how do i luv thee???

How Do I Love Thee?
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

If it will pass this way again....Thoughts

Thoughts
- By Michael Smith

I picked up pen and paper
Just the other day,
Thinking that maybe I had
Something important to say.

As the pen hit the paper
The thought had run away.
So then, I had another thought
This one would not escape.

So I wrote fast and furious
my thought would not abate.
For mostly when I pick up a pen
It's usually to late.
The thoughts come and go so fast
the pen cannot relate.
The verses fly into the wind
I write before it's too late.

The jumbled words fly before my eyes
I'd like to put them down on paper
Before I realize
that all the things I'd like to say are jumbled in a maze.

How to keep the thoughts all straight
I really don't know how.
I try to do my very best,
Just like now.

Sometimes the lines are funny,
Sometimes they are dear,
But always worth reading
Though often not very clear

When I talk
Of love and such,
I wonder if
it's too much.

But if it makes someone smile
I know I've done my best.
And if it makes your heart melt,
Well you know the rest.

So when the urge to write comes on
I quickly pick up a pen,
For I never really know
If it will pass this way again.

fOur Seasons

The Human Seasons - John Keats

Four seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of Man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Spring's honeyed cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness -to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook: -
He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forgo his mortal nature

My wish for u

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

FIRE AND ICE

FIRE AND ICE

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice
-Robert Frost

That's you and me

Together Forever

by Vince

Together, forever,
That's what I see.
Whenever, wherever
That's how we'll be.
Together, forever,
That's you and me

hold on to it..........

Colors Of Our Life
by Lisa Winn

Our lives are filled with color from the start,
and Red is the love that comes from our hearts.
Blue is the sadness that drips from our eyes,
but Black is the evil that makes us tell lies.

Green is the shade of jealousy and rage,
and Grey is the hair that comes with old age.
Purple is the mood most misunderstood,
but White is the color that Makes Us Feel Good.

Life is full of meaningful colors,
But Especially White.
So hold on to it tight.

Return to innocence....

Return to Innocence

Ami chant

That’s not the beginning of the end
That’s the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion
.
Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion
.
Don’t be afraid to be weak
Don’t be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
.
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don’t hide
Just believe in destiny
.
Don’t care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don’t give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
.
That’s not the beginning of the end
That’s the return to yourself
The return to innocence
.
Don’t care what people say
Follow just your own way
Follow just your own way
Don’t give up, don’t give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself don’t hide
Just believe in destiny.
