i used to think that life is a multitude of colours
but now i think it's in black, white and shades of grey
i used to think that what counts is what i have
but now i think its who i have that really counts
i used to think that it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all
but now i think it's better to love and not expect anything in return
i used to think that it's hard to forgive others
but now i think it's harder to forgive yourself
i used to think that strength is a physical attribute
but now i think strength is a mental as well as an emotional attribute
i used to think that miracles are rare and have to be something earth-shaking
but now i think miracles surround me daily and that it's a miracle to be able to wake up each day
my pillow's beckoning. as i'm about to lay my head down to rest, i can't help but feel thankful for being blessed with miracles each day.
