Give a little time...
I haven't got time for the good things in life
A game with the kids or a kiss for the wife I must read the paper or finish this letter I've no time for a word that'll make things better Don't disturb me now while I'm watching the news A political hiccup counts more than your views I haven't got time to tell you I care I must get ready and tidy my hair I was far to busy to notice you cry And I was far to busy when you said goodbye Francis J Wild the original poem that I used to begin this topic................... |

Mental note* must try harder* |
Not guilty!
I love knowing what other people think especially my family! I'm the one thats always buggin them to talk or do stuff or just sit at the same table when we eat dinner! |
I'm the one people come to to talk to!,Times when i feel like an agony aunt!whenever there's a problem it's me they turn to.
Guess i'm just a good listener. can relate to poem though |
I suppose we are all guilty of it at times. Reminded me of this poem
Leisure by Wm. Hanry Davies What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. |
We've tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade icecream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when your sixteen. It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born as your old dog is put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your little brother/sister and it's alright if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he/she's scared, I hope you let him in. When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her. I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and you live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days when you catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your mum. If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying it. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books. When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy/girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole. I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it, and if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realise they are not your friend. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle. May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a football through your neighbours window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mould of you. These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointments, work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you. |
Now that's profound. . .

Quote:
thanks for sharing it with us. |
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.
Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles ..... A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself An unexpected phone call from an old friend Green stoplights on your way to work The fastest line at the grocery store A good sing-along song on the radio Your keys right where you left them They say it takes a minute to find a special person An hour to appreciate them A day to love them But an entire life to forget them |

Found this one for you Dottie
How endless the summer seems to be, Wrapped in a warmth that shields like love. Time stands still And a laziness surrounds all and everything. The world is full of so much beauty, It is beyond our comprehension. Everything lives for the sheer joy of living And light, plays and dapples and shades, Grass ,tree,stream and flower in coolness. deep inside me flows a love for God's world and all it's beauty. For the healing power of summer green. For the laughter of meadow flowers, And the dance of light and shade and gentle breeze. Love for the lazy whine of insects And birds that sing songs for the future. Love of freedom and solitude,quiet spaces of silence, That pass unseen and unloved by others. And there flows a love,for the friends, Who walk my summer pathway through life And strengthen my love for all these things, By sharing it. |
Oh Bren - This is lovely - makes me feel kinda floaty - free and happy all at the same time - thank you for this.

As I've Matured...
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do us stalk them and hope they panic and give in... I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets... I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.... I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.... I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed... I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think....... I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiam..... I've learned that it is not what you wear, it is how you take it off..... I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think your're finished..... I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.... I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back....... I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity..... I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it..... I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.... I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.... I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it...... I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity....... I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent...... |

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said. You told me not todrink, Mom So I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your adivce to me was right, The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, This girl is going to die. So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave. Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared. These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom!" So I love you and goodbye. MADD (Mothers Against Drink Drivers) |
God, that is fantastic...so profound and so ~~~~ing true

That's so moving Dottie.......really makes you think!

FAMILY - I ran into a stranger as he passed by "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too. I wasn't watching for you". We werevery polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. But a home a different story is told, how we treat uor loved ones, young and old. Later that day, cooking the evening meal. My son stood beside me very still. When I turned I nearly knocked him down. "Move out the way" I said with a frown. He walked away his little heart broken. I didn't realise how harshly I'd spoken. While I lay awake in bed, God's still voice came to me nad said "While dealing with a stranger, comon courtsey you use, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor. You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself, pink, yellow, and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes. By this time, I felt very small, and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed. "Wake up, little one, wake up" said "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" He smiled "I found them out by the tree". I picked them because there're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue." I said "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today, I shouldn't have yelled at you that way". He said "Oh Mum, that's okay. I love you anyway". I said "Son I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue". FAMILY - Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family. An unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story? Do you know what the word FAMILY means? FAMILY=(F)ather(A)nd(M)other(I)(L)ove(Y)ou |
Lovely, Dottie :D

Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.
HOw long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door your'e on. Birthdays are good for you, the more you have, the longer you live. Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open. Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the people who have to wait for them? Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us If Wal-Mart is lowering its prices every day, how come nothing is free yet? You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once. Don't cry because it's over. Smile, because it happened. We could learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colours....but they all exist nicely in the same box. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. Have an awesome day, and know that someone who thinks your're great has thought about you today! |
Dottie,
You truly are a treasure! LOVE, Mariella |
Mariella's right, you really are a treasure.
This thread really does make me think. Some of it is just...wow. And then some of it just makes me laugh. Thanks. |
Think this si the right place for this.
It is an anonymous poem that was found in the belongings of a ssoldier killed in Northern Ireland. No one knows who worte it but it ahs been around for years. It won the BBC Nation's favourite poem award but was disqualified as it was anonymous. Do not stand by my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am a diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift up-flinging rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star shine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. |
Thank you, whoever you are. And you too, Chris!

Love this poem - thanks Chris for posting this -

I envy Kevin
My brother Kevin thinks God lives under his bed. At least that's what I heard him say one night. He was praying out loud in his dark bedroom, and I stopped outside his closed door to listen. "Are you there God?" he said "Where are you? Oh I see under the bed". I giggled softly and tiptoed off to my own room. Kevin's unique perspectives are often a source of amusement. But that night something else lingered lingered after the humour. I realised for the very first time the very different world Kevin lives in. He was born 30 years ago,, mentally disabled as a result of difficulties during labour. Apart from his size (he's 6ft 2ins) there are few ways in which he is an adult. He reasons and communicates with the capabilities of a 7yr old, and he always will. He will probably always believe that God lives under his bed, that Santa Claus is the one who fills the space under our tree every Christmas and that airplanes stay up in the sky because angels carry them. I remember wondering if Kevin realises he is different. Is he ever dissatified with his monotonous life? Up before dawn each day, off to work at a workshop for the disabled, home to walk our cocker spaniel, return to eat his favourite macaroni cheese for dinner, and later to bed. The only variation in the entire scheme are laundry, when he hovers excitedly over the washing machine, like a mother with her newborn child. He does not seem dissatified. He lopes out to the bus every morning at 7.05am eager for a day of simple work. He wrings his hands excitedly while the water boils on the stove before dinner, and he stays up late twice a week to gather our dirty laundry for his next day's laundry chores. And Saturdays - oh, the bliss of Saturdays! That's the day my Dad takes Kevin to the airport to have a soft drink, watch the planes land, and speculate loudly on the destination of each passenger inside. "That one's going to Chi-car-go"Kevin shouts as he claps his hands. His anticipation is so great he can hardly sleep on Friday nights. And so goes his world of daily rituals and weekend field trips. He doesn't know what it means to be discontent. His life is simple. He will never know the entanglements of wealth, of power, and he does not care what brand of clothing he wears or what kind of food he eats. His needs have always been met, and he never worries that one day they may not be. His hands are diligent. Kevin is never so happy as when he is working. When he unloads the dishwasher or vacuums the carpet, his heart is completely in it. He does not shrink from a job when it is begun, and he does not leave a job until it is finished. But when his tasks are done, Kevin knows how to relax. He is not obsessed with work, or the work of others. His heart is pure. He still believes everyone tells the truth, promises must be kept, and when you are wrong, you apologise instead of argue. Free from pride, and unconcerned with appearance, Kevin is not afraid to cry when he is hurt, angry, or sorry. He is always transparent, always sincere. And he trusts God. Not confined by intellectual reasoning, when he comes to Christ, he comes as a child. Kevin seems to know God -to really be friends with Him in a way that is difficult for an "educated" person to grasp. God seems like his closest companion. In my moments of doubt and frustrations with my Christianty, I envy the security of Kevin has in his simple faith. It is then that I am most willing to admit that he has some divine knowledge that rises above my mortal questions. It is then I realise that perhaps he is not the one with the handicap - I am. My obligations, my fear, my pride, my circumstances - they all become disabilities when I do not trust them to Gods care. Who knows if Kevin comprehends things I can never learn? After all he has spent his whole life in that kind of innocence, praying after dark, and soaking up the goodness and love of God. And one day when the mysteries of heaven are opened, and we all amazed at how close God really is to our hearts, I'll realise that God heard simple prayers of a boy who believed that God lived under his bed. Kevin won't be surprised at all! When you read this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do |
To realise .....
To realise the value of a sister, ask someone who doesn't have one. To realise the value of ten years ask a newly divorced couple. To realise the value of four years ask a graduate. To realise the value of one year ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realise the value of one week ask an editor of a weekly newspaper To realise the value of one hour ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realise the value of one minute ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane To realise the value of one second ask a person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. To realise the value of a friend - lose one. |
This got dumped down into obscurity very quickly - valuable lessons to be learnt about humanity - just take a quick read through please

Your're my friend,
my companion, through the good times, and bad, my friend, my buddy, through happy and sad, beside me you walk, beside me you stand, beside me you listen, your're there to talk, with happiness, with smiles, with pain and tears, I know you'll be there, throughout the years! You are all good friends to me, andIam grateful to you. thought this was rather apt for all of you on the forum |
Indeed Dottie
On the same theme To My Friends Turn me with the wind I will follow. Once i did choose where i would wander Now you light my path And all else is darkness. And so i walk Where your lights shine To soften the darkness As a candle flame Softens the glow of a room Stepped in to from night. Now no matter where Your candles burn In the hollow of my heart And their light Is with me Always. Bren |
Lovely Bren -doesn't it lift your heart, flying away like a Bat out of Hell :)

Found a few quotes on friendship , thought you might like Dottie
" If you have one true friend you have more than your share" Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born " "Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light" "Wherever you are it is your own friends who make your world" " If two people who love each other let a single instant wedge itself between them, it grows- it becomes a month, a year, a century; it becomes too late" Bren |
Bren this is lovely -where'd you find it?Are there anymore?
|
Ok Dottie , some more for you
" a friend is one who walks in when others walk out" "Just thinking about a friend makes you want to do a happy dance, because a friend is someone who loves you in spite of your faults" " the best mirror is an old friend" " we cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. as in filling a vessel drop by drop there is at last a drop which makes it run over;So in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over" from a book of quotes i have , all are by famous people, mainly writers dottie Bren |

That was just beautiful Bren. Maria |
This ones for me :)
Warning by Jenny Joseph (1932-) When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, anddoesn't suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practise a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. |
Remember - Christina Rossetti (1830-94)
Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far into the silent night; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned; Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness andcorruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. |
When I was a child I read The Water Babies I think it was written by Charles Kingsley. In the story there were two characters, Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby and her siser (I think) Mrs Bedonebyasyouwoulddo. I have always tried to live life like that, treating others as I would like to be treated.

I know those two poems Dottie.
"Remember" by Christina Rossetti, is a beautiful poem and one i have always liked. and the" i shall wear purple"...don't you just love that..this one always makes me smile :lol: Bren |

Dottie - Thought those activities would be far too tame for you!!! ;)
Bren - My own personal friendship quote, not quite as deep as yours but... "A friend will bail you out of jail. A TRUE friend will sit beside you in the cell saying "MY GOD THAT WAS AWESOME" "You're my bread when I'm hungry You're my shelter from troubled winds You're my anchor in life's ocean, But most of all, You're my best friend." (not sure who sings it but is from an old country song.) |

Some snippets for you:-
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car If your're too open minded, your brains will fall out Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupity If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious It is easier to get forgiveness than permission For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good Eat well, stay fit, die any way Men are from earth, Women are from earth, Deal with it No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places Opportunities always look bigger going than coming Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it There is always one more imbecile than you counted on Experience is a wonderful thing, it enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world It ain't the jeans that make your bum look fat Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear very bright until they speak Inside every single old person is a young person wondering what happened?? - So True :!: |

Oh yes, most definitly, I have experienced every emotion there is, and still managed to stay a very spiritual person, I never ever judge anyone who doesn't believe in my ideals, we are all individuals, different in character, likes, dislikes etc., I am a happy, go lucky person, love to have conversations like this, and always have believed that anyone in this life who carries out evil deeds, will have them come back to haunt them, and that the good people amongst us will live on for ever, in peoples minds and hearts, purely because they made such a impression whilst here in the living form.

This is pretty indicative of my emotions right now.

I dunno... Under the iron bridge we kissed And although I ended up with sore lips It just wasn't like the old days anymore No, it wasn't like those days Am I still ill ? Oh ... Am I still ill ? Oh ... Does the body rule the mind Or does the mind rule the body ? I dunno... Ask me why, and I'll die Oh, ask me why, and I'll die And if you must, go to work - tomorrow Well, if I were you I really wouldn't bother For there are brighter sides to life And I should know, because I've seen them But not very often ... Under the iron bridge we kissed And although I ended up with sore lips It just wasn't like the old days anymore No, it wasn't like those days Am I still ill ? Oh ... Oh, am I still ill ? Oh ... |

Wisdom ......
Maybe God wanted us to meet the wrong people before the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.. Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had... Maybe it is true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.... Don't go for looks, they can deceive, Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find! the one that makes your heart smile..... There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick then from your dreams and hug them for real... Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.... May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong enough, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy...... The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything., they just make the most of everything that comes along their way...... Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear..... The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.... When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.... Live your life! so that when you die, you are the one smiling and everyone around is crying..... Offer these words to those people who mean something to you, those who have touched your life in one way or another, those who make you smile when you really need it, those that make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, those who you want to let them them know that you appreciate their friendship no matter the miles and time ..... And if you don't, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you. But maybe, sharing this wisdom may be just what someone needs right now...... |

I just thought of this topic when driving to the shops this morning. "Good friends there for each other, Never ever forget that I've got you and you've got me" (S club 7) |

Thanks Dottie I sometimes think my patients get more from me than the old man and the boys.

some more for you..
"Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough." My daughter brought me a book of friendship quotes this morning in it was the following; Without A Word ,Without A Sign "I love you not only for what you are, but for what i am when i am with you. "I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good. and more than any fate could have done to make me happy You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign You have done it by being yourself. perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.

All of my senses overthrown
by the might of your skin and the lamplight on your cheek bone drawing me further in no sentence I can speak for the wonder so unique breaking like a wave upon the shore mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door See how the sky is made of sapphire the colours flowing through our hands the moon is fire in your hair a million miles beyond what science understands smell that mountain heather I don't remember ever feeling like this before mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door and if every window pane should shatter if every wall should fall apart well it might hurt a bit but would it matter this diamond in my heart there's no need to nail it to the ground there's no need to smother it with sense just listen to the rhythm of your heart that pounds and trust it all to chance 'cause we're standing face to face with the Angel of grace and don't it just taste so pure mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door |
