Bits and Pieces
People important to you and unimportant to you
Cross your life, touch it with love and carelessness
And move on.
There are people who leave you
And you breathe a sigh of relief and
Wonder why you ever came in contact with them.
There are people who leave you
And you breathe a sigh of memories and
Wonder why they had to go away and
Leave such a gaping hole.
Children leave parents, friends leave friends,
Lovers leave lovers, and acquaintances move on.
People change homes. People grow apart.
Enemies hate and move on. You think of the many
Who have moved into your hazy memory.
You look at those present and wonder.
I believe in God's master plan in life.
He moves people in and out of each others' lives
And each leaves his mark on the other.
You find you are made up of bits and pieces
Of all who have ever touched your life,
And you are more because of it
And would be less if they had not touched you.
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Forgiveness
When I bear a grudge,
wait for an apology or look
for someone to change before
I forgive, I am placing a
higher value on my pride than on
relationships with others.
- Sr. Anita Constance, S.C.
You cannot do a kindness too soon, because you never know how soon it
will be too late.
To maintain a fault known is double fault.
( John Jewel )
Kissing
A kiss is something you cannot
give without taking and cannot
take without giving.
-Anonymous-
You may conquer with the sword,
but you are conquered by a kiss.
-Daniel Heinsius (1580-1655)-
The decision to kiss for the first
time is the
most crucial in any love story. It
changes the relationship of two people
much more strongly than even the final
surrender; because this kiss
already has within it that
surrender.
-Emil Ludwig (1881-1948)-
That farewell kiss which resembles
greeting,
that last glance of love which
becomes
the sharpest pang of sorrow.
-George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans]
(1819-1880)-
The moment eternal - just that and no
more - When ecstasy's utmost we clutch
at the core
While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut,
and lips meet!
-Robert Browning (1812-1889)-
There is the kiss of welcome and
of parting, the long, lingering,
loving,
present one; the stolen, or the mutual
one;
the kiss of love, of joy, and of
sorrow;
the seal of promise and receipt of
fulfillment.
-Thomas C. Haliburotn (1796-1865)-
The sunlight claps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
-Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)-
...then I did the simplest thing in
the world.
I leaned down... and kissed him.
And the world cracked open.
-Agnes de Mille, b. 1905-
Love
I think the only thing that keeps
people truly safe and happy is
love.
I think that's where men get their
courage,
That's where countries get their
strength, That's where God grants us
His miracles.
In the absence of love there is
nothing
in this world worth fighting for.
From the movie The War
Said by Kevin Costner
To A Friend
I’d like to be the kind of friend
that you have been to me;
I’d like to be the special help
that you’ve been glad to be.
I know I’m blessed, for only God
can make a friend like you;
You know just how to cheer me up
whenever I feel blue.
Could I but have one wish
fulfilled,
this one only would be -
I’d like to be the kind of friend
you’ve always been to me.
- Author Unknown
can promise you tomorrow, but I can't buy back yesterday.
...someday you will be old enough to start
reading fairy tales again
C.S. Lewis
Speak softly and sweetly because you never know when you

Do not spoil what you have
By desiring what you have not.
Remember what you now have
is something you had once desired for.

The race is not to the swift
Or battle to the strong
Nor does food come to the wise
Or wealth to the brilliant
Or favor to the learned
But time and chance happen to them all.
( Anonymous )
Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious
But the fool is consumed by his own lips.
If you slip your foot you can recover
But if you slip your tongue you can never get it
over. ( Anonymous )

and you will understand what little chance
