Poems

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

“If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.’
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else.”

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

You

I still remember the first day we met
We were too shy to say much at all
It's funny to think back to that time
Because now we're having a ball!

They say that true friendship is rare
An adage that I believe to be true
Genuine friendship is something that I cherish
I am so lucky to have met you.

Our bond is extremely special
It is unique in its own way
We have something irreplaceable
I love you more and more each day.

We've been through so much together
In so little time we've shared
I will never forget all the moments
that you've shown me how much you cared.

Friends are forever
Especially the bond that you and I possess
I love your fun-filled personality
Somehow you never fail to impress.

The world could use more people like you
it would certainly be a better place
I love everything about you
You are someone I could never replace.

You are always there for me
When my spirits need a little lift
I cannot thank you enough for that
You are truly an extraordinary gift.

You are everything to me and more
I could never express that enough
Life is such a treacherous journey, and
Without you it would be even more tough.

Our story will continue to grow
With each passing day
Because I trust that with you by my side
Everything will always be Okay.

You are so dear to me
You know I will love you until the end
I will always be there for you, and
You will always (and forever) be my best friend.

One Perfect Rose

             A single flow’r he sent me, since we met.
             All tenderly his messenger he chose;
             Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet
             One perfect rose.

             knew the language of the floweret;
           “My fragile leaves,” it said, “his heart enclose.”
            Love long has taken for his amulet
                                       One perfect rose.

                                         Why is it no one ever sent me yet
                                         One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
                                         Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get
                                         One perfect rose.
