My corner of the sky

I saw the sun just starting to set this evening as I was driving home from choir practice and it was beautiful....unfortunately, when I got home and went searching for it, I could just see a little color in my corner of the sky.  My house is not situated in a location where I can see sunsets.  Yet I was really happy and thankful to be able to stand and look at this....my corner of the sky.  It reminded me somehow, that as tempting as it is, as easy as it is... to get caught up in all the negativity in the world...that I have to try my hardest to be positive, look for the positive and think positively...even when life gets stressful....  I have to be positive and hopeful and faithful that I will find my corner of the sky.

"Every man has his daydreams

Every man has his goal

People like the way dreams have

Of sticking to the soul

Thunderclouds have their lightning

Nightingales have their song 

And don't you see I want my life to be

Something more than long...

Rivers belong where they can ramble

Eagles belong where they can fly

I want to be where my spirit can run free

Got to find my corner of the sky."
