[hometext] => This one was just too good to pass up. I've always believed that God helps those who help themselves.
[bodytext] =>  DON'T STOP PLAYING When the house lights dimmed, the concert was about to begin. The mother returned to an empty seat, gone her son therein? Suddenly the curtains parted, and the spotlight was focused, Center stage sat an impressive Steinway piano choicest. In horror the mother saw her little boy seated at the keyboard! Completely uninhibited picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," the audience he ignored. Enter the great piano master heading straight for the piano....He whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit, Keep playing, I'll follow." Leaning over, Paderewki reached left and played the bass part His right arm reached around the child, and he added a running obbligato by heart. The creative concerto was uniquely played by the old master and the young novice. A frightening experience was transformed into a tranquil calmness. Mesmerizing the audience they couldn't recall what else the great master played. Only the classic, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star they were completely waylaid. Have you ever thought, perhaps that's the way it is with God? What we can accomplish on our own is not anything we can applaud. We can try our best, but the results aren't always graceful flowing music However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be magic! The next time you set out to accomplish a great feat, Listen carefully, you may hear the voice of the Master in case of a defeat...... "Don't quit!" "Keep playing." He will whisper in your ear. May you feel His arms around you and know that he is near. His hands join yours, helping your feeble attempts into true masterpieces. Remember too, God doesn't seem to call the 'equipped,' rather He equips the "called" of all ages. Our lives are more accurately measured by those we touch Than by the material possessions we acquire even if much! So touch someone by passing this little message along. May God Bless You and be with you, helping you always play your heart's song!  This beautiful story was sent to me by my beautiful friend. Betty. The poem is mine.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
