One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
DON'T QUIT.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
TWO SNOWFLAKES
Two snowflakes met within a cloud
In mists of winter's space
He, a flake of icy white
And she, a star of lace
The cloud was heavy, winds were strong
In dark mid-winter night
Then both held hands and tried to
Stay together in the flight
Then tumbling down they lost their grip
He kept in sight her face
He said, I'll find you on the ground,
My crystal star of lace
In dawning hour the sun arose
The flake looked near and far
Rising with each whispering wisp
To find his crystal star
And there she was, lit by the sun
So delicate and clear
Among the millions, only one
He wanted to be near
Then children came outside to play
To build a man of snow
She said this is the end for us
For I have got to go
They wrapped her in a ball of snow
Which then became a face
She sparkled in the morning light
This crystal star of lace
He too was packed into the cheek
And both remained for days
She said what will become of us
In sun's now warming rays
He said the sun will melt us both
And to the ground we'll fall
But I will not forget your face,
The brightest star of all
I'll follow you to nearby streams
And into rivers flow
I'll follow you into the sea
Wherever you may go
One day we'll rise together in
the haze of summer heat
And somewhere in a cloud of white
The two of us will meet
The winds will send us onward
To the place of winter storm
You'll form into a crystal star
With frozen heart so warm
Above the January earth
In gatherings of mist
I'll find you there, my star of lace
Just waiting to be kissed

MY DEAR MOTHER
To one who bears the sweetest name
and adds a lustre to the same.
who shares my joys when I am glad.
To one who cheers, when I am sad.
The greatest friend I ever had.
Long life to her for there's no other.
Can take the place of my dear Mother.
GOD
grant me the
SERENITY
to accept the things i
cannot change...
COURAGE
to change the things i can
and the
WISDOM
to know the difference.
SOMETIMES WE ALL NEED A PLACE
WHERE WE CAN BE AT PEACE WITH
OURSELVES AND OUR SURRONDINGS.
A PLACE TO CALL OUR OWN
WHERE THE PHONE DOESN'T RING
AND YOU CAN CHOOSE THE PEOPLE
WHO ACCOMPANY YOU.
THIS IS "MY SPACE", PLEASE
ENJOY YOUR VISIT HERE
ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU LEAVE
THE DRAMA AND DECEPTIONS ELSEWHERE.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE WASTED
BICKERING ABOUT THINGS
THAT REALLY DON'T MATTER.
Stand up for what you believe is right,
Even if you're standing alone!!!!
LOVE ME!
I KNOW YOU LOVE ME
YOU'VE TOLD ME,
BUT I NEED YOU TO SHOW IT
SO JUST HOLD ME.
HOLD ME CLOSE
AND STROKE MY HAIR,
SAY KIND WORDS
TO SHOW YOU CARE.
BE GENTLE BY NATURE
BE GENTLE BY TOUCH,
BY THAT I WILL KNOW
YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH.

....INVISIBLE PAIN....
It's late at night
and the whole world sleeps,
but not a chance for her
she sits alone and weeps.
They're oblivious to
her feelings inside,
so the hurt and pain
she has to hide.
Would they care
if they had known?
how could they?
it's her problem alone.
So, alone she will stand
as always before,
hiding the tears and pain
that she's, so long bore.
ONY
....ESCAPE....
How would you feel
if you, heard me say,
i needed to escape
but to where, who can say?
Sometimes the urge
inside me's so strong,
to just up and leave
and be, long gone.
Just to keep walking
with no place to go,
has to be better
than the place i now know.

....MY BABY....
MY BABY'S NO LONGER A BABY
HE'S GROWN INTO A LOVELY YOUNG MAN,
BUT BEING HIS MUM, I'LL CONTINUE
TO HELP HIM WHENEVER I CAN.
MY BABY'S NO LONGER A BABY
HE'S GROWN UP SO BIG AND STRONG,
STILL I'LL BE THERE TO CATCH HIM
IF HE FALLS AND THINGS GO WRONG.
MY BABY'S NO LONGER A BABY
HE'S ALL GROWN AND STANDS OUT IN A CROWD,
HE'S FUNNY, HE'S HANDSOME, HE'S DECENT
AND HE'S MADE HIS MUM SO PROUD.
ONY
SOUL MATE
You're on my mind
both day and night,
when my world's dark
you are my light.
The longing to be in your arms
is out of my control,
you're in my every thought
you rule my very soul.
Let me feel your hreartbeat
as you hold me close,
where will this all lead?
the answer, no one knows.
I long to feel your breath
tingling on my skin,
both loving one another
from the outside in.
Let me take in every detail
let me savour the smell, of you,
i long to feel your tenderness
and make love the whole night through.
We'll wake up in each other's arms
cherishing every moment spent,
finally feeling so complete,
fulfilled and so content.
The bond will be unbreakable
and together we can roam,
knowing so long as we have each other
any place is home.
