If we could gaze into a crystal ball,
Be able with a glance to see it all,
View people living out their dreams,
The hills, valleys, oceans, and streams,
So wonderful it would be to see it all,
If we could gaze into a crystal ball,
Seeing in advance every human need,
A better life for all could be guaranteed,
Changes for good made in advance,
Foreseeing all things with a telling glance,
Peek at occasions that will cause us to fall,
All seen beforehand in the crystal ball,
Checkout one's self for a quick review,
Revealing all with an inside view,
Seeing all things that are unforeseen,
Viewing our lives as on a movie screen,
Would our actions demand a curtain call?
If we viewed our lives in a crystal ball,
Doing our very best for those in need,
So a better life for all could be guaranteed,
Foreseeing the future with a telling glance,
Will we correct our wrongs in advance?
Solving mysteries without any clues,
With the help of crystal clear previews,
I guess it would be great to have an inside view,
Just think of all the barriers we could breakthrough,
But Infinite Wisdom has graced us with the unknown,
To accomplish all good through human love alone,
The earth in its universal space like a giant crystal ball,
Upon His throne, God alone has a crystal clear view of us all.

First there's the soil the bed for a need,
The virgin earth to till and seed,
Storms bring rain, the night the dew,
Then the morning sun shines through,
What started out as soil and a tiny seed,
Water and sun will nourish and feed,
Nurture with love and watch it grow,
Miracles happen, but first you must sow,
Cultivate with gentle care at the start,
Each seed that you sow is a work of art,
As it grows you must weed and prune,
Your hard work will pay off very soon,
Flowers bring forth fruit; buds to flowers,
Time well spent laboring those many hours,
Gardens of plenty fulfilling our every need,
Nurture with love, the soil and the seed.

When the road gets bumpy,

The mountains high, the valleys deep and wide,

Character finds the person with a treasure deep inside,

Some refuse to deal with obstacles in the way,

Others take it to the next level, day, after day, after day,

Giving up, surrendering, or losing the will to fight,

No one can replace the dream of keeping the goal in sight,

Sweat, hard work, and a strong back bone or two,

It’s amazing what desire in a winner’s heart can do,

So when you think you gave it your all,

And there is nothing left inside,

Reach down and dig a little deeper,

And there you’ll find your pride,

Nothing is impossible if you really aspire to win,

Remember we have all been blessed,

With the strength that dwells within,
