When no one is there for you... and you think no one cares... When the whole world walks out on you... and you think you're alone, I'm here for you, When the ones you care about the most... could care less about you. when the ones you gave your heart to... throw it in your face, I'm here for you, When the people you trusted, betray you, lie to you, hurt you when the people you share all your memories withcan't even remember your birthday, I'm here for you, When all you need is someone to catch your tears, I'm here for you, When your heart hurts so bad you can't even breathe when you just want to curl up and die keep the faith because I'm here for you, After hearing that sad song.. when you start to think of memories and begin to cry.. when the tears just won't stop falling down, I'm here for you. So, you see, I'm here for you until the end this is a promise I make to you my love, my best friend. When you need me.. . I want you to know... I'm here for you. Author Unknown "A Blue Rose"~ Whose beauty the Dream Realm knows, Of no earthly manifestation, discreetly kept, Of more value unrevealed from Nature's miracle. The rare, the precious perfection, Quintessence of the Love of two. The Fair Lady with her vessel of bounty and giving, The Suitor with his Staff of enterprise and sustainment. To hold gently nurturing with tender touch, The cherished thoughts they create In fragrance and feel, Magical, from pink to violet to blue. Author Unknown "Forgiveness" One day I was asked if I would forgive By someone who had wounded my very soul. The hurtful actions had shattered my heart In the form of deceit and lies that were told. My anger lashed out with fervor and force To protect the wounds of ego and pride I could not contain the hurt I felt Nor the mournful sorrow I suffered inside. How can I forgive,am I expected to forget These appalling deeds directed at me? And if I forgive,will it happen again Just how vulnerable must I be? I could not sleep,I could not eat I carried this anger bold and brave "I had been wronged;had been deceived" The anger validation had all been saved. But I soon grew tired and weary of heart With the anger becoming a heavy load I prayed to God and humbly said, "I am hurting; please help me down this road." He said,"You must forgive . . " "Me, forgive? But it was I who was wronged!" "But my child,you are the burdened one While the other stays healthy and strong." "Forgiveness is for you,and you alone For you are the one carrying the load When you forgive,your burden will lift And you will again travel light upon the road." (I've learned that forgiveness is something we must do for ourselves when we have allowed ourselves to be hurt by another's actions.Forgiveness is a part of our healing process..not theirs;to rid ourselves of our excess baggage..the anger,the hurt and the pain.Once we forgive,our burden will be lifted and we can once again move on with our lives. Forgiveness is to acknowledge that the other person did commit an offense against us,for if they did not,we would have nothing to forgive.Too often we try to justify another's actions,therefore dismissing their offensive deeds,and as a result,forgiveness can not take place.We then bury the hurt and pain which will more than likely show up again..perhaps at a different time and in another form. Forgiveness isalso recognizing that "to forgive" does not mean "to forget".In all reality,we will never forget.Instead,we can learnto let go of the anger associated with the action we have forgiven.If possible, we can use this experience as a learning tool to prevent the same action from taking place again Written by Stinalisa StinaLisa's Home on the Web > "Chances" How often we wish for another chance to make a fresh beginning. A chance to blot out our mistakes and change failure into winning. It does not take a new day to make a brand new start, It only takes a deep desire to try with all our heart To live a little better and to always be forgiving And to add a little sunshine to the world in which we're living. So never give up in despair and think that you are through, For there's always a tomorrow and the hope of starting new. Helen Steiner Rice > "To Touch" 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 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. Unknown > "Paths Crossed" For a brief moment in our lives, Our paths crossed And in that time, you were many things to me - A friend, a counselor, a teacher, an adversary, and... I have enjoyed getting to know The person you let me see But I can see beyond...beyond the walls I can see who you would like to be. There were many times in our moment When I did not like you, But most of the time... I wanted to love you. So, now we have come to a fork On the path You are traveling one way And I,the other. I cannot see if our paths cross again, But I hope they do I hope it is somewhere in a quiet, shady, beautiful spot A place where we can be ourselves- Honestly, no barriers, no pressure, No guilt. Thank you for everything you have taught me Thank you for sharing part of your life with me I will miss you being in my life every day, But I wish you the absolute best. No matter where your path leads you from here I hope it leads you in the right direction. I hope it is filled with peace, happiness, fun, honesty, And most of all - LOVE. And I hope you know Whether your path is smooth or bumpy, straightor a little curvy, Hits a valley, or is at its highest peak - You have a friend who will be there, Just around the bend. Copyright © Bryna Blosch "Forever" In my Dreams,I still see you at night and once again,I hold you tight You are important to me,I want you to know And here I will be for I cannot go You are alone and sometimes I weep I want your happiness complete. Forgive me "Love", I want you to stay But my Love won't make you happy in any way. Can I ask one more time if you love me or will you silently turn away? Afraid to show me your feelings or do you hope for another day? If you should go and find another I will be strong but for me there's no other Be happy "My Heart", Sometimes think of me I love you so much but it was not meant to be Forever .....
