THE A TO Z CHALLENGE 2017:
MY THEME IS YEAR IS RYHTHM AND RHYME:
Which consists of a song and a poem:
HOPE YOU ENJOY:
is for TRY A LITTLE KINDNESS
by
GLEN CAMPBELL:
I recently been reading a book
Entitled "I Can Make You Happy"
It's by the self help writer Paul McKenna,
I picked it up at the bookshop quite snappy.
It's a wonderful book
I have you know.
He has written a quote,
To you I'll show.
"If you want to be happy for a hour......take a nap.
If you want to be happy for a week.....take a vacation.
If you want to be happy for a year........win the lottery.
If you want to be happy for life.......Be KIND TO SOMEONE.
END OF QUOTE
The song says it all,
It's one I've always loved.
As sure as there are stars
In the Heavens above.
I was saddened to learn
Of Glen Campbell being so unwell.
He, through his music,
Have touched the hearts of millions.
THAT i CAN TELL.
Serious shortage of kindness right at the moment in this world of ours. BUT the supplies will be in sometime, hopefully soon. Thumbs up for the guitar, and the song.

Kindness is the best gift and it costs nothing to give. I loved Glen Campbell during his day. Lovely voice and his songs were sing-alongs.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan for a most lovely comment, Kindness as you say is the best gift and yes, Glen certainly was popular.
DeleteYvonne.
He's definitely right about being kind to someone else. That is the ticket to a lifetime of happiness.
ReplyDeleteI quite agree Lee. Thanks for coming by. Hope all is well with you.
DeleteYvonne.
If you want to be happy for life
ReplyDelete.......Be KIND TO SOMEONE
Being kind to someone or everyone is always encouraged. The beauty of it is that it has a way of returning back the favor. Kindness bestowed unto oneself at other times would be very much frequent than otherwise!
