Every Day

by Ilona Rosenthal Payne, 2012

Live every day like it would be your last,
leave yesterday's trouble be in the past.
Keep your eyes focused on the road that's ahead,
don't ever give up but keep walking instead.

Love every day unconditionally and true, 
because what you give out always comes back to you.
Never put your head to rest when you're mad,
but ask for forgiveness before going to bed.

Hope every day that you get one more chance,
to talk to your mother while holding her hand.
Help out your Vater without a delay,
because the one that giveth can taketh away!



And when your time comes I hope you can say:
I'd live my life the very same way.
I'd count the blessings each and every day,
not the once I received but the ones I gave away.

Ingredients:

5 medium size Red Delicious Apples
8 marshmallows cut in little cubes (I used a pair of scissors dedicated for cooking)
4 tablespoons of peanut butter
3 tablespoons of shredded coconut
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of white sugar
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground muscat
Chocolate syrup and some shredded coconut to decorate






If we all would focus in on our very own actions with the same set of binoculars that we use to judge others,  we would all be seeing a lot clearer!
