(by helen farries) Friendship is someone to walk with, Someone to talk with, Someone to laugh with too. It's someone to sigh with, Someone to cry with, Someone who cares when your blue. It's someone to sing with, Welcome in the Spring with, Walk through the leaves in Fall. It's someone to dream with, Sit by a stream with, Doing just nothing at all. It's someone to share with --- every small care with, And all the bigger ones too. It's sharing together In all kinds of weather Whatever the days bring to you. |
GRANT ME The spark to imagine The daring to innovate The discipline to plan The skill to do The will to achieve The commitment to be responsible The leadership to motivate |

Watch Over You Some people come into our lives and quickly go.. Some people become friends and stay a while.. leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts... and we are ~ never~ quite the same because we have made a good friend!! Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present! I think this is special..... live and savor every moment... ...this is not a dress rehearsal! by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. - Marry the right person.

I Have Learned I've learned - that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
