Changed Love

~ Our love has changed,
and so have we
since all those years ago
when we were young and full of dreams
and loved each other so.
But through the changes that have come,
and made us more mature,
there also is serenity,
a feeling we're secure,
in knowing that our love survives
through everything we face.
And this great love we've shared so long
could never be replaced ~

Close In Thought

~ It's difficult at such a time
To find the words that say
The things that one can only hope
Will comfort you today,
But may it help a bit to know
That there are near at hand
Those who keep you
Close in thought,
Those who understand ~

Color Of Friendship

Once upon a time
the colors of the world started to quarrel.
All claimed that they were the best;
the most important,the most useful,
the favorite.
GREEN said:
Clearly I am the most important.
I am the sign of life and of hope.
I was chosen for grass,trees and leaves.
Without me,all animals would die.
Look over the countryside and you will
see that I am in the majority.
BLUE interrupted:
You only think about the earth,but consider
the sky and the sea.It is the water that is the
basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from
the deep sea.The sky gives space and peace and
serenity.Without my peace,you would all be nothing.
YELLOW chuckled:
You are all so serious.I bring laughter,gaiety,and
warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon
is yellow,the stars are yellow.Every time you look at
a sunflower,the whole world starts to smile.
Without me there would be no fun.
ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet:
I am the color of health and strength.I may be scarce,
but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life.
I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots,
pumpkins,oranges,mangoes,and papayas.I don't hang around
all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset,
my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought
to any of you.
RED could stand it no longer, he shouted out:
I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood!
I bring fire into the blood.I am willing to fight for a cause.
I am the color of danger and of bravery. Without me, the
earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion
and of love,the red rose,the poinsettia and the poppy.
PURPLE rose up to his full height:
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp:I am the color
of royalty and power. Kings, cheifs, and bishops have always
chosen me,for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People
do not question me!They listen and obey.
Finally INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others,
but with just as much determination:Think of me.I am the color
of silence.You hardly notice me, ut without me you all become
superficial.I represent thought and reflection, twilight
and deep water.You need me for balance and contrast,
for prayer and inner peace.
So the colors went on boasting,
each convinced of his or her own superiority.
Their quarreling became louder and louder.
Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening.
Thunder rolled and boomed.Rain started to pour down relentlessly.
The colors crouched down in fear,drawing close to
one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor,rain began to speak: You foolish colors,
fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest.
Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose,
unique and different?
Join hands with one another and come to me
Doing as they were told,the colors united and joined hands.
The rain continued:
From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across
the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder
that you can all live in peace.
The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow.
And so, whenever a good rain washes the world,
and a Rainbow appears in the sky,
let us remember to appreciate one another.

Comfort

~ May it comfort you to know
that the one you love
is home with Jesus,
resting in His arms
in everlasting peace ~

Daydreams

Pillow soft clouds floating
endlessly free like dreams in my head
of the way things should be
Bright stars in the night,
brighter sun lights the day
my heart sings this song,
of a better way
Sitting quietly alone,
amongst a garden of life gazing and dreaming
upward without strife
Eternal peace within my mind,
I close my eyes and drift join me now,
lay down your thoughts,and let your spirits lift
Turn off the noise,and drift with me
pillow soft clouds floating endlessly free
Take a moment,forever now,rest your hopeful heart
secret garden of mine is yours to share,
a very special part
Listen now,quietly still,the life that fills the soul
peace my friend,pass it on now,keep it on a roll
When the day becomes hurried and far too loud,
almost too much for anyone close your eyes,
rest your mind,feel the grass,and bathe in the warmth
of the sun
Pillow soft clouds floating endlessly free
bring me back to myself,that�s where I should be.

Do Not Underminded Yourself

Do not undermine your worth by
Comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
That each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what
Other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted the things
Closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you
Still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the
Moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that
Binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
That we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by
Saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive
Love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
Is too hold it too tightly;
In addition, the best way to keep
Love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
Is to be without hope;
To be without hope
Is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
So fast that you forget
Not only where you have been,
But also where you are going.
Life is not a race,
But a journey to be savored
Each step of the way.

Dreams

I feel I can fly
Yet i fall to the ground.
With my hopes set so high
I'm always let down.
I reach for the stars*
Yet the'yre out of my range,
I can't wish to hard
My minds gotta change.
With my head in the clouds,
Empty dreams seem to be,
With my feet on the ground,
Now everythings reality.

Dreams 2

In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
vWhat though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?
By Edgar Allan Poe

DRIFTING IN DREAMS

Quietly, in the darkness, drifting in dreams,
Glittering stars chase endless moon beams
And while the moon crosses the velvet black sky,
Thoughts of you in my mind, in sleep I sigh.
Drifting away in deepening silence, the night,
Your arms steal around me, holding me tight.
vWe are so far apart, but our souls touch so near
Barely a whisper, in dreams, your gentle voice I hear.
Comes the dawn, I awaken, unfolds a new day,
I�ve been Drifting in Dreams the whole night away.
The morning sun rises, Roses kissed by the dew,
I�ve been Drifting in Dreams... just Loving You.
