1200 A THANKSGIVING PEARL

While working toward achieving ♥️felt goals

Our paths offer bountiful blessings and unexpected challenge

While working toward achieving goals, which seem illusive
Our paths offer two steps forward, one step back
Though feeling stalled gives rise to frustration

Intuition coaches the strong of ♥️ to remember this fact:
Nothing that proves worthwhile comes easy

And as experience proves that fact to be true, time and again
I encourage my sons to pave their paths with

Patience, positive focus and fortitude born of courage
Why courage?
Well, courage forestalls anxiety from
Claiming so much brain space as to
Unsettle peace of mind at times when
♥️felt goals remain beyond reach

In recent years, Steven and Celina

Held hands with hope while

Venturing forth upon the parenthood path

As their ♥️felt goal seemed illusive
They conceived of a plan so positively focused as to
Leave no oyster unturned
And, today, I'm happy to say that

Their pearl of a plan bore fruit so sweet
As to offer the joyous pair this delicious

Thanksgiving treat:
The birth of a precious daughter!

And now that today's positively focused
Train of thought has flown straight from
My happy♥️to yours, I'd like to extend
My Thanksgiving wish for the world, at large:

Hopefully, one day soon, precious children of
Every nationality, encircling the globe, will hold fast to
Each other's hands while visions of world peace
Dance within their bright, little minds
I mean, seriously, positively focused trains of thought, which
We pour into our children's minds, day after day
Create world leaders, whose adopted attitudes
Will carve a path toward
Peaceful coexistence, tomorrow, tomorrow, which
Is only a day away ... suggesting that
Within the blink of an eye
I'll gaze at my precious granddaughter, and
Like the fiddler on the roof
You'll hear my voice ring out with
Clarity born of insight's ♥️felt inner truth:
When did she grow to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
How did tomorrow come and go so quickly as to create
Yesterday of that which our ♥️s had hoped to achieve, today ...
Your ever hopeful, positively focused, NGU friend ...
