Life is like a garden And friendship like a flower, That blooms and grows in beauty With the sunshine and the shower. And lovely are the blossoms That are tended with great care, By those who work unselfishly To make the place more fair. And, like the garden blossoms, Friendship's flower grows more sweet When watched and tended carefully By those we know and meet. And, if the seed of friendship Is planted deep and true And watched with understanding, Friendship's flower will bloom for you... -by Helen Steiner Rice

The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; Along the sea-sands damp and brown The traveler hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea, the sea in darkness calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls. The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls; The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveler to the shore. And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast And the days are dark and dreary. Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary...

A Friend is a word of royal tone, a friend is a poem all alone, a friend gives joys unknown and is God's grace beautifully shown ...

Whole day, I was feeling boring Nobody was there for caring ... Came out, Sun smiled at me on my way... Said, I am always there for you... Darkness, I thought, gives me relief... Because nobody can see my grief... Morning faded all the darkness... All my sorrows and worries passed... Clouds covered Sun for some time... But, still Sun came back in no-time... When I thought I really feel boring... Sun said, I am there for caring ...

ABOUT the little chambers of my heart Friends have been coming--going--many a year. The doors stand open there. Some, lightly stepping, enter; some depart. Freely they come and freely go, at will. The walls give back their laughter; all day long They fill the house with song. One door alone is shut, one chamber still. - Mary Elizabeth Coleridge

If I can endure for this minute Whatever is happening to me, No matter how heavy my heart is Or how dark the moment may be- If I can remain calm and quiet With all the world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge God loves me When everyone else seems to doubt me- If I can but keep on believing What I know in my heart to be true, That darkness will fade with the morning And that this will pass away, too- Then nothing in life can defeat me For as long as this knowledge remains I can suffer whatever is happening For I know God will break all of the chains That are binding me tight in the darkness And trying to fill me with fear- For there is no night without dawning And I know that my morning is near. ...Helen Steiner Rice

I'm not begging you to love me. I'm not really even asking you. But, isn't it alright If I cherish that hope in my heart? If I dream of just holding your hand, It will hurt me - not you. I will try to keep my eyes from shining When they see you. And I promise I will try not to smile a special smile When you say hello. but, please Don't ask me Not to love you...

Forget about the days when you've been LONELY, but don't forget the FRIENDLY SMILES you've seen... Forget about the days when it has been CLOUDY, but don't forget YOUR HOUR in the sun ... Forget about the time when you've been DEFEATED, but don't forget the VICTORIES you've own... Forget about misfortunes which you ENCOUNTERED, but don't forget the TIMES your LUCK has turned ... Forget about mistakes that you can't change NEW, but don't forget the LESSON that you've learnt ... Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right but don't forget to ALWAYS have a DREAM ... --- Life should not be a race. Let's try to make it a Journey of Love, Peace & Harmony ---

A beautiful poem by Kayla Neil on belief ... Here it goes ... I believe that the sun shines after the rain I believe if you don't get hurt you'll never gain I believe in not doing things the easy way I believe that being selfish doesn’t pay I believe in a second chance I believe in a life long romance I believe there is life after death And standing up to a life of mess I believe in love at first sight I believe that revenge isn’t right I believe that first impressions last And there is nothing better than a good laugh I believe that dreams do come true I believe there's destiny for me and you I believe that good things come to those who wait I believe love never arrives too late I believe something good comes from something bad I believe that for tears of happiness there are tears of sad I believe everyone has a guardian angel And the good you do will be rewarded well I believe sometimes there is no explanation I believe money can't buy people's affection I be...

A rose can say I love you And want you to be mine, A rose can say I thank you For being so very kind, A rose can say congratulations, Whatever the occasion may be, A rose can say I miss you And wish you were here with me, A rose can say I'm sorry If I've hurt you in any way, A rose can say get well soon, May God bless you today? A rose can say I wish you happiness, And the best for you each day. A rose can say farewell When someone goes away, A rose can say hello, I'm thinking of you today, There are just so many wonderful things That a rose can say, A rose can say goodbye When a love one is laid to rest, No matter what there is to say, A rose can say it best...

Living in my own world Didn't understand That anything can happen When you take a chance I never believed in What I couldn't see I never opened my heart To all the possibilities I know that something has changed Never felt this way And right here now ....... This could be the start Of something new ............. I never knew that it could happen Till it happened to me I didn't know it before But now it's easy to see It's the start Of something new ............ !!!

I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you have to think before you speak to me! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... my presence ever makes you feel uncomfortable! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you have to thank me for everything i do for you! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you have to say sorry for everything that you don't do! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you have to ask me for favors! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you think i would not be curious to know your new philosophy of life! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you go by what i say and do not understand what i don't say! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you think that listening to your dreams would put me to sleep! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you think that seeing you in pain, would not bring a tear to me! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you think I do not remember the first time we met! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you don't see the thousand ways I try to make you happy! I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND IF..... you don't realise how...

If at times you feel you want to cry And life seems such a trial Above the clouds theres a bright blue sky So make your tears a smile. As you travel on lifes way With its many ups and downs Remember its quite true to say One smile is worth a dozen frowns. Among the worlds expensive things A smile is very cheap And when you give a smile away, You get one back to keep. Happiness comes at times to all But sadness comes unbidden And sometimes a few tears must fall Among the laughter hidden. So when friends have sadness on their face And troubles round them piled The world will seem a better place And all because you smiled. Keep Smiling ...
