Where You Go

An Inspirational Poem based on “Where You Go” from Harmony

By Lisa Miramon

 

SOMEWHERE

SOMETIME

TWO PEOPLE…

A MOTHER AND CHILD

A HUSBAND AND WIFE

A BROTHER AND SISTER.

A LOVE SO STRONG

SCARED

BUT TOGETHER.

WILLING TO TAKE THAT STEP INTO ETERNITY

WHATEVER THAT MAY BE

TO BE WITH THAT PERSON FOREVER.

A HEART FULL OF LOVE

A HEART FULL OF HOPE.

A VOICE THAT SAYS I AM HERE.

TAKE MY HAND

I WILL FOLLOW YOU

WHEREVER THE ROAD MAY LEAD

WE WILL GO

INTO THE LIGHT

OR INTO THE DARKNESS

FOREVER.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
But by the moments that take our breath away....


(submitted by Linda Madden)

No one is going to save you, you've got to save yourself.


No one is going to give you anything you've got to go out and get it.
No one knows what you want except you.
And no one will be as sorry as you if you don't get it.
So don't give up on your dreams. (Barry Manilow)

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst....a spark that creates extraordinary results."

A mum is God's love in action, she looks with her heart
and feels with her eyes.
A mum is the bank where children deposit all their worries and hurt.
A mum is the cement that holds her family together and her love lasts a
lifetime.

I read about a fellow Barry fan that has just passed.  Her name was Patricia Ann Helling, Age 64. She was from Minnasota. Her motto was:
 
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the one's that don't and believe that everything happens for a reason.  If you get a chance, take it.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said It would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. 

Inspiration From Barry

"What the world could be IF We ALL just Stopped
insisting that we were Separate....because We're NOT.... we're just Different....Beautifully Different...
But ONE". *By: Barry Manilow :)*
