LEARNING HOW TO LIVE

Sometimes, in my quiet spaces
When I'm all alone 
When the world seems silent
And I am on my own
When no one knows I'm there
And the world becomes so small
I find sometimes, I wonder;
If I really matter at all
It's then that I remember 
Someone's sweet smile 
And all the beautiful times I've had
Though it's been a while
It's the little things you do each day
It's the many lives you touch
A kind word, making a difference
When it didn't seem like much
Now, in my quiet spaces
When I am all alone 
I do what makes someone else happy 
When I am on my own
I bring my own sunshine
On a rainy day
Paint rainbows everywhere
To chase the gray clouds away
Sometimes you have to give to yourself
What you hoped someone else would give
It's called making the most of life
And learning how to live
