A poem by Brigid Cooley

When you go out and gold pan for people who are worthy of your love,

please do not be afraid if you come up short.

It is a long process; to unearth things that glitter.

Do not be discouraged when your hands are empty.

It is not failure that you see...it is learning that things of importance take time.

Understand that your boots will be muddied before you are done here;

Understand that sometimes you may have to move a little further upstream.

Though sometimes the water is murky, have faith that the dust will settle.

One day, you will find people who are priceless; people whose hearts beat in time with yours.

And if that day doesn't come fast enough, take a break long enough to look down at the sunflowers that are growing by your feet.

You are surrounded by beauty,

and isn't that the best feeling?
