Proverb and Poem from Elizabeth Wotton

A Swedish Proverb:

Those who wish to sing always find a song.

If you lose the song in your heart
It doesn’t hurt
To ask someone to help you get it back.

A poem:

Life can’t be counted in candles or measured in number of years,
It’s counted in small joys and good times and laugh lines

Life can’t be counted in candles but in things done with effort and pride–
With dreams followed boldly and hopes kept alive– in times when we failed — but tried

Life can’t be counted in candles or measured in years that have flown
It’s counted in kindness, close friends, and loved ones, and in all the sweet blessings we’ve known.
