    *Do It Anyway*

    I recived this poem in my email. I think it says so much!

    DO IT ANYWAY

    People are often unreasonable, illogical,
    And self-centered;
    Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you
    Of selfish, ulterior motives;
    Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some
    False friends and some true enemies;
    Succeed anyway.

    If you are honest and frank;
    People may cheat you;
    Be honest and frank anyway.

    What you spend years building,
    someone could destroy overnight;
    Build anyway.

    If you find serenity and happiness,
    they may be jealous;
    Be happy anyway.

    The good you do today,
    people will often forget tomorrow;
    Do good anyway.

    Give the world the best you have,
    and it may never be enough;
    Give the world the best you've got anyway.

    You see, in the final analysis
    it is between you and God
    It was never between you and them anyway.

    I also admire Mother Theresa. She was a giving, caring and amazing woman. That is so awesome that your daughter was blessed and saved by her.. Thank you for posting this.

    I like that, too.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Oh, I think I've read that poem before!! It is SO neat, I really love it!! (and thanks for the encouragement...I needed that!) Oh, I have some friends also that met Mother Teresa, and were with her personally for like 4 hours or so! It sounded so neat!


    Thanks Kay!!

    Very nice poem.

    This is one of my favorite quotes of hers -

    "Saying there is to many babies is like saying there are to many flowers" ♥

    "Old dogs are like old shoes: they are comfortable. They may be a bit
    out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well."
