A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door. SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?' MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman. SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?' MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily. SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?' MUM: 'If you must know, I make Rs. 50 an hour.' SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down. SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow Rs.25?' The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his roo...

There is a special place in life, that needs my humble skill, A certain job I'm meant to do, which no one else can fulfill The time will be demanding, and the pay is not too good And yet I wouldn't change it for a moment -- even if I could There is a special place in life, a goal I must attain, A dream that I must follow, because I won't be back again. There is a mark that I must leave, however small it seems to be, A legacy of love for those who follow after me There is a special place in life, that only I may share, A little path that bears my name, awaiting me somewhere. There is a hand that I must hold, a word that I must say, A smile that I must give for there are tears to blow away There is a special place in life that I was meant to fill A sunny spot where flowers grow, upon a windy hill There's always a tomorrow and the best is yet to be, And somewhere in this world, I know there is a place for me

I've dreamed many dreams that never came true, I've seen them vanish at dawn, But I've realized enough of my dreams thank the Lord, To make me want to dream on, I've prayed many prayers when no answer came, Though I've waited patient and long, But answers have come to enough of my prayers, To make me keep praying on, I've trusted many a friend that failed, And left me to weep alone, But I've found enough of my friends that are really true, That will make me keep trusting on. I've sown many seeds that have fallen by the way, For the birds to feed upon, But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hand, To make me keep sowing on. I've drunk from the cup of disappointment and pain, I've gone many days without song, But I've sipped enough nectar from the Roses of Life, To make me keep living on!
