Such a friend...

 

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend,

one human soul whom we can trust utterly,

who knows the best and the worst of us,

and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

~Charles Kingsley

May you have such a person in your life always!

Stormy are the Waters (English translation for Pokarekare)

 

Stormy are the waters
Of restless Waiapu
If you cross them, girl
They will be calmed

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

I write you my letter
I send you my ring
So your people can see
How troubled I am

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

I could die
Of love for you.

English translation: Pokarekare

"Trying to forget someone you love

is like trying to remember someone you never met"

And Have a wonderful day !

The Prophet

 

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
May wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
As the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you
So shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth
So is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses
Your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and
Shake them in their clinging to the earth.
The Prophet by Gibran Kahlil Gibran

True Love cannot be found where it does not exist,

Nor can it be hidden where it truly does.

A simple I Love You means more than money....

Pokarekare Ana (for this first week in May) so I can observe the blog silence tomorrow...

 

There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family.
Find them.
Love them.

~Mother Theresa

 

 

 

(I thank our friend Mitch for sharing this beautiful song with us)

I am flying this morning to visit my Mother and although I will be on the computer from time to time while I am there ~ I will not want to take away from my visit with her so as much time as I would like to spend with each of you (especially to make up for the time I have not this week because of work), I will only spend short visits with you, but to each and everyone of you I would like to say "May

"

Your rainbow will come smiling through...

 

The work will wait while you

show the child the rainbow,

but the rainbow won't wait

while you do the work.

~unknown

Have faith in your dreams and someday

your rainbow will come smiling through.

No Matter how your heart is grieving,

if you keep believing,

the dream that you wish will come true.

( a butterfly for my friend Laughing Dove)

I Want everyone to

The true harvest of my life...

 

The true harvest of my life is intangible ~

a little stardust caught,

a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.

~Henry David Thoreau

Don't miss all the beautiful colors

of the rainbow looking for the pot of gold!

~unknown

May God give you...

For every storm a rainbow,

for every tear a smile,

and a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,

a faithful friend to share,

for every sigh a sweet song,

and an answer for each prayer.

~Irish Blessing

Believe in...

 

Let no one who loves

be unhappy,

even love unreturned has it's

rainbow.

~James M. Barrie

Believe in love

Love your family ~ Love your friends.

Have a day filled with love.
