Friends

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

A Wish

I lie on the ground,
and stare into space,
the stars start to move,
into the shape of your face.

I see you there now,
looking down at me,
with that cute little smile,
that I like to see.

You say "close your eyes",
"tell me what you see",
I see only two people,
just you and me.

We're walking the shoreline,
with our feet getting wet,
the horizon turns pink,
as the sun starts to set.

We make love through the night,
on that white sandy shore,
then I hold you while thinking,
I could want nothing more.

Oh I wish I could be,
in that one special place,
as I lie on the ground,
and I stare into space...

On Children

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

You are so far away,

You are so far away,
but I can still feel you.
The essence of your being
is in everything I say and do.

The nearness of your spirit
takes my breath away.
I feel you in every beat of my heart
as I go throughout my day.

When I close my eyes,
I get such feelings of bliss.
I can see your gentle face
and feel the fire in your caress.

You tiptoe across my mind
in the gentlest ways.
You’re in the softness of a rose
and the warm wind on my face.

You’re the sunbeams from heaven
shining brightly in my soul.
A sweetness of serenity
that fills my heart with gold.

You’re always inside my mind,
even though we are far apart.
I can feel you with me always
tugging gently at my heart.
There is the sweetest devotion,

I know you love me too.
We’ll be together in spirit
and I’ll be forever loving you.

Live Act

He should have won Oscars
For every years of his lived life
His acting was so so good
No one should ever realized his act

But a lenghty play makes him tired
A lenghty play makes the audience tired
Must he stop the act and end the play?
Or wait till the last audience left?

Acting to live is not actual living
