A reflection on life.

Truths Learned From My Father

My father would often say to me

Life is just a point of view,

So don’t cry, if your potato soup is served cold,

they pay a lot for that in fancy restaurants, they call it Vichyssoise.

Look at what you have and what you want,

If you want all you have, then you will enjoy all you want,

Give more than you take and you will gain so much more,

for love is in abundance and you never have to get it from the store,

Remember to love a lot and play some too

and always be honest with others but more important be to yourself true.
