Daily inspiration

Good morning Coast to Coast Team:

As you venture into your second week of your journey, I have found a poem that I would like you to read. To give you some background on the writer, his name is Mattie J.T.Stepanek. He is a young boy with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. He has been writing poems since the age of three. His book is called " Journey Through Heartsongs" The poem is called "Prayer for a Journey"

Thank you , God
Not just for life,
But for our journey through life.
Life is a miracle,
And a journey through life
Is so full of so many more miracles
If we travel with our Heartsongs.
Thank you, God,
For blessing me with the
Gift of Heartsongs,
So that I can enjoy my miracles.

Mattie refers to Heartsongs through his poem. The heartsong is the special song inside your heart. As you go through the rest of your journey, listen to your heart and hear the songs. Love you Diane, Skylar and Brooklyn.

Keep those tires turnin'.
Love you Diane, Skylar and Brooklyn
