The Most Important Thing In Life

I Cannot Promise You.
I cannot promise you a life of sunshine.
I cannot promise you riches, wealth or gold.
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.
But I can promise all my heart’s devotion,
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow,
A love that’s true and ever growing,
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
( Mark Twain )

I Love You Simply.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride.
I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. 
( Pablo Neruda )

If Ever Two Were One.
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the east doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere,
That when we live no more we may live ever.
( Anne Bradstreet )

The Most Important Thing In Life.
The most important thing in life is to love someone.
The second most important thing in life is to have someone loving you.
The third most important thing is to have the first two happening at the same time.

Love Makes All Things Possible.
People may be difficult
But every person is unique.
Sick or healthy, young or aged
Smart or simple, strong or weak.
Try to bear the brunt of it with cheerfulness.
Though sorely tired, be merciful.
Love will lighten every task,
For love makes all things possible.

My Heart.
I had a heart and it was true
But now its gone from me to you.
So take good care of it as I have done
For you have two and I have none.

Love One Another.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
( Kahlil Gibran )

I Believe.
I believe in love
I believe in hard times and love winning.
I believe marriage is hard
I believe people make mistakes.
I believe people can want two things at once.
I believe people are selfish and generous at the same time.
I believe very few people want to hurt others.
I believe that you can be surprised by life
I believe in happy endings.
( Isabel Gillies )

Where There Is Love.
Where there is love the heart is light,
Where there is love the day is bright,
Where there is love there is a song
To help when things are going wrong.
Where there is love there is a smile
To make all things seem more worthwhile,
Where there is love there is quiet peace,
A tranquil place where turmoils cease.
Love changes darkness into light
And makes the heart take wingless flight.

The Priceless Things In Life.
It’s not the things that can be bought that are life’s richest treasure,
It’s just the little heart gifts that money cannot measure.
A cheerful smile, a friendly word, a sympathetic nod,
Are priceless little treasures.
They are the things that can’t be bought with silver or with gold,
For thoughtfulness and kindness and love are never sold,
They are the priceless things in life for which no one can pay,
And the giver finds rich recompense in giving them away.
Who ask no more than just the joy of helping those they love,
To find in life the happiness that they are dreaming of.
