Long Valuables

-
There is always a place for you at my table,
you never need be invited.
I'll share every crust as long as I'm able,
and I know you will be delighted.
There is always a place for you by my fire,
And though it may burn to embers,
If warmth and good cheer are your desire,
the friend of your heart remembers!
There is always a place for you by my side,
and should the years tear us apart,
I will face lonely moments more satisfied,
With a place for you in my heart!

Success is...
Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people's ways,
In doing just the best you can,
With every task and every plan,
It's silence when your speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor's curt,
It's deafness when the scandal flows,
And sympathy with others' woes,
It's loyalty when duty calls,
It's courage when disaster falls,
It's patience when the hours are long,
It's found in laughter and in song,
It's in the silent time of prayer,
In happiness and in despair,
In all of life and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.

Friends and lovers,
always one or the other.
Where are you,
my mate, to share my soul?
Did I pass you in the hall,
do you live next door?
Are you searching me,
as I do for you?
Or, are you with someone else,
forever beyond my reach?
You are out there,
this I know.
I hope when we meet,
we know...
Friends and lovers,
can be one and the other.
-Pratt, A WINTERS HEART'S HOPE

"A ROSE WITHOUT THORNS"

      Could she be the flower that I searched for all my life? My thoughts wandered for a moment as I looked into her eyes. I wanted to discover what made me so attracted to her. I hesitated for a moment, I had to make sure it was time that I took a step forward. Without thought I could choose any flower from the garden, but that way I might not care, and eventually it might die. I stood in the garden... I had to make sure I picked the one that I liked the most. I had to make sure I could care for it and watch it grow.
      I just didn't want to pick a flower on looks alone. I needed to find out if it was beautiful inside. Slowly I took a step back, admired the flower, and went on my way.
      I knew that the flower was in a place I could always find it, and If I could feel the glow of it's inner beauty I could always pick it, unless it chose to pick me.

Soul mates are
friends before they meet.
Struggle through life apart
to greet each other
from the heart.
-David Parkinson

A soulmate is someone who has the locks to fit our keys, and the keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be.
Each of us unveils the best part of one another. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person were safe in our paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

-Richard Bach

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habbits, they become Character,
Watch your character, it becomes your DESTINY.
