I wish you all the pleasures







I wish you all the pleasures
The world has to give,
Pleasures of a pure heart
And soul


I wish you the exhilaration
Felt atop mountain peaks,
I wish you the cool comfort
Of a shaggy, shady oak


I wish you all the passion
That a love for the ages,
A nurturing, spontaneous love,
Can generously give


I wish you never know loneliness,
Never know pain and sorrow
To excess or extremes,
And if you do,
It gives birth to future joys


I wish you good health
Of mind, body and spirit,
That your journey through life
Be a peaceful one


I wish you friendship
The kind that supports you,
Sustains you,
And makes you stop to smile


I wish you love and friendship,
Comfort and peace,


I wish you joy!

Crossing the Street




Crossing the Street



This morning I was walking down the sidewalk.
As I came to the street corner, I noticed a man
on the opposite side.
He was an older man, wearing a bright
jacket with  yellow colour.
As I saw the guide dog and the walking stick
he carried, I realized he was blind.
°
When the light changed and I walked
toward him he remained still.
I began to worry.
Was something wrong with the dog?
The walk signal was unusual,
not affixed to the light post;
it hung from above, smaller than normal.
Perhaps the dog didn’t recognize it.
°
When I reached his corner
I realized he was holding a large laminated card
attached to his wrist by a rubber band.
In typed print it read:
I am BLIND and DEAF.
I need your help crossing the street.
 THANK YOU.
°
I decided to help him. All I could do
was guiding him silently, as best I could.
°
When we were safely on the far side
of the street, he let my arm go and
said something unintelligible,
sounds not fully formed into words
he could not hear.
I knew he was thanking me.
I could not say what
I wanted back to him.
°
All day long I have been appreciating
the little tings. The wonderful feeling
when I felt the warm summer sun
in my face. The children's sound coming
from the park. The immense elation
and freedom on this world
full of colour and beauty.
°
Whatever burdens I have to bear,
I am so very, very fortunate to be here.
°
 ..and it had been an honour to help him.

Beautiful story, Viera, and also well presented. It was a joy to read it, and I'm glad I got an opportunity to do so. I consider myself fortunate because early on in life I learned a lesson for life never to take anything for granted, and I also love the small things in life more than expensive material things.
Thanks a lot Arne for your
precious comment...
We have to learn not to take the things
for granted... In our life are the little things that are parts of our daily routines..We can be thankful for it...We need to literally "count our blessings," give thanks for them, allow ourselves to enjoy them...

Great story Viera.
I agree with you that in our life there are so many beautiful small things which have a big value...

Many times we don't recognise it.

Great post, dear Viera ! ... Thank You
Although we never expected rewards
of good deeds we do...
but that's the beauty feeling from GOD,
inner satisfaction that comes into its own...
so... we should not get bored to do good deeds
as far as we could... and does not discriminate.

Have a happy new Week to all... Hugs.

Vítam ju medzi nami a prajem všetko najlepšie

Je veľmi krásna
Díky...je to ale Tomáškova zásluha...

Je taká drobnučká a zdá sa, že je celkom
ako Karolínka...
Zato prstíky má rovno pre klavír...

Lucka bola tiež úplne v pohode...
