A Time For Us
(Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet)

I've learned 
that you cannot make someone
love you. All you can do is
be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them

I've learned

William Blake

• Songs of Innocence and Experience    

  Piping down the valleys wild,
  Piping songs of pleasant glee,
  On a cloud I saw a child,
  And he laughing said to me:

The Contents of My Desk
A nail.
A nickle.
A snail.
A pickle.
A twisted-up
slinky.
A ring for
my pinky.
A blackened
banana.
A love note
from Hannah.
My doodles
of rockets.
The lint from
my pockets.
A fork-like
utensil.
But sorry...
no pencil.

  Don't Ever 

Don't ever take the weight of
the world on your shoulders.

Don't ever feel threatened by the
 future take life one day at a time.
Don't ever feel guilty about the past
what's done is done. Learn from any
mistakes you might have made.

Don't ever feel that you are alone
there is always somebody there for
you to reach out to.

Don't ever forget that you can achieve
  so many of the things you can imagine.
It's not as hard as it seems.

Don't ever stop loving
Don't ever stop believing,
 Don't ever stop dreaming your dreams.


 

      Dear God...
 

I know you're watching over me
And I'm feeling truly blest
For no matter what I pray for
You always know what's best!

          I have this circle of E-mail friends,
Who mean a lot to me;
Some days I "send" and "send,"
At other times, I let them be.

             I am so blessed to have these friends,
With whom I've grown so close;
So this little poem I dedicate to them,
Because to me they are the "Most"!

              I see each name download,
And view the message they've sent;
I know they've thought of me that day,
And "well wishes" were their intent.

                So to you, my friends, I would like to say,
Thank you for being a part;
Of all my daily contacts,
This comes right from my heart.

          God bless you all is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you "friend";
I pray God will keep you safe,
Until we write again.

White Christmas

By Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

just like the one I used to know,

where the treetops glisten

and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

with every Christmas card I write.

May your days be merry and bright,

and may all your Christmases be white.

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

 So you would like to interview me? God asked.

گفتم ....اگر وقت داشته باشيد....

لبخندي زد و گفت: زمان براي من تا بي نهايت ادامه دارد

چه پرسشي در ذهن تو براي من هست؟

What surprises you most about humankind?

پرسيدم: چه چيزي در رفتار انسان ها هست که شما را شگفت زده  مي کند؟

پاسخ داد:

آدم ها از بچه بودن خسته مي شوند ...

عجله دارند بزرگ شوند و سپس.....

آرزو دارند دوباره به دوران کودکي باز گردند

That they lose their health to make money...

سلامتي خود را در راه کسب ثروت از دست مي دهند

و سپس ثروت خود را در راه کسب سلامتي دوباره از صرف مي کنند....

 That by thinking anxiously about the future,

چنان با هيجان به آينده فکر مي کنند.

که از حال غافل مي شوند

به طوري که نه در حال زندگي مي کنند نه در آينده 

 "That they live as if they will never die,

آن ها طوري زندگي مي کنند.،انگار هيچ وقت نمي ميرند

و جوري مي ميرند ....انگار هيچ وقت زنده نبودند 

سپس من پرسيدم..

مانند يک پدر کدام درس زندگي را مايل هستي که فرزندانت بياموزند؟ 

پاسخ داد:ياد بگيرند که نميتوانند ديگران را مجبور کنند که دوستشان داشته باشند

ولي مي توانند

طوري رفتار کنند که مورد عشق و علاقه ديگران باشند

ياد بگيرند که خود را با ديگران مقايسه نکنند

ياد بگيرند ...ديگران را ببخشند با عادت کردن به بخشندگي

ولي سال ها طول مي کشد تا آن جراحت را التيام بخشيد

 ياد بگيرند يک انسان ثروتمند کسي نيست که دارايي زيادي دارد

To learn that there are people who love them dearly,

ياد بگيرند کساني هستند که آن ها را از صميم قلب دوست دارند

ولي نميدانند چگونه احساس خود را بروز دهند

ياد بگيرند وبدانند ..دونفر مي توانند  به يک چيز نگاه کنند

ياد بگيرند کافي نيست که تنها ديگران را ببخشند

بلکه انسان ها بايد قادر به بخشش و عفو خود نيز باشند

سپس من از خدا تشکر کردم و گفتم

آيا چيز ديگري هم وجود دارد  که مايل باشي فرزندانت بدانند؟

 God smiled and said,Just know that I am here... always. 

خداوند لبخندي زد و پاسخ داد: فقط اين که بدانند من اين جا و با آن ها هستم..........براي هميشه

 

 

My heart does sing,

Of the joys we share.

How I treasure each moment,

When you are near

 

 

 So this morning I'll tell you.

Like so many before.

As each day passes,

I love you more!

 

Good Morning!
 

Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy.
Why lovest thou that which thou receivest not gladly,
Or else receivest with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear.
Mark how one string, sweet husband to another,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering,
Resembling sire and child and happy mother
Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
    Whose speechless song, being many, seeming one,
    Sings this to thee: 'thou single wilt prove none.'

When Larry Made Lasagna

When Larry made lasagna
all his neighbors stopped and stared.
His lasagna was the largest
that had ever been prepared.

He used ninety yards of pasta
and a half a ton of cheese,
and the sauce, he spread with spatulas
that looked a lot like skis.

With a hundred pounds of vegetables
and wagon-loads of meat
plus a tiny sprig of parsley
his lasagna was complete.

So he lifted that lasagna
with a forklift and a crane
and he placed it in an oven
that was longer than a train.

For a week, while it was baking,
its aroma filled the town,
till he took it from the oven
piping hot and golden brown.

All the neighbors came and tasted it
but frowned at him, and then
they complained, "It needs a bit more salt.
You'll have to start again."

--Kenn Nesbitt

 



 

Don't be so busy adding up your troubles
that you forget to count your blessings.





The smallest deed done is
greater than the best of intentions.





Love is a language that can be heard
by the deaf and seen by the blind.




A house is made of wooden beams.
A home is made of love and dreams.




To be a good friend open your ears
and heart more often than your mouth.




People don't care how much you know
until they know how much you care.



Have A Beautiful Day
God Bless You My Friend

I Bought a Pet Tomato

I bought a pet tomato
and I tried to teach him tricks,
but he wasn't any good at
catching balls or fetching sticks.

He could never catch a Frisbee,
and he wouldn't sit or speak,
though we practiced every afternoon
and evening for a week.

He refused to shake or wave or crawl
or beg or take a bow,
and I tried, but couldn't make him bark
or get him to meow.

He was terrible at playing dead.
He couldn't jump a rope.
When he wouldn't do a single trick
I simply gave up hope.

Though I liked my pet tomato,
I returned him with regret.
Boy, I sure do hope this watermelon
makes a better pet.

"Can I play?"
by Richard Graham

با سلام نظر به درخواست تعدادی از دانش آموزان آواز ABC را برای شما لینک گذاشتم.

 You are the candle , love's the flame

A fire that burns thrugh wind and rain

Shine your light on this heart of mine

Til the end of time

You came to me like tha dawn through the night

Just shining like the sun

Out of my dreams and into my life

You are the One , you are the One

( I : ) Said I loved you but i lied

Cause this is more than love i feel inside

( I : ) Said I loved you but I was wrong

Cause loved could neverever feel so strong

( I : ) Said I loved you but I lied

With all my soul I've tried in vain

How can mere words my heart explain

This taste of heaven so deep so true

I've found in you

So many reasons in so many ways

My life has just begun

Need you forever , I need you to stay

You are the One , you are the one

( I : ) Said i loved you but I lied

Cause this is more than love I feel inside

( I : ) Said I loved you but I was wrong

Cause loved could neverever feel so strong

( I : ) Said I loved you but I lied

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too If you can wait and not be tired by waiting Or being lied about don't deal in lies Or being hated don't give way to hating And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise. If you can dream and not make dreams your master If you can think and not make thoughts your aim If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools Or watch the things you gave your life to broken And stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss And lose and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the will which says to you hold on. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch If neither foes nor loving friends may hurt you If all men count with you but none too much If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run Yours is the earth and everything that's in it And which is more - you'll be a man my son.

Easter Day

The silver trumpets rang across the Dome:
The people knelt upon the ground with awe:
And borne upon the necks of men I saw,
Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.
Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,
And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,
Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:
In splendour and in light the Pope passed home.
My heart stole back across wide wastes of years
To One who wandered by a lonely sea,
And sought in vain for any place of rest:
'Foxes have holes, and every bird its nest.
I, only I, must wander wearily,
And bruise my feet, and drink wine salt with tears.'

عشق ابدی

Unending Love




تنها از پسِ سال ها

Only through the years

صبوری و همدردی

Of patience and sharing

Before love, that jolting lilt
East of roses, in perturbed darkness,
Missing the eternal circumstance,
Yearning still, again, for that exploratory tilt …
Vainly would I fly into your heart
Afire, burning, consumed, expended.
Love is not an ending; nor does it end
Easily: becomes pith, becomes seed, starts
Needing, kneading, mid-desperation,
The long climb out of loneliness, turning
In hope, in anguish, in foolish expectation.
No two are joined except in painful learning:
Each frightened lesion closed for restoration.

A poem from a mother to a daughter
by Tiffany Lynn Marcotte


My days seem endless
without you here by my side.
When you were taken away so suddenly,
I had to stop... and I cried!

Everyday at three o'clock, the bus rides by our house.
I am waiting for the front door
to fly wide open and get a kiss and a hug from you,
but that never happens anymore.

Everything we shared, all the moments where we cared
were taken away so suddenly- we had a bond that will never break,
and when God took you away...
he made a big mistake.

He took the wrong sweet girl.
I miss you every second of the day
and when I want to see you,
I have to bow my head and pray.

I pray for a sense of peace,
and I pray for a better day,
but right now it seems like that
better day will never come again.

I try to be stong for everyone,
but that just can't be done.
I am still grieving, and I am stunned.

I wish we could be together, but in some ways we are,
like in our minds and in our hearts.
As I look at your picture I have to ask why,
you were only sixteen years old, not willing to die.

You had your whole life ahead of you,
planning your future out,
I will be by your side forever
I've never missed a day.

Although your life has ended,
my love for you
will never grow short,
it's here to stay.

When something like this happens
lives are changed forever,
but I know, in my heart, we will always be together.
I miss you, my angel!

YANKEE DOODLE
Yankee Doodle went to town,
Riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat,
And called him Macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding,
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
