  LOVE Love, they say is patient, Love, they say is kind It sees beyond the faults, For love, they say, is blind. Love does not diminish Or rust and fade with years But gains its strength from time Laughter, joy and tears. Love is God's own gift to us A present from above He gives us peace, He gives us joy, But first he gives us love. - Author Unknown - SLOW DANCE Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round Or listened to the rain slapping the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight Or gazed at the sun in the fading night? You better slow down Don't dance so fast Time is short The music won't last Do you run through each day on the fly When you ask, "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast Time is short, the music won't last Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast Time is short The music won't last When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away... Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over. - Author Unknown - WHEN WE SHARE When we share laughter, There's twice the fun; When we share success, We surpass what we've done. When we share problems, There's half the pain; When we share tears, A rainbow follows rain. When we share dreams, They become more real; When we share secrets, It's our hearts we reveal. If we share a smile, Then our love shows; If we share a hug, Then our love grows. If we share with someone On whom we depend, That person becomes Family or friend. And what draws us closer And makes us all care, Is not what we have, But the things that we share. Copyright © Jill Wolf, 1999 TIME TO BELIEVE To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds, To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart, The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love. To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us. When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again. To believe is to know we are not alone, That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it. To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, And all our hopes and dreams are within reach. If only we believe. - Author unknown - WE CAN We cannot hold a moonbeam in our hands, We cannot string dew-pearls in shining strands, Though far we reach the stars we cannot clasp, And the glowing rainbow eludes our grasp. But we can love and give freely from the heart, kindness, tolerance, and joy we can impart, And following God's ways we can possess The Greatest of Treasures, True Happiness. Copyright © Luvia Taylor, 1999 DON'T LOOK BACK As you travel through life there are always those times when decisions just have to be made when the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak your parade! There are some situations where all you can do is to simply let go and move on gather courage together and choose a direction that carries you toward a new dawn. So pack up your troubles and take a step forward the process of change can be tough but think about all the excitement ahead if you can be stalwart enough! There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting around the next bend and wishes and dreams just about to come true in ways you can't yet comprehend! Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new interests as you challenge your status quo and learn there are so many options in life, and so many ways you can grow. Perhaps you'll go places you never expected and see things that you've never seen or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between! Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring- a "somebody special" who's there to help you stayed centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share. Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends are supportive of all that you do and believe that whatever decisions you make, they'll be the right choices for you! So keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking your life day by day. ~Author Unknown TRUE FRIENDS Throughout life you meet many friends Who seem to come and go The true meaning of friendship They’ll seem to never know Until I met each one of you I never knew true happiness You bring a feeling inside That words cannot express Though we all have our bad times We know we’ll make it through We can always go to each other When we don’t know what to do Whether it’s a shoulder to cry on Or just someone to talk to No matter what the situation I’ll be there for you You’re all such good friends to me I hold you all so dear You’re just the people I love to have near I guess what I’m trying to say is Thank you all very much For showing me a brighter day I love you all so much! Copyright © AliciaJoyR@aol.com, 1999 http://maxpages.com/alicatsdomain SURRENDER UNTO ME Surrender unto me your dreams, That I might hold them aloft in the sun, Surrender unto me your fears, That I might cast them aside, And you may see the world in truest light. Surrender unto me, Your hopes and desires, And I shall make them come true, For mine is the power of love. Surrender unto me your soul, That I may gather its force and return it, Glowing all the brighter, With a new found inner light. Surrender unto me your love, That I may return it ten thousand times, And surrender mine unto you, Surrender unto me, All that you are, And I shall surrender the same unto you... Copyright © Cybersting@aol.com, 1997 AIN'T IT FUNNY I learned to laugh inside of my tears I learned to be human, in my most wretched years I learned to feel, when I wasn't being touched I learned to give, when I didn't have much I learned to be warm, when I was cold Living real humbly, I learned to be bold I learned to live, when I thought it better to die I learned to laugh, when all I could do was cry I learned from below, what it's like up above While I was hated, I learned how to love It is on the move that I learned how to rest While at my worst, I learned my best I learned about God, when it seemed I was damned It is when I was lost, that I learned that I am I learned to be rich, when I had no money These things seem serious, but ain't it funny - Written Anonymously by a homeless poet in Manhattan - HOW YOU LIVE You don't have to tell how you live each day, You don't have to say if you work or play A tried, true barometer serves in the place However you live, will show in your face. The false and deceit that you bear in your heart Will not stay inside where it first got a start For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace- What you wear in your heart-you wear in your face If your life is unselfish, if for others you live For not what you get, but how much you can give If you live close to God in His infinite grace- You don't have to tell it, it shows in your face - Author Unknown - I BELIEVE I believe in miracles and dreams that will come true. I believe in tender moments and friendship, through and through. I believe in stardust and moonbeams all aglow. I believe there's magic and more there than we know. I believe in reaching out and touching from the heart. I believe that if we touch a gift we can impart. I believe that if you cry your tears are not in vain. And when you're sad and lonely, others know your pain. I believe that when we laugh a sparkle starts to shine. And I just know that spark will spread from more hearts than just mine. I believe that hidden in the quiet of the night, there are magic moths and gypsies, a fairy and a sprite. I believe that if you dance the dances of your heart, that greater happiness will find a brand new way to start. I believe the gifts you have are there for you to share And when you give then from the heart, the whole world knows you care I believe that if you give, even just to one, that gift will grow in magnitude before the day is done. I believe that comfort comes from giving part of me. And if I share with others, there's more for all to see. I believe that love is still the greatest gift of all and when it's given from the heart then not one of us will fall. - Author Unknown - DARE TO DREAM Let nothing hold you back from exploring your wildest fantasies, wishes, and aspirations. Don't be afraid to dream big and to follow your dreams wherever they may lead you. Open your eyes to their beauty; Open your mind to their magic; open your heart to their possibilities. Whether they are in color or in black and white, Whether they are big or small, easily attainable or almost impossible, look to your dreams, and make them become reality. Wishes and hopes are nothing until you take the first step towards making them something! Because only by dreaming will you ever discover who you are, what you want, and what you can do. Don't be afraid to take risks, to become involved, to make a commitment. Do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true. Always believe in miracles, and always believe in you! - Author Unknown - MY GET-UP AND GO HAS GOT UP AND WENT How do I know that my youth is all spent? My get-up and go has got-up and went But in spite of it all I am able to grin When I think of where my get-up has been! Old age is golden, so I have heard said Yet I sometimes wonder when I get out of bed With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup My eyes on the table, until I wake up. As sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself Is there anything else I should have laid on the shelf? But I am happy to say as I close my door My friends are the same, perhaps even more. When I was young my slippers were red I would kick my heels, right over my head. As I grew older my slippers were blue Still I could dance the whole evening through. Now I am older, my slippers are black, I walk to the store, and puff my way back! The reason I know my youth is all spent, My get-up and go has got-up and went But I really don't mind when I think with a grin Of all the grand places my get-up has been. Since I have retired from life's competition I busy myself with life's repetition. I get up each morning and dust off my wits Pick up the paper and read the Obits If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead. So I eat a good breakfast And go back to bed! - Author Unknown - Poetry!
