Unfinished Or Endless

Nor by the number of pages in it
Judge it by the richness of its contents

Nor by the number of its notes
Judge it by the way it touches and lifts the Soul
Sometimes those unfinished are among the most beautiful
And when something has enriched your life
And when it’s melody lingers on in your heart
Is it unfinished?
Or is it endless?

If ever you are feeling down
Whatever it is that makes you frown
Just open your eyes and look about
You’ll find something, without a doubt
To make you smile and appreciate
That the simple things in life are great
A smile, a glance, a hug, a touch
From someone that you love so much
A flower, a leaf, a blade of grass

The serenity of a sleeping child
Even if in the daytime they tend to run wild
A newborn baby so complete yet so small
You can’t help but wonder the miracle of it all

Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside
You are the person who makes up your mind
Whether you’ll lead or will linger behind
Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s afar
Or just be contented to stay where you are
