click to stop music THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP FRIENDSHIP is a PRICELESS GIFT that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold- For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear, And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer- It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand So when you ask God for a GIFT, be thankful if HE sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches, but the love of real true friends. .......Helen Steiner Rice Men are what their mothers made them.......Ralph Waldo Emerson THE LOVE OF A MOTHER The love of a mother is never exhausted It never changes, It never tires, It endures through all, In good repute, in bad repute, In the face of the world's condemnation, A mother's love still lives on................Washington Irving GIVE LAVISHLY! LIVE ABUNDANTLY! The more you give, the more you get- The more you laugh, the less you fret- The more you do UNSELFISHLY, The more you live ABUNDANTLY..... The more of everything you share, The more you'll always have to spare- The more you love, the more you'll find That life is good and friends are kind..... For only WHAT WE GIVE AWAY, ENRICHES US FROM DAY TO DAY.............Helen Steiner Rice THIS TOO WILL PASS AWAY 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 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 can ever disturb me or fill me with uncertain fear For as sure as Night Brings The Dawning "My Morning" is bound to appear................Helen Steiner Rice THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE> They say that man is mighty, he governs land and sea, He wields a mighty sceptre O'er lesser powers that be; But a mightier power and stronger Man from his throne has hurled For the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.................William Ross Wallace
The more of everything you share, The more you'll always have to spare- The more you love, the more you'll find That life is good and friends are kind.....
For only WHAT WE GIVE AWAY, ENRICHES US FROM DAY TO DAY.............Helen Steiner Rice
