A Smile For You

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling to.

I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin,
When he smiled I realised,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realised its worth,
A single smile just like mine,
could travel the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected,
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own
Is, it mine Lord, is it mine?
You know I get so weary from the battles in this life
and many times it seems like your're the only one hope in sight
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?
When everything's dark and nothing seems right
there's nothing to win and there's and there's no need to fight
I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand
Is it mine, Lord, Is it mine?
When everything's dark and nothing seems right
You don't have to win and there's no need to fight
If only I could find a way
to feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine
So give us an answer, won't you
We know what we have to do
There must be a thousand voices trying to get through

Found this one for you Dottie,

Thank you
for giving me
the world of beauty
that i see
around me
thankyou for the butterflies
meadow flowers
and clear blue skies
and sunlight
thank you that at times i see
a world at peace
when freedom
and tranquility
surround me.
Thank you for the children's cries
of laughter
and delight in eyes
that wonder.
Thank you for the friends that care
help they freely give
and the happiness
we share
together.

Beautiful Bren, just close my eyes and drift away..........

FRIENDS

Friends are gods way of taking care of us

Friendship doubles your joys and divides your sorrows

A friend loves at all times The Bible Proverb 17:17

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart

Friends are quiet angels, who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly

"Friends create the world anew each day.
Without their loving care,
courage would not suffice to
keep hearts strong for life"

"...no friendship can cross the path of our
destiny without leaving some mark on it forever,"

...beautiful...

i love reading these, thankyou.

Our destination is shaped by our thoughts and our actions, we cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

Hows that God :twisted:

Lovely, Dottie


Bren

Somewhere, there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while,
So when you are lonely, remember its true,
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you.

The only medicine I ever needed was you :!:

One last post before I have to leave. (Really going this time, at least I should) :lol:
Dottie, think even GOD would have to say Amen to this one!
Thank you.

Struck me as interesting:

Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment, and tantalise
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child, and it saved my life
And I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said : "never never never again"
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Mine
Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
Although you're only three, sonny boy
You're - you're mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother ...
As long ... as long ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Oh ...

Amen...

A true friend is one who knows all about you and loves you as you are.

Written with a pen
Sealed with a kiss
If you are my friend,
Please answer this:-
Are we friends or are we not?
You told me once, but I forget.
So tell me know, and tell me true
So I can say, I am here for you
Of all the friends I've ever met,
Your're the ones I won't forget.
And if I die before you do,
I'll get to heaven
And wait for you.

When you love someone, all your saved wishes start coming out.

Came from friendship, but took away love.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Can anyone out there help me? I'm looking for a song/poem only know bits of it:- I think its called My Best Friend, I'm hoping to find a vocal of this somewhere on the net for a special couple, that I am putting together a cd for.

Your my sails in the wind
Your my hope and inspiration
My best Friend
your're my shelter from the storm

Could even be a hymn!

Any suggestions please pm me - thanks dottie xxxx

hope I placed this in the correct place :!:

Dottie, I believe it is a hymn, and that it's about God. I could be wrong, those are pretty commonplace lyrics. If I find out more I'll let you know.

Cheers Eyeore, had found it a few weeks ago, but computer crashed and I lost all my favourites where I had it stored. :(

Eyeore I've finally found a 29 sec. clip which is better than nothing, and its by Don Williams, I should have asked hubby, he said its a c and w song, then I suddenly knew it was Don Williams. If you find a download which is longer I would be grateful, I've looked everywhere :D

Don Williams! I can't believe I didn't realise it! Oh well, I'll have a nuzzle see if I can find a longer clip.

Thanks Eyeore, I'll keep nuzzling as well :lol:

A Wonderful Story

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.

"No" she replied. "He's out".

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a house together", they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained. "His name is Wealth," he said of his friends, and pointing to another one, "He is Success, and he is LOVE." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband about us, and decide which of us you want in your home".

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. He was overjoyed "How nice!", said. "Since that is the case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter in law was listening from the other corner of the room and jumped in with her own suggestion. "Would it not be better to invite Love into our home, then it will be filled with Love!"

"Lets us heed our daughter in laws advice", said the husband.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one is Love, please come in and be our guest".

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The others then followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success why they were coming in.

The old men replied together. "If you have invited Wealth or Success the other two if us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, everywhere he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is Wealth and Success."

My wish for you.......

Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

Thanks Dottie - that really brightened up my afternoon :D
