Another Day Has Dawned

"Positive action begins in our own backyards;
Positive action flows through your own neighborhood;
Positive action can encompass your own small town or city;
… And through this, we are all connected.

Be a mentor when others fail to counsel;
Be a counselor when others fail to listen;
Be a listener when others fail to notice;
… Be a positive experience with every child you meet.

For yesterday, someone looked the other way;
Yesterday, someone pretended they did not see;
Yesterday, someone passed by without offering help;
… But today, it is not too late.

Today, you can make a difference in someone’s life;
Today, you can offer your love and guidance;
Today, you can choose to be a positive influence for another;
… And then maybe, just maybe, our world will change with you. "

They call him Prof. Mig, if I'm not mistaken, a conservatory of music professor. He's a good friend of Fr. Joe who comes to visit him often at Mercy Center to share his talent. I am always amused at how powerful his voice is, and his music--- rich with inspiring stories from countless generations. It's a nice feeling to be around with inspiring people. You tend to care less what tomorrow may bring.
