Cheerfully,
Sounding,
Harmony!
The Symphony,
Resounds in accord!
Such a sweet melody.
Proclaiming the Holiday.
Joyful tones inviting hearts to rejoice!
We celebrate the seasonal sounds,
Of masterpieces performed in perfect unity!

Harvest moon tonight
Shines down as I celebrate
Sukkot joyfully

The fireworks are over,
The celebrations cease.
Independence Day has passed,
Patriotism tends to decrease.
Yet, Old Glory still stands waving,
For she celebrates freedom everyday.
Her Stars and Stripes fly freely,
Unflurried, come what may.
May her presence daily remind us,
To value our liberty.
Let’s choose to celebrate everyday,
We live in this Home of the Free!

There’s power in a smile
To chase a frown away.
It will uplift a gloomy spirit,
And cheer up someone’s day!
We all have one we can use,
So let’s put it on for those we meet.
It costs nothing to wear,
And it’s beauty can’t be beat!

June 15th is a day specially set aside to celebrate the smile and encourage everyone to share one!

69 years ago this day
A baby was born.
No one knew at that time
The baby was me.
It took all those years
To create the me I am today.
So, on this remembrance day of my birth,
I want to thank God for my life,
And praise Him for all He has done to make me–me.
