Guest guest Posted December 10, 1999 Report Share Posted December 10, 1999 First I was dying to finish high school And I was dying to go and join the college And then I was dying to finish college And then I was dying to start working Then I was dying to get married And then dying to have my own children And then I was dying to take care of my children When they grow old enough, I was dying to go back to work But then I was dying to look forward to retire And now, I am dying . . . And suddenly I realized I had a dream! I determine to live rather than dying I decided to enjoy every day of my living And thank God for the good and bad in my life. I am living for God and I have nothing to worry Good and bad come and go, but I have to live I realize that everyday is a day of thanksgiving. Give Him the praise for what He is doing in my life Perhaps something is amiss or has gone awry But He is my Lord and I his servant He can never leave me behind nor I can leave him He is within me and I am within Him I am always living and everyday is worth living! I have no more dreams and no more dying! - Ram Chandran Burke, VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
