I have something to say

Long before the Sun came out smiling,
Began my heart quietly singing ….
Humming a line that’s too familiar,
Usual dullness giving way to cheer.
Vanishes the dew on the Rose,
All my poetry turns into prose..
Never allowing me to spare a moment,
Endless work chases me every minute.
Sure, I have thoughts to spare,
Having a circle that’s very rare,
Wishes of close friends to care.
All those who have made my day,
Remembering them all the way.
I have something to say....
I have something to say….
I have something to say…..

I Believe

A birth certificate shows that we were born; a death certificate shows that we died; pictures show that we lived! Have a seat . . . Relax. And read this slowly.

I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe - Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe - That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe - The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Hugs

It's wonderous what a hug can do,
A hug can cheer you when you're blue,
A hug can say, "I love you so ",
Or “gee I hate to see you go"

A hug is "Welcome back again!"
And great to see you! "Where've you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain
And bring a rainbow after rain.

The hug! There's just no doubt about it,
We scarcely could survive without it.
A hug delights and warms and charms.
It must be the reason God gave us arms.

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers.
Sweet for sisters and swell for brothers,
And chances are some favourite aunts,
Love them more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them, puppies love them.
Heads of state are not above them.
No need to fret about the store of'em
The more you give, the more there are of‘em

A hug can break the language barrier,
And make the dullest day seem merrier.
So stretch those arms without delay,
And give someone a hug today !!!!

Dust if you must

Remember...a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it.

A house becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture ...

I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect - 'in case someone came over'

Finally I realized one day that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun!

NOW, when people visit, I don't have to explain the 'condition' of my home .

They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun.

If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice.

Life is short.

Enjoy it!

Dust if you must,
but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake some biscuits or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need?!

Dust if you must,
but there's not much time, with beer to drink , rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.

Dust if you must,
but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.

This day will not come around, again.

Dust if you must,
but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. . .
And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

My Treasures

I look back on these years

To see how far I've come and grown,

I take a trip down memory lane,

And what I see has shown ...

That every step I've taken,

You have been there by my side ...

From infancy to adulthood,

We've stood the test of time.

You cradled me and nurtured me,

Through all these many years;

You held me and did comfort me,

Through happiness and tears.

You'd pick me up when I would fall,

You'd dust me off and then,

Encourage me to get back on

That horse and ride again.

Your constant care and loving,

And your warm inviting heart,

Has always been a treasure that

I knew would never depart.

If I could be "just half" the person

You have been to me ...

Then you have taught me well dear mom,

For in my heart I see ...

A woman whose most gentle soul,

Embraces me each day ...

A woman whom I dearly love,

Much more than words can say.
