Good Girls Stay Empty-Handed

There use to be a time that I would sit by the phone, waiting for you to call me.  I would put everything that I was doing aside, and just watch the clock, wondering why you haven’t called me?  Worrying that something may have happened, praying that nothing was wrong.  There use to be a time that you would tell me to stay home, that you were on your way over.  I stayed put--only to be stood-up. I was willing to do anything for you that is just how much I loved you.  I wonder if the tables were turned--would you sit by the phone all day waiting for me to call you?  Would you stay at home patiently and wait for me to come by?  I don’t think so!  How would you like for me to play games with your mind?  Would you still carry a smile?  I don’t think so!  

I am determined to fulfill my dream.  I would like to build a homeless shelter that will enable the ones the ones that I help to become a positive inspiration to people who are less fortunate.  I mediate today on what I can do to make tomorrow better.  I concentrate on the future to see if there is an easier way to make life seem fair.  I look at what the future could bring and what the past has taught me.  I feel the pain of what my future generation has to endure tomorrow, and what they can’t endure today.  I pray that I can help to open doors that previously were shut in others’ faces before me.  I pray for all mankind that through FAITH to believe that anything is possible.
