Without you, I am a ship; alone on the sea.
Without any 'you', there isn't any 'me'.
Life is a journey, a journey to share.
With someone to love, and someone to care.
Sailing the ocean alone without dreams.
Watching the moonlight alone as it beams.
I'd be a lost, lonely, sailor,
alone on the sea.
Without any you, there isn't any me.
The Strength of a Man
The Strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.
It's seen in the width of his arms that circle you.
The Strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.
It's in the gentle words he whispers.
The Strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.
It's how good a buddy he is with his kids.
The Strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.
It's in how respected he is at home.
The Strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.
It's in how tender he touches.
The Strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest.
It's in the heart.....that lies within his chest.
The Strength of a man isn't in how many women he's loved.
It's in can he be true to one woman.
The Strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.
It's in the burdens he can carry.
Thank you for accepting me
Just the way I am;
And for not pushing me
When I’m trying as hard as I can.
Thank you for really listening
When I need someone to hear me…
And for always being there
When I need your strength near me.
Thank you for giving me space
To be the best that I can be
For caring…and sharing and most of all,
Thank you for loving me.

Be Grateful
Maybe God wants us to meet a few
wrong people before meeting
the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.
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.
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.
It's true that we don't know what we've
got until we lose it, but it's 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.
May you have enough happiness to make you
sweet, enough trails to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human, enough
hope to bring you joy.
Always put yourself in another's shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything; they just make the most
of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based
on a forgotten past, you can't get on well in
life until you let go of 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're
the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

My heart has found its home.......
ACCEPT ME
Accept me as I am I have no guarantee.
A claim to perfection I have
not. Perfect I cannot be.
I, like you.....am human. Prone
to make mistakes.
Failure is not a character flaw,
Just a part of the human makeup.
I live, I laugh and I also learn.
My knowledge is incomplete.
I am searching all the time,
in waking hours as well as sleep.
I have a long road to travel,
as well as you do.
We learn our lessons on the
way. Wisdom we shall accrue.
So please accept me as I am Because
I am .... Just me.
No one like me in the world.
That is my only guarantee.
This is how I feel I have a heart,
open it and see
Please take care That's all
I am, just me.
