Everything You Have

In a world of sad faces, you will often find one with a smile and you wonder why they are smiling when you know they do not have a lot. Therefore, you ask them why they wear a smile when you have less than I do. They turn and say, I have little food, but I am willing to share it with everyone who has none. I have a roof over my head, there are many who have not. I am at peace with myself, not many can say that. I may not have many friends I can readily rely on, but they all know I am there to always be called upon. I am living, breathing God’s good air. What more do I need? Therefore, I smile for everything I have, for there are a lot worse off than me. The real secret is you see, be at peace with yourself and enjoy everything you have. 17 November 2008
