THE HOUSE IS BATHED
BY THE RISING SUN.
IT OFFERS TRANQUIL
SHADE IN THE
EVENINGS ON THE
VERANDA.

SOME TIME LATER, THE POET MET HIS FRIEND AND ASKED WHETHER HE HAD SOLD THE PROPERTY?

TO WHICH HE REPLIED: “I’VE CHANGED MY MIND.WHEN I READ WHAT YOU HAD WRITTEN,
I REALIZED THE TREASURE THAT WAS MINE.”

SOMETIMES WE UNDERESTIMATE THE GOOD THINGS WE HAVE, CHASING AFTER THE MIRAGES OF FALSE TREASURES.

WE OFTEN SEE PEOPLE LETTING GO OF THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR SPOUSES, THEIR
FRIENDS, THEIR PROFESSION,

THEIR KNOWLEDGE - ACCUMULATED OVER MANY YEARS ,THEIR GOOD HEALTH, THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE.
![Page 12: Song of the_birds](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051523/549043f3b47959b7768b46c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THEY THROW OUT
WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN
THEM SO FREELY.
THINGS WHICH WERE
NOURISHED WITH SO
MUCH CARE AND
EFFORT .

LOOK AROUND AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE:
YOUR HOME, YOUR LOVED ONES, FRIENDS ON WHOM YOU CAN REALLY COUNT, THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE
GAINED, YOUR GOOD HEALTH.

AND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS OF LIFE,
![Page 15: Song of the_birds](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051523/549043f3b47959b7768b46c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THAT ARE TRULY YOUR MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE.

WE CAN NO LONGER SHOWER KINDNESS ON THOSE WE LOVE, AFTER THEY HAVE DIED.

IT IS USELESS TO
WANT TO RE-DO
THE WORK THAT WE
MAY HAVE DONE
NEGLIGENTLY.
IT‘S BEST TO
APPRECIATE AND DO
THINGS WELL NOW.

ASK OF GOD AT EVERY MOMENTTHAT OUR PROBLEMS AND CONCERNS
NEVER DEGENERATE INTO FEELINGS OF SADNESS AND ANXIETY.

BE IN UNION WITH GOD, WHO WILL PROVIDE THE COURAGE NEEDED
FOR VICTORY IN THE STRUGGLE; BECAUSE GOD GIVES WITH ABUNDANCE WHAT WE NEED.

INSTEAD OF ISOLATING YOURSELF BECAUSE OF WEAKNESS OR FAILURE,
SEEK TO INVEST IN TRUE AND CONSTRUCTIVE FRIENDSHIPS IN YOUR LIFE.

FAITH IN GOD IS NECESSARY TO STRENGTHEN SELF-ESTEEM
IN DEALING WITH DAILY PROBLEMS.
