~Life Without Friendship
Life without friendship....
is like the dawn without the sun.
Life without friendship....
is like the sky without the moon
when the evening has begun.
Life without friendship....
is like a rose without rain.
Life without friendship....
just wouldn't be the same.
Life without friendship....
is like a ship without a sea.
life without friendship....
just could not be
without a friend like you
for me.
FROM ZOR1127, THANKS JAN
Thank you for sending me the things
to make me think, laugh or smile.
For when I am down
it makes the hurt go away
if only for a while.
That is why friends are so dear,
just because they love you.
And you always know they're there
to lend a listening ear
and to take away the blues.
It is also why I thank my God...
for the friends he sends my way
For He knows we all need some cheer
and the support each and every day.
So to my wonderful friends
I send a rose to you.
Because I know that you all
are my friends through and true.
In each of us is a special gift
for if we love one another
It can surpass so much pain and fear
And give help and love to others.
My girlfriend's daughter was murdered 6 months
ago and my friend sent this
poem out to all of her friends.
It is a beautiful poem.
LETTER FROM HEAVEN
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you...in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb,
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you, too,
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
Then you can say to God at night, "My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.
Whenever I think of our friendship
and how special and close it has
grown, I think of the help that
youve given, the wonderful
insights youve shown, I think of
the many kind favor that no one
but you would have done, of your
talent for finding the bright side
and making so many things fun
I think of the times youve stood by
me and loyally taken my part
So whenever I think of our friendship,
I feel a warm glow in my heart.
Everyday's a new creation, too lovely to ignore,
and we may find a blessing, just outside our door.
We cannot keep the past, like fireflies in a jar;
Nor journey to the future by wishing on a star.
Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift for just today.
Rejoice, my friend, embrace it before it fades away

It Only Takes One
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald the spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference
YOU SEE, IT'S UP TO YOU.
