Desiderata" Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace
there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms
with all people. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to all even to
the dull and ignorant ; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive
people, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others you
will become vain and bitter; there will always be greater and lesser persons
than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in
your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is
full of trickery. But let not this blind you to the virtue there is; many
persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be
yourself especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; in
the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take
kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not
distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and
loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself. You are a
child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have the right
to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is
unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive
Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of
life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. "Footprints" One night a man had a
dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky
flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints
in the sand, one belonging to him, and the other belonging to the Lord. When the
last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in
the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only
one set of footprints. He noticed that it happened at the very lowest and
saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord
about it. Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You, You’d walk with me
all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my
life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed
you most, you would leave me. The Lord replied "My son. My precious child,
I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

"Heaven" Everyday, As sure as the rising of the sun, I know that you,
Are always near to my heart, Together we are "One". A gentle smile
upon my face, As I think of when we met. A nicer memory, Would be impossible to
get. Until the next time, When we get together, Remember what we have: The smile
that lasts forever. A slice of heaven in my heart. "Ideals" "
Ideals are like stars, You will not succeed in touching them with your hands.
But like the seafaring men on the desert of waters, You choose them as your
guides, And following them you will reach your destiny." "Enough of an
Artist" " I am enough of an artist To draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination
encircles the world." — Albert Einstein — "Life’s Richest
Treasure" I hold in my hands a box of gold, With a secret inside, that no
one else knows. The box is priceless, But its easy to see, The treasure inside
Is far more precious to me. Today I share This treasure with thee, It is the
treasure of friendship, You’ve given to me. "It’s allright" "It’s
all right"…Dry your eyes and cry no more. Your dreams await on nearing
shores. A hand extends from someone near, To cast away your doubts and fears.
It’s time to start a life anew, With changes for the both of us. Cling not to
the things you’ve had, Reminders of a time so sad. So rise about the mire and
silt, and free yourself of fear and guilt. Question not the things unknown, Just
please accept the love you’re shown. Trust in things you can not see, and maybe
you’ll believe in me. So now before you here I stand. Just make a wish and take
my hand. "Life’s true harvest" " The true harvest of my daily
life is somewhat as intangible, and indescribable as the tints of morning or
evening. It is a little star-dust caught, A segment of the rainbow which I have
clutched." ——–Henry David Thoreau——– "Lost in Love"
Lost In Love..(With You)…. At times it seems like a fantasy, the love we
share, you and me. I lay awake at night thinking of you, and where our love will
bring us to. I strongly know and believe in my heart, that no matter what, we
will never be apart. Our love grows stronger with every day, and even after we
fight, it never fades away. It’s so rare and special, the bond that keeps us
bound, the love that we have found. With every day our love is new, and this is
my way of saying I Love You. "M" is for Mother" M ….. is for
