I took this from my 11 year old Grandaughters wall at facebook. had to share..
When I Woke Up This Morning I Asked Myself, "What Is Life About?" I Found The Answer In My Room...The Fan Said,, "Be Cool." The Roof Said,, "Aim High." The Window Said, "See The world!",, The Clock Said,, "Every Minute Is Precious." The Mirror Said, "Reflect Before You Act.." The Calendar Said, "Today's A New Day." The Door Said, "Push Hard For Your Goals." The Floor said, "Kneel Down And Pray~)

A lot of people would love to know who wrote that. I found it all over the net but the author is unknown. There are three lines missing, I found them on about half of the ones I read. Carry a Heart that Never Hates. Carry a Smile that Never Fades. Carry a Touch that Never Hurts. It's also really cool that of the people who added this saying to their web pages and blogs there were Muslim, Hindu and Christian alike..

Grandmas like to brag. I have 13 granddaughters ;D Rose since first grade has went to two schools in one day. She is ahead of her own age group. The second school is an advance teaching.. When she was just turning two years old.. Her Mother brought her up from Missouri to visit me. Her Mother was in the shower. I was watching her. She ran to the TV and ask . Grandma what are those balls all going around the other big ball? I told her we live on the blue ball . She said Oh that ground outdoors is round. I told her we go around the sun.. and the others are more balls like us going around the sun. I tried to make it simple She must of ask 25 more questions? ;D Is that what the stars in the sky are? Where is the moon on this TV? Are the other stars suns or moons or like us? Later my oldest granddaughter came in that evening. She sat there and told her everything she had learned. She did not leave out a thing I may of talked early myself ;D ;D Not that Im sure you would believe ;D But I was not interested in learning things I finally went to the bedroom and ask my daughter in the shower Are you about done? I should not say it, but I was getting a little exhausted from all the questions. I told my daughter what we were discussing. She said Oh really? Rose never misses anything.. I thought it was cute and very sweet. One day at 18 months she told her in front of me.. Mom quit singing the chorus and go to the verse of the song. we both about fell over.. She read a newpaper at four pretty darn good. she would read them to me on the way down to MO. in the car..

Excuse my Jo .. I thought you left a link. My birth day card I sent her the first of the month, just arrive at her home today.. so she called to tell me. I had are post office looking for it and her Mother did the same in Mo.. My mail gets there always in two days. this took two and half weeks..they had my house number I put on the envelope crossed out and had added another three times.. Wow. they sent it to three places in that town before they finally realized it was right to begin with. What is the matter with their postal service?.. I was going to track down the Visa card gift I had seen. what a mess. but all is well , Im happy tonight..

I agree that those three lines don't match the rest of the poem. Maybe other people were just adding stuff in? Or they could have got them mixed up some how with another poem.

It's hard to know..because no one quite knows where it came from. I only know that half of the posts had the extra lines and they are good things to aim for too. I think they probably were tacked onto the original.

Thats quite ok, I like the three lines. I copied them for myself.. I would of been back but been looking at Pauls fishing pics. He sure caught some hugh. saltwater fish, I did not know the name of the fish. I only know what we catch in my neck of the woods. He probably thought Lois is no fishermen. I don't anymore but we did for our entire life. Ever heard of Groupers Jo. you live near the ocean don't you?

stoled another..
A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut, no one knows she was raped at 13. People call another guy fat. No one knows he has a serious disease causing him to be overweight . People call an old man ugly. No one knows he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war. Re-post this if you are against bullying and stereotyping. I bet 90% of you won't.

Hope u members don't mind. it seems I have a thread going here for Rose. Everyday she puts something special on her wall..
Wish heaven had a phone. So I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart. Re-post if you love someone in heaven

Rose Hall AMBER ALERT!! Senath Mo. A lil 3 year old girl has been missing since 11:00am this morning an she was seen in an older model white van. no make or model an license plate yet. But the van has a ladder on the back going to the top of the van. Put this as your status. It could save her. The kidnapping is recent so do it. 3 seconds will not kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it might save her life.
