Don't Lose Hope...
If spring follows
winter,
if a rainbow follows
the storm,
if morning follows
the night,
then happiness must
follow sorrow.
Don't lose hope.
Things will get better!
Bobette Bryan
groen, de aarde is zo groen als gras
ze is gemaakt voor ons allemaal
wij weten dat ze eeuwig is
in je dromen doe je mee
veel veranderd elke dag voor haar
net als wij veranderen
maar wat altijd blijven zal
is de eeuwige aarde
de bloemen die vrolijk bloeien
op de aarde zijn ze vrij
zo vrij als een vogel in de lucht
zie de adem van de aarde
kijk omhoog en span je regenboog
om de aarde te omringen
heb haar lief, zoals je naasten
omarm haar, verwarm haar
door er te zijn, door te leven
elkander om van te houden
dieren om te knuffelen
dat is wat zij geeft, aan jou...

Soft as a summer breeze
You came to me this way
Always there my special friend
Forever and a day
Heart that's pure and gentle
Kindness that endures
All these special qualities
Within this life assures
Heart will have a special song
Whenever you walk by
Knowing we were destined for
Life's friendship ~ you and I
Times when we are lonely
Or even when we're blue
Next to me you'll always be
Strength that will come through

Days in life go swiftly
Yet moments we shall save
For all the many things we share
These roads in life we'll pave
Grateful for this blessing
Within this life we share
You beside me always
The joy in life I wear

Angel on Earth...
If you put others
before yourself,
and do more than
what's required,
and always have
a kind word to lend,
and never lie,
cheat, or steal,
and love your neighbor,
and assist the helpless
whenever you can,
and have mercy
for those who suffer,
and have faith in God,
and love yourself,
with a firm belief
that you're part of God...
then you're truly
an angel on Earth.
I believe that you have
all of these qualities,
and to me, you're truly
an angel on earth.
You'll always be
dear to my heart.

Every night when I close my eyes,
I drift to sweet dreams of you.
I imagine the taste of your lips,
the feel of your hands in mine,
and the softness of your hair
brushing against my cheek...
and suddenly I'm strong yet weak
from my need for you.
And when you hold me close,
and look into my eyes
as you whisper how much you love me,
I'm carried gently to the clouds.
Your love makes me feel
so alive and proud
of the person I am
when I'm with you.
Yet when the stars fade
as dawn breaks,
you kiss me goodbye at the door,
and I awake needing you even more
than I did the day before.
I'm missing you badly,
and I wish you were here.
But though you're far away,
in my heart you'll stay.
I'll never quit wishing
that you were here beside me,
but until that day,
I've only to dream about you,
and I escape to that place
in my heart,
where we're never apart.
