UNCOUNTED BLESSINGS Whenever we gather together, The words are not easy to find, But love speaks a common language When people have ties that bind. We don't always say what we're feeling As often as families (sisters) should; We don't count our blessings outloud, But somehow they're understood. We know that we're thankful for living With the comfort of each other's care; We're grateful for memories and stories, And the jokes that we share. We might leave a promise unspoken, But we know that we're loyal and true; We can count on companions through life, In the sunshine and shadows, too. We might show some special attention To a stranger, acquaintance, or guest, But we never forget in our hearts About those that we really love best. These blessings can never be counted Like money or gold dividends; They can only be shared as the love That exhists when families ARE FRIENDS. ~Jill Wolf
LOST TREASURE There was a place within my heart that never felt quite right, Then you came into my life and changed that overnight. It’s like finding a long lost treasure you never hoped to find, Filling up with happiness your heart, your soul, your mind. Though it makes no earthly sense, somehow you know it’s true, This person had always been the missing part of you. Destiny is something we cannot fathom or explain, But once you rendezvous with it, you never are the same. Now I guard this treasure more than silver or gold, Because this special person is a part of my very soul.
LIFE WITHOUT FRIENDSHIP Life without friendship.... is like the dawn without the sun. Life without friendship.... is like the sky without the moon when the evening has begun. Life without friendship.... is like a rose without rain. Life without friendship.... just wouldn't be the same. Life without friendship.... is like a ship without a sea. life without friendship.... just could not be without a friend like you for me. ~UNKNOWN~
It's so hard to find a friend like you, you're someone I can talk to, and always tell the truth. A friend when we're together, and a friend when we're apart, you're someone I can lean on when I've got a broken heart. You share in all my happiness, and feel for all my sorrow, you're someone that's there to tell me 'there will always be tomorrow.' It's so hard to find a friend like you, you're someone to hold my hand, you're there to guide me through. A friend to share my problems with, and talk to every day, You're someone who comforts my mind, and always knows what to say. You know me so very well, a better match we couldn't be, you're someone to realize that when I do wrong, that it's not really me. It's so hard to find a friend like you, you're someone I can't live without, I couldn't imagine what I'd do. A friend to live with until the end, a tie I couldn't sever, you're someone that I know will live within my heart forever. You are a friend to help me stand, when I've fallen to the floor, and you're someone I care so much about, a friend, and so much more. ~~unknown~~
To Touch The Heart To touch the heart of someone dear - though it might sometimes cause a tear to fall or rest upon the cheek - Should be something all should seek. For often hearts - not touched at all - start hardening and shrinking small. And then the time - it takes to grow A loving heart - is very slow. For hearts expand as those who care - extend their love and - let us share a moment, space or special phrase that eases pain on dreary days. Or simply starts our lips to smile and brightens time for just a while. The ways and kinds and means of sharing - it seems to me - Are based on caring. And though we're often worlds apart. You still can touch my very heart. You make me smile or shed a tear. And I'll remember year to year Just how your 'touching' helped me grow. And I just thought I'd tell you so. © m.garren 4-15-1988
