A Different Truth
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.
“That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.
“He’s a fine looking boy” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.”
Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. “What do you say we go, Melissa?”
Melissa pleaded, “Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes.”
The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart’s content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. “Time to go now?”
Again Melissa pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.”
The man smiled and said, “OK.”
“My, you certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.
There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.
It’s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don’t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don’t understand because you don’t know enough about them.
On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are “in love” with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.
I am a rose,
you are my thorns,
clutching to me,
protecting me.
I am the sun,
you are my rays,
helping me to shine
and to be all that I can.
I am a lake,
you are my water,
filling me with ideas, dreams,
and hopes for the future.
I am a tree,
you are my leaves,
sharing who and what I am
and becoming an important part of my life.
I am a heart,
you are my beat,
beating rhythmical
For, you see,
each day I love you more,
Today more than yesterday
and less than tomorrow.
The world of dreams
Beckons me again
It’s a dream of a world
With nothing else but pain
Nothing feels right
Something is gone
I feel empty and hollow
My heart turns to stone
It is you that I miss
It’s my soul that is gone
Is this my destiny?
Forever alone?
I’m tired of wanting
I’m tired of needing
And each time I succeed
I am left dead and bleeding
Say you love me
And I’ll love you too
But I’ll never say that I do
beCause you wouldn’t love me too
Take one enchanted lady
Take one handsome gent
Then join them both together
By someone heaven sent.
Take warmth and affection
Flavour it with joy
Add love and devotion
And a bouncing baby boy.
Take a bowl of adoration
Add a dash of sympathy and concern
Add a bundle of understanding
And patience in it’s turn.
Take a pinch of determination
Give and take a little too
Add a handful of tolerance
And watch your dreams come true.
Take a bowl full of hardship
Let it bubble with affection
Add a sprig of cupids arrow
And watch with adoration.
Take a home not a house
And a family of three
Now what else can this recipe need
Oppps! How could I forget ME!
Some words :
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said:
I AM BLIND. PLEASE HELP.
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
Learn to love the people who are with you at present. Forget the people in the past and thank them for hurting you, which led you to love the people you have right now.
When you love someone, you’ll do crazy things you can’t explain, you’ll deny the truth and believe in lies. When you love someone, you sacrifice, give everything you’ve got and don’t think twice. You risk it all no matter what.
Everything in life is temporary because everything changes. That is why it takes courage to love, knowing it might end anytime…having faith will make it last.
Friends are not the one who laugh when you laugh and cry when you cry. They are the ones who make you laugh and stop you from crying.
