boy. "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the little old man. "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."
"I do that too," laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded, "So do I."
"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of the wrinkled old hand.
"I know what you mean," said the little old man.
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS, child,
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me--
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be.
DON’T TELL ME
Please don’t tell me I should hug.
Don’t tell me I should care.
Don’t tell me just how grand I’d feel
If I just learned to share.
Don’t say, “It’s all right to cry.”
“Be kind.” “Be fair.” “Be true.”
Just let me see YOU do it.
Then I just might do it too.
LITTLE THINGS
And it always seems those little things
They take the biggest part of me
Break down...I'm breakin down...I'm breakin down...
THE ANTHEM
I'm gonna get by and just do my time, out of step while they all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
