Who is the star-crossed friend Madamoiselle Whitney Houston crooned to as others clapped in 1999's My Love is Your Love? And now Mickey fans, Easter Eve 2010 has befallen us, I have received another pkt. of jewels in the mail with my personal address included. Don't credit my pending ASCAP customer license or me, you only have the Omaha Home for Boys to give applause to.
Only a Moment
It only takes a moment
to give a word of cheer,
to warm the heart of someone
whose skies are dark and drear.
It only takes a moment
to clasp another's hand,
tell him that you'd like to help,
you care and understand.
It only takes a moment,
and yet, in hurried pace,
we often neglect small kindnesses,
a frown upon our face.
Perhaps we have forgotten
when in our hour of need
how much it meant when others gave
a kindly word or deed.
It only takes a moment
to breathe a little prayer,
asking God to bless His children
in places everywhere.
These precious little moments
send winging far and near,
like homing pigeons that will return
to bring our own heart cheer.

Good Morning God
You are ushering in another day
untouched and freshly new,
so here I come to ask You God
if You'll renew me too?
Forgive the many errors that
I made yesterday,
and let me try again dear God,
to walk closer in Thy way.
But Father, I am well aware
I can't make it on my own,
so take my hand ad hold it tight
For I can't walk alone
-Helen Steiner Rice-
