Pretty Bird

(Dana, you asked for something “Inspiring”: hope this is it):



NEVER give up on yourself !!   Not that you ever would,

but it’s important to always keep this in mind :

EVEN IF IT'S PLANTED IN MANURE,

THE PRETTIEST FLOWER GROWS!!

This SO reminds me

of your attitude,

your style,

just YOU!!

A lot of people with more talent,

lots more possibility,

more opportunity

than you

quit !!

Gave up,

quit too soon,

they lost The Dream.

There was no real reason,

they simply lost sight of The Dream!!

I’ve watched you at work, & you must have

One helluva DREAM, Girl!!  You’re an inspiration!!

Remember: circumstances may try to build up its walls

around you , but YOU can always spread your wings!!  &

when you try---when you REALLY try to fly---you’ll soon find

there’s no ceiling!! It's just SKY!! And it’s YOUR sky!So SOAR

pretty bird!!To heights you’ve never  known before, but HAVE dreamed of.



Oh, sure, there’ll be those who hate you:

“She's too beautiful”, or of who you are;

“Who does she  T H I N K  she is?!” , or because you

may be succeeding, (some people are so unable to dream

for themselves  that they will try to steal    Y O U R    dreams;

they are so stupid!!). Those ones  gave up,

even before they began!!! LOSERS!!

& now they want to  discourage   Y O U ! ? !

Don’t look at or listen to these people!!

Beware of petty Princes,

Beware  of cheap Queens.

& remember that a lot of people believe in you.

Like  I do.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

She was a co-worker who came to work one day, &, having that day to work late, she came in at Noon.  I was sitting at the front desk when she came in.  She had teased her hair in a wonderful way, & when she came into the front office, the sun was behind her, lighting up her whole body, expecially her hair, & she looked like some kind of exotic bird flying in the door!!  That's what I told her, & this is what she caused.
