how can i say?




how can i say "i will forget you"?
if everything that surrounds me reminds me of you.
how can i say "i dont want you"?
if everytime i wake up i look forward to be with you
how can i say "leave me alone"?
if everytime i think of you leaving feels me like dying
how can i say "this will be the end"?
if everyday with you seems to be forever
how can i say "i dont love you"?
if my heart beats only for youso how can i?...
how can i do all of these?
if everything for me is you...

I Can't Have You


So much love to give
So little time to spare
My heart beats so fast when I'm around you
It's just so hard not to stare
I came up to you one day
Spilling my thoughts and feelings with you
To hear that you feel the same way
Is like a dream come true
You wanted to keep things simple
I agreed with it too
From that time until now
I knew I lost you
So many stars to wish upon
Not a single wish came true
Hoping that you would soon notice
That I really like you!!
It takes some time
To feel what I'm going through
To remind myself all the time
That I can't have you.

JUDGE ME BY THE FOOTPRINTS I LEAVE BEHIND


A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam.
He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've got a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mined and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.
A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.

Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!!

There's a miracle called -Friendship- that dwells in the heart. You don't know how it happens or when it gets started. But you know the special lift It always brings and you realize that


Friendship Is God's most precious gift!

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

The World is a Puzzle



There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Everyday after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend all of his extra time playing with the little boy.

One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.

When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't play just now, but he led the little boy into the dining room, and taking out all the pieces of the map, he spread them on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.

About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished. Can we play now.?"

The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in it's place.
The man said, "That's amazing ! How did you do that ?" The boy said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."

The Legend of the Starfish


A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he drew nearer he noticed that the boy kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean.


As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water.


The man asked the boy what he was doing, the boy replied,"I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. "But", said the man, "You can't possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can't possibly make a difference." The boy smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied.


"I made a huge difference to that one!"

A Touch Never Felt


Author: Carola Dittmann McJunkin

How can you ache and crave for someone's touch
When you have never felt it?
I do this for yours, though,
And the yearning grows more each day

I have never wanted anything in my life
As much as I want you
When you whisper such sweet love
In my ear when we talk

You make me melt into a puddle
Of complete helplessness
You have become my every waking thought
And my every dream at night

I breathe in so hard
Trying to catch my breath when we can't talk
I close my eyes so tight
Hoping when I open them you will be there

But I know I have to wait
Until the time is right
It seems so far away
That I think I am losing my mind

I want to breathe in your scent
And keep it with me all day long
I want to taste your love for me
By kissing your sweet lips

I want to feel your body next to me
So when you leave for awhile
I can hold on I just want you to know
That I really do love you

When the day comes and we are together
You will always know and feel this
I will always hug, kiss and love you
Every moment of the day and night

...You will never have another touch unfelt

A Heart That Keeps


Whatever the reason is
Just let me tell you this
Nothing will change,
Everything's gonna be fine,
And bear in mind that
You will always be the best
And the special person to me
No matter what lies ahead in us.
Everything will be kept
Here in my heart always
And will never be forgotten forever...

Give A Rose

A rose is a special flower
That has its own unique power
Just one simple rose, not a pile
Can make the saddest person smile

A rose is one of God's most beautiful creations
That fills the heart with warmth and sensation
When the fragrance of a rose
Reaches the tip of your nose

It fills your heart with delight and cheer
Knowing those you love are near
Today give a rose to the one you love
The sweet smelling fragrance from heaven above

The Mystery of Love

Love is an unexplainable mystery
It sometimes brings happiness, but also leaves misery
The secret of love is hidden within us
To truly understand is forbidden, but is also a must
People use the word love in vain
And end up leaving others in pain
Love isn't just an inanimate word
It is a feeling that is as alive as a bird
We have yet to understand love
It's not as easy as learning the life of a dove
God sent His son to be sacrificed for our sin
This was an ultimate act of love for men
To make love a game is to already have lost
But you would not like to have to pay the cost
Love is in our history
That is why love is an unexplainable mystery.

Just a thought for someone special

There will come a time that you'll be able to find a lot of people to become your friends...
There will be a lot of strangers you would be able to meet...
But i guess, you can never find again the person
that you have ever met once in your life before...
With whom you have shared the best in you...
Which you have shown the truth in you...
With whom you have shared the happiness in you...
The friendship and the wonderful feelings in you...
So, whenever you have found one someday...
I'm sure that the person can never replace whatever you have shared in the past...
There will be hesitations and incompleteness on your part...
Because the memories of the past will still haunt your mind...
Especially if you are not able to completely accept the reality...
It is so hard but it's the way it has to be...
Just always think that life is full of mystery...
You must be ready to face whatever it is...

Change

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. --King W hitney, Jr.

If you think... (Walter D. Wintle)

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're out classed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

Letting Go

Do everything with a mind that lets go.

Don't accept praise or gain or anything else.

If you let go a little you will have a little peace;
if you let go a lot you will have a lot of peace;
if you let go completely you will have complete peace.

Friendly thought

having a friend is a treasure...though we never know until when will our friends hold on to us...so whenever we have a friend we should make the most of it with them so that later on whenever they will not be around, you will have some memories to count on, may it be good or bad...what matter is that you've been part of each others life, and that you shared a lot of things that can never be forgotten for the rest of your life...because friendship is like a treasure that should be kept till the end...and that is a true friendsip...you can seldom have it...so once you have it, you must keep it... - ilram

Allow Your Inner Light to Guide You



There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices. You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
