When I will be no More

When I will be no more I will leave my address with the storm Storm that brings destruction along Storm that scared the blue bird and made the mariners lose their way in the deep sea When I will be no more I will leave my address with the cloud Dark grey clouds that on a journey to eternity The cloud that never speaks to anyone but moves on… never cares to stop When I will be no more I will leave my address with the boat man Grand old man whose sad tones even sadden the sea Rowing the boat with white hairs flying in the strong wind And you may find me when … Storm that kills also brought along the seeds for a fresh new life And when the dark cloud opens its window for the golden sunrise The sad tunes of the boatman soothes the hearts that lost everything And you may find me when there is still hope……

The Gift

If you would have it so,
I will end my singing.

If it sets your heart aflutter,
I will take away my eyes from your face.

If it suddenly startles you in your walk,
I will step aside and take another path.

If it confuses you in your flower-weaving,
I will shun your lonely garden.

If it makes the water wanton and wild,
I will not row my boat by your bank.

There is no letting go

There is no
letting go.

Even your absence
touches me.

The new moon
is not gone;
she hides
her face
in the night.

Life's too short

Life''s too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings
so park those thoughts that make you worry
and create new goals to which you''ll hurry.

Make your list of things to do
that always seemed not part of you
make yourself explore unknowns
write down your thoughts dig up those bones

Take a step toward things that scare you
Show who''s boss while mind prepares to
overcome what seems unrealistic
before you lose it and go ballistic

Do something different every day
and watch as life shows new path ways
Life''s too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings.

Memories...

Old Memories

I treasure sweet old memories
As time goes swiftly by.
A few bring smiles of happiness
And some tears to the eye.

They all are precious in their way,
Reopening doors of old
That have been shut these many years--
What pictures they unfold!

These dear old, sweet old memories
All play their special part
In bringing joy and opening up
The latch strings of the heart.

Moments to Remember

When summer turns to winter,
And the present disappears,
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years.
Though other nights,
And other days,
May find us gone our separate ways,
We will have these moments to remember.

Reminiscing

There's a place within our hearts
Where we keep our favorite memories,
The ones that never fail to make us smile ---
And when life becomes too hectic
It's such a special feeling
To close our eyes and reminisce awhile.

Lingering Joys

The tide recedes, but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers in the land,
The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains...
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

Celebrating today!!!

Live in the Present

One day at a time
this is enough.

Do not look back
and grieve over the past
for it is gone;
and do not be troubled
about the future
for it has not yet come.

Live in the present
and make it so beautiful
that it will be worth
remembering!

Look To this Day

Look to this day:
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendor of achievement
Are but experiences of time.

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;

Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
