Life can be hurtful, and not always fair.
Life can surround you, with people who care.
Life clearly does offer, its ups and its downs.
Life teaches us to take, the good with the bad.
Life is a mixture, of happy and sad.
So…..
Take the life that you have, and give it your best.
Think positive, be happy, let the Universe do the rest.
Take the challenges, that life has laid at your feet.
Take pride and be thankful, for each one you meet.
To yourself give forgiveness, if you stumble and fall.
Take each day that is dealt you, and give it your all.
Take the love that you’re given, and return it with care.
Have faith that when needed, it will always be there.
Take time to find the beauty, in the things that you see.
Take life’s simple pleasures, let them set your heart free.

Fabulous Jackie—but then of course it is; you did it, so how could it not be fabulous!

Hi there friend!
This is just awesome. I also had my husband try it who is a documented color blind man. He did not do as well. Go figure. : )
Thanks for all your gentle positivity, you are an inspiration.
I enjoy your blog, your writings and photos.
Hi Jackie thank you for sharing your poem and for your encouragment and support on our Blog it is much appreciated and is very kind of you.
Yes sometimes life can seem hard, Jesus said we would have trouble but He also said with Him we will not have to go through it alone He is always there for us …How good is that! it is as you said… Take the Love that you’re given, and return it with care Have faith that when needed, it will always be there … His Love does indeed never end.
Your words To yourself give forgiveness, if you stumble and fall… Yes when we ask for forgivness for the things we have done wrong we do need to accept it, we don’t have to be happy Clappy about them but we need to not carry the shame around, it will just wear us down.
Thank you again Jackie and may you be greatly blessed.
Christian Love Anne.
