Life


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!A crust and a corner that love makes precious,
With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us;
And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter;
And that is life!

-Paul Laurence Dunbar

A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift,

A friend is someone

Only Time Will Remain

It's unbranded and unclaimed,

Elusive and in vain.

It ebbs and it flows,

A sidelong glance
A sidelong glance,
A funny remark!
Glittering eyes
Meeting in the dark.

I Will Want To Grow Old With You

You can take me on a holiday

but I prefer to sit at home

you can buy me chocolate

Best Kinds

The best kinds of people are warm and kind.

They are always there and they never mind.
