NATURE'S WONDERS
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··: *:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··: *:
Have you ever wondered what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones blowing us a kiss?

Have you ever wondered what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch over us while we sleep?

Have you ever wondered what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our loved ones missing us?

Have you ever wondered what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones giving us a warm hug?

Have you ever wondered what makes the ocean waves come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones wanting to touch us once more?

There are so many of natures wonders and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power making sure we always remember the loved one we’ve lost and shall never forget.

YOUR SMILE
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··: *:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··: *:
Even though your body

has gone and I can no

longer touch your face.

Your smile will be with

me forever locked inside

that special place.

You have made that

journey up to heaven

and may no longer be

around.

But you are always

there in my heart, and

when i need you, you

can always be found.

You were such a special

person and your legacy

will never be forgotten.

SAND AND STONE
********************************
TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT

DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE'

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE! AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.


AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'

THE FRIEND REPLIED
'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.


BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT'

LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.


THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON,
AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM,
A DAY TO LOVE THEM,
BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.


SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.


I JUST DID.


TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!

DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!

AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. X

WITH LOVE
So many days.......
have passed me by....
I want you back....
I sit down and cry...

How do I cope...
I really don't know...
I want to fall in a heap...
But I keep on the go...

Thinking of memories...
I end up with a tear....
I know you can see me...
I feel you near....

You send me signs....
To brighten my day....
To let me know...
You are okay....

My broken heart aches....
It is oh so sore...
I think of you ...
And the tears just pour....

Well I must go..
To fight another day....
Please don't forget..
You're in my heart to stay..........

Friends are like flowers
That's how it should be
So sweet and so special
Just naturally

Writing this poem
So you know that I care
Sending a flower
With love always there

Soft and so smooth
With fragrance divine
With greatest emotion
My love is defined

Hope when you get this
You'll send it to me
Keep love just flowing
That's how it should be.

I'M HERE FOR YOU
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:

Although you wont believe it now this darkness will ease with time, the clouds will slowly drift away and again the sun will shine.
At this tough time in your life you're in my thoughts each day and if you ever need my help, you only have to say
If you want to be alone then of course I'll understand but when you feel the time is right I'll be here to lend a hand.

THESE ARE THE WORDS TO THE BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT ANDY FOUND


Simply being you - Isla Grant



For being there to comfort me when little things go wrong

For Making me discover things that you knew all along

For the tender hugs and kisses, the loving things you do

I'd like to thank you mother for simply being you.




For the times your there to wipe away my tears if they should fall

When dreams would wake me late at night you'd always hear me call

When I need someone to listen and I don't know what to do

For these times I thank you mother for simply being you.




You're the best friend I have ever known, you've shared my joys and fears

And the love that binds our hearts just seems to grow from year to year

You're my greatest inspiration and everything I do

There's no secret to the way you are, you are simply being you.

A Special Hug ((((HUG))))

·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:
I'm sending you a special hug, dont ask me why or how, I just feel that you need it so I'm sending you one now.
You may be feeling sad today for some things aren't quite right, and the cheery smile you usually wear has slipped right out of sight.
So I hope my hug will help to make your spirits soar but if you find one's not enough then I'll happily send you more.

(((((HUG))))

Light a Candle

·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:·
Light a candle for those we mourn.

Into a new life they will be born.

Do not look for them at the gravesite.

They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.

They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.

Their light and essence will always remain.

Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.

They are free to travel through time and space.

When we think of them, they are near.

When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.

When we listen to a divine symphony,

We close our eyes, their faces we see.

Light a candle for they have not really gone.

With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.
