I GIVE TO YOU
A fire to light inside your heart,
to feel the warm embers glow.
A piece of the sun's warm rays,
to bask in its fiery show.

I GIVE TO YOU
A piece of a rainbow to color your world,
when all seems totally gray.
Some roses for the sweet perfume,
to kiss your senses with its bouquet.

I GIVE TO YOU
A sprinkling of some twinkling stars,
to wish upon at night.
The morning dew to kiss the day,
To bask in its delight.

I GIVE TO YOU
A summer's breeze to caress your face,
to show that someone cares.
The sweet song of the nightingale,
to remind you that I am always there.

I GIVE TO YOU
My lasting friendship, always true.
A gift of love to hold inside,
whenever you feel blue,
or just because you need a friend.
This friend...that will always be there for you!!

TWELVE POINTS ON ATTITUDE

1. It is your attitude at the beginning of a task more than anything else that will determine your success or failure.
2. It is your attitude towards life that will determine life's attitude towards you. Despite many people's belief to the contrary, life pays no favorites.
3. You control your attitude. If you are negative it is because you have decided to be negative and not because of other people or circumstances.
4. Act as if you have a good attitude. Remember actions trigger feelings just as feelings trigger actions.
5. Before a person can achieve the kind of results he wants, he must first become that person. He must then think, walk, talk, act and conduct himself in all of his affairs, as would the person he wishes to become.
6. Treat everybody as the most important person in the world.
7. Attitudes are based on assumptions. In order to change attitudes one must first change one's assumptions.
8. Develop the attitude that there are more reasons why you should succeed than reasons why you should fail.
9. When you are faced with a problem, adopt the attitude that you can and will solve it.
10. We become what we think about. Control your thoughts and you will control your life.
11. Radiate the attitude of confidence, of well being, of a person who knows where he is going. You will then find good things happening to you right away.
12. In order to develop a good attitude, take charge first thing in the morning. Do you say, "Good morning, Lord" or "Good Lord, morning?"
