Drift    
Let yourself drift away…
At sea
On vacation
In mind

The wonders of the wandering mind when you drift away…
Clarity
Rest
Imagination

So many ways you can drift away…
Walking through winding park
Sipping your soothing beverage
Listening to reminiscing songs

It’s time to drift away…
Breathe fresh air
Let your mind wander
Smile as you daydream

Life in Words            
Thoughts on theology
Words of wisdom
Language of love

Lust for life
Fun at festivals
Caroling at concerts

Dreaming in daytime
Praying for peace
Reveling in rapture

Life’s Plan     
Life isn’t always as you planned it
It’s the people with whom you share it 
That make it worth living

Life isn’t always as you planned it
It’s the purpose you pursue in it
That makes it worth living

Life isn’t always as you planned it
It’s the gratitude you have for it
That makes it worth living
