My Thoughts

FOREVER FRIEND

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; someone who changes your life by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; someone who makes you believe that there is really good in this world. Someone who convinces you that there is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, and the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away your forever friend follows.If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be a-okay. And when you find such a friend, you'll feel happy and complete, because you need not worry. You Have A Forever Friend For Life And Forever Has No End.. Copyright © 1994-2000 Laurieann Kelly.

This poem is dedicated to all who have made my life so nice. You know who you are and what you have meant to me! If only there could always be such nice surprises behind every column!

Making A Difference

When my life has reached its very end,
And I take that final breath;
I want to know I've left behind
Some "good" before my death.
I hope that in my final hour
In all honesty I can say;
That somewhere in my lifetime,
I have brightened someone's day.
That maybe I have brought a smile
To someone else's face...
And made one moment a little sweeter
While they dwelled here in this place.
Lord. please be my reminder
and whisper softly in my ear,
To be a "giver", not a "taker",
In the time that I have left here.
Give me the strength I need
Open up my mind, my soul,
That I might show sincere compassion
And love to others before I go.
For if not a heart be touched by me,
and not a smile was left behind,
The the life that I am blessed with
Will have been a waste of time.
With all my heart, I truly hope
To leave something here on earth....
That touched another, made them smile
And gave to my life, worth.
