“A Special Place”
There is a special place in life,
That needs my humble skill,
A certain job I’m meant to do,
Which no one else can fulfill.
The time will be demanding,
And the pay is not too good
And yet I wouldn’t change it
for a moment — even if I could.
There is a special place in life,
A goal I must attain,
A dream that I must follow,
Because I won’t be back again.
There is a mark that I must leave,
However small it seems to be,
A legacy of love for those
Who follow after me.
There is a special place in life,
That only I may share,
A little path that bears my name,
Awaiting me somewhere.
There is a hand that I must hold,
A word that I must say,
A smile that I must give
For there are tears to blow away.
There is a special place in life
that I was meant to fill.
A sunny spot where flowers grow,
upon a windy hill.
There’s always a tomorrow and the
best is yet to be,
And somewhere in this world,
I know there is a place for me.
“Chess Playing Dog”
A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his dog. He watched the game in astonishment for a while.
“I can hardly believe my eyes!” he exclaimed. “That’s the smartest dog I’ve ever seen.”
“Nah, he’s not so smart,” the friend replied. “I’ve beaten him three games out of five.”
For College Students
Start Worrying When...
You consider McDonalds ‘real food’.
4.00AM is still early on weekends.
You’d rather clean than study.
Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.
Re-arranging your room is your favorite pastime.
You schedule classes around sleep and TV soaps.
There is less then $4.50 in your bank account at any given time.
The Visa cards are full and the overdraft is up to its limit.
Computer solitaire is more than a game, its a way of life.
You get excited when you find change that someone carelessly left in the drinks machine.
Ice Cream and Birds
A fellow walked into a Baskin & Robbins Ice Cream Parlor on a very hot summery day.
He ordered a double scooped chocolate cone, received it, and then walked away.
Outside on the sidewalk he paused for a bit, then he pulled out a pair of red birds, sat down on a nearby bench with his birds, and placed them on top of his fudgie.
A passerby who glanced over his way and noticed the curious sight, was prompted to ask “What’s happening, Bud, with your treat with two birdies alight?”
The fellow replied in a curious way, in an absolute serious tone, “I’m just trying, dear sir, as best I know how, to chill two birds with one cone.”
Needing Help
Sophie went to see a psychiatrist about her husband.
“Doctor, My husband has this problem. Almost every night now he’s dreaming he’s a refrigerator!”
“My dear, that is not really a problem! A lot of people dream that they are somebody or something unusual...”
Sophie leans forward as she softly whispers this confidence: “But you see doctor it is also a problem for me! Jake sleeps with his mouth open and the light keeps me awake!”
Pleasing?
When I was a child, I remember my Mom telling me, “Son, when you grow up, you can marry any girl you please.”
When I became a young man, I learned the sad fact was that I could not please any of them.
Amen!
