Real Friends Are Rare

It’s Sometimes Wise.
Like the owl, it’s sometimes wise
To look at things with two blind eyes.
Though it may be plain as day
You often find that it will pay
Not to see and not to hear
What to others may be clear.
If you cannot help or mend
It is wiser to pretend
You’re not always in the right
Nor can you always trust your sight.
This is wisdom.. Learn to know
When to come and when to go.
When to say what’s on your mind
And when to be both death and blind.

You Are Blessed.
When you walk, look up and thankful be
Even though no glint of gold you see.
You are blessed if on the Earth you tread
With nothing but the sky above your head.

The Miracle Of Birth.
The long journey of life and love
The harshness of illness and despair
The sadness of death
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is the future,
But today is magic.
Whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated,
Whatever our nationality, colour, social status, or ideology may be,
The purpose of life is to be happy.

You Can’t Do It All.
Some days are better
Some days are worse.
Look for the blessing
Instead of the curse.
Be positive, stay strong
Get enough rest
You can’t do it all
Just do your best.

A Blessing.
May love and laughter light your days
And warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours
Wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
With joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours.

We Will Never Forget.
She told our son a lie
Then she murdered our unborn grandchild.
Muscle relaxants up the bum
A sedative and then an empty tum.
A mother aborts her unborn child
She didn’t really care
The hurt inside our heart will always be there.
The unborn child’s brother, when he is told the truth
Will never forgive his mother
For killing his sister or brother.
We will never forget
It will always be on our mind
How you deliberately murdered
And deprived us of another grandchild.
The hurt inside the father
The unseen tears in his eyes
Only God knows if you were decent enough
To say a prayer goodbye.
( R S Hutchison )

There Are No Greater Gifts.
Take pride in your achievements,
Look forward to your plans
And the secret of happiness
Will be right there in your hands.
Have faith in your judgement
And in your capabilities,
For all the gifts you could receive,
There are no greater gifts than these.

Luck.
Luck is never in or out
Because there’s no such thing.
Thoughts and actions, right and wrong,
Their own reward will bring.

A Wish For You.
Whatever it takes to make you really happy.
Whatever dream you long to come true.
Whatever good things you wish most would happen.
All these I wish for you.

Real Friends Are Rare.
True friendship is a level of commitment.
It means putting up with the other’s shortcomings and oddities.
And being prepared to fight for one another.
It means mutual trust and respect.
It means sharing ideas with no thought of gain. Only of giving.
It means caring what happens to the other.
It means being unquestioning and being honest with one another
But always being supporting and never criticizing one another in public.
A friend is someone who cares about you as much as you care about them.
Real friends are fun and add joy to life.

Bring A Smile To Someone’s Face.
Things that moths and rust destroy
Are better given away.
Why store up lots of lovely stuff
Against some rainy day?
There is little enough pleasure
In this sombre world of ours,
So if some of your taste
Brings a smile to a face.
