Pay It Forward

A message sent across the miles to raise in you a thousand smiles,
Well if not a thousand then a few for sure, then later perhaps a thousand more,

Like a message in a bottle to brighten up your day,
To make you think of good times past, cast lonesome thoughts away,

Perhaps a love has gone forever, but great memories you keep,
Once love is found its never lost as long as you can bear the cost,

The cost is just to give that love away, to everyone you meet,
Till one fine day, a while from now, you’ll surely love again,
And find another love, to cast away the shadows and drive away the pain,

We never know, nor can we tell, we just have to wait and see,
And heed the immortal words in song of Eva Cassidy,
'Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true’,

Its just life’s trials, so let them pass on by,
Just aim for the stars and you’ll surely reach the sky,
Keep your attitude of gratitude with you every day,
And cast that love you have within, to all, in every kind of way.
