click to stop music There are three faithful friends-an old wife, an old dog ............and ready money.......Benjamin Franklin Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age,and old men's nurses............Francis Bacon A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature..............Ralph Waldo Emerson It is a wise father that knows his own child...William Shakespeare If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears however measured or far away.....Henry David Thoreau AROUND THE CORNER Around the corner I have a friend, In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. If, we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim" "Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner!- yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir--" "Jim died today." And that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend. ........................Henson Towne What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.....Aristotle Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.....John Ruskin Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of men....Benjamin Disraeli Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.....William Congreve I expect that women will be the last thing civilized by men.....George Meredith Man may work from sun to sun but a woman's work is never done....Anonymous A PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD A partnership with God is Motherhood; What strength, what purity, what self control, What love, what wisdom would belong to her Who helps God fashion an immortal soul........Author Unknown Mother love is always the most beautiful of the joys ..........................Rudyard Kipling ONLY ONE MOTHER Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky, Hundreds of shells on the shore together, Hundreds of birds that go singing by, Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather. Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn, Hundreds of bees in the purple clover, Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn, But only one mother the wide world over .........................George Cooper FATHERS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE Fathers are wonderful people too little understood And we do not sing their praises as often as we should... For, somehow, Father seems to be the man who pays the bills, While Mother binds up little hurts and nurses all our ills.... And Father struggles daily to live up to "HIS IMAGE"As protector and provider and "hero of the scrimmage" And perhaps that is the reason we sometimes get the notion That Fathers are not subject to the thing we call emotion But if you look inside Dad's heart, where no one else can see You'll find he's sentimental and as "soft" as he can be But he's too busy every day in the gruelling race of life, He leaves the sentimental stuff to his partner and his wife but Fathers are just WONDERFUL in a million different ways And they merit loving compliments, and accolades of praise For the only reason Dad aspires to fortune and success Is to make the family proud of him and to bring them happiness And like our HEAVENLY FATHER he's a guardian and a guide, Someone that we can count on to be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE ................................Helen Steiner Rice NEXT - MICHAEL'S SONG BACK HOME INDEX PAGE OHIO COOL LINKS ABOUT US Sign Guestbook View Guestbook Background by Mama SMILE GOD LOVES YOU :)
