The Oyster

We had a little RS Super Saturday and I was one of the speakers. I used this little poem and thought I would share it in my blog.

So many times we focus so much negative energy on things that we cannot do anything about, but one thing we can always change is OUR OUTLOOK!

The Oyster

There once was an Oyster who's story I'll tell
Who found that some sand had worked under his shell
Just one little grain, but it gave him a pain
For Oysters have feelings that are very plain
Now did he berate this working of fate
That left him in such a deplorable state,
Did he curse the government, call for an election
And say that the sea should provide some protection
No he said to himself as he sat on the shelf,
Since I can't remove it, I think I'll improve it.
Well years passed by as years always do
Until he came to his destiny-Oyster Stew!
And the one grain of sand that troubled him so,
Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow.
Now this tail has a moral-For isn't it grand
What an Oyster can do with a small grain of sand
And what couldn't we do if we'd only begin
With all of the things that get under our skin.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BE HAPPY!!!!
