Best Friend

  • Each day is an adventure

    A new road to explore
    A life upon which to expand
    As we travel and learn more

    Happiness is within us all
    But times, yet hard to see
    Yet oft I think we search to long
    And we really just need to be

    Look into the glass each day
    The reflection in which truth lies
    Look beyond what eyes can see
    To where the heart resides

    Kindness is a gift you know
    Not all who live receive
    Some hearts are made of solid stone
    Simply 'cause they won't believe

    Walk down the street with open eyes
    What do you truly see there
    Don't allow the broken hearts
    To drag you to despair

    Encountering those saddened hearts
    A choice you now do face
    Allow their pain to bring you down
    Or share your smile with grace

    Each one of us lives day to day
    Always hoping for happiness
    Stop seeking for the world to fill
    That lonely spot for less

    Look into the reflective glass
    And see what lies within
    Open up the inner you
    Become your own best friend

    Relying on the world
    To fill your heart with glee
    Leaves us at a loss each day
    Longing to be free

    Others love us more
    Than we love ourselves
    For relying on another
    Just leaves us on the shelf

    Happiness is a hungry thing
    And must be fed each day
    To feed and grow full happiness
    Is such a simple way

    Look daily in the mirror
    Smiling at your face
    Say "Good Morning Beautiful"
    Believe those words of grace

    Love yourself as the day begins
    Believe until the end
    Smile at all those you see
    And Be Your Own Best Friend!

    Karman Warner So often in life we look to others to make us feel good about who we are, if we do not like ourselves all the validation in the world is a mute point. :) To truly love another we must first love ourselves; in my opinion that includes The Lord. In my qua...  more
