Is any of us special? No, we're all the same.

"I used to think I was different.... Above all the rest.... Smarter than..... I always thought they were all shallow.... And I was the only one with a head on my shoulder," a blogger wrote.
Then comes the realization. "But look inside, we're all the same.... And in the end, the only thing that's different? Is our names."

And I could only agree.
But before I go, here is my....

IN GRATITUDE

A puff of wind, that's what we are.
Our days, a passing shadow.
Of yesterday, we know not much -
none of what's for tomorrow!

Today we sing, and laugh, and smile
with every bird that flies on high;
But birds do not stay long enough -
leaving us all to cry and sigh!

This shouldn't make us wonder, though -
our life, like the bird's, is short;
Rather, we ought to find a way
to know how much we're worth!

But who are we? What have we got?
Oft times we say what we are not!
In truth, each of us is just a lowly creature -
a thing of dust, shorn of grandeur!

To brag will only bring us shame -
none of fame, indeed;
Pay homage to our Creator instead -
to Him, we ought to bow our head!

"Father Almighty, accept our humble thanks.
We know this is not enough.
For all that we have - come from You,
You've given us so much!"
