Those Hap Happy Days - by Stan C. Countz

Dare to Dream Big

Today you're one day closer to achieving your dreams and your goals.  You're one day older so be braver and bolder and dare to bare your soul. Don't look over your shoulder. Only believe. By faith you can do most anything. It's never as easy as at first it seems. So turn off the TV and turn on your dreams.

Approach each new day as a new adventure; nothing gained, nothing ventured. Each new day brings brand new chances to take control of your circumstances. No one knows which way the wind blows, when it's time to come or time to go. All we know is we're the sheep of His fold and we all must reap just what we sow.

Life is a vapor. It's fading fast. Like the morning paper, it ain't gonna last. Flowers will wither like the morning grass, so savor it while it lasts. The future will be the past so live each day as though it may be your last.

And don't ask the reason why. Take time to laugh and cry, jump out of the nest and you'll be blessed so spread your wings and fly and never let your dreams ever die.

Don't lose hope. Just believe. Throw me a rope. Do a good deed. Never coast. Take the lead. Never boast and you'll succeed.

Don't give up, persevere. When one door shuts one more appears. So look your fear right in the face. Trust His justice, love and grace.

Take your dreams down off the shelf. Trust in God and trust yourself. You won't find treasure 'til you start to dig. If dream you must, then you might as well DREAM BIG! -- Stan C. Countz, lyricist
