I just had to write to tell you
how much I love you and care for you.
Yesterday, I saw you walking
and laughing with your friends;
I hoped that soon you'd want Me
to walk along with you, too.
So, I painted you a sunset
to close your day and whispered a cool
breeze to refresh you.
I waited, you never called.
I just kept on loving you.
As I watched you fall asleep last night,
I wanted so much to touch you.
I spilled moonlight onto your face-
trickling down your cheeks
as so many tears have.
You didn't even think of Me;
I wanted so much to comfort you.
The next day I exploded a brilliant sunrise
into a glorious morning for you.
But you woke up late and rushed off to work-
you didn't even notice.
My sky became cloudy and
My tears were the rain.
I love you.
Oh, if you'd only listen.
I really love you.
I try to say it
in the quiet of the green meadow
and in the blue sky.
The wind whispers
My love throughout the treetops
and spills it into
the vibrant colors of the flowers.
I shout it to you in the thunder
of the great waterfalls
and compose love songs
for the birds to sing for you.
I warm you with the clothing of
My sunshine and perfume the
air with nature's sweet scent.
My love for you is deeper than the ocean
and greater than any need in your heart.
If you'd only realize how I care.
I died just for you.
My Dad sends His love.
I want you to meet Him.
He cares, too. Fathers are just that way.
So please call me soon.
No matter how long it takes, I'll wait
because I love you.

Your Friend,
Jesus

Hear me, four quarters of the world
- a relative I am!
Give me the strength to walk the soft earth,
a relative to all that is!
Give me the eyes to see
and the strength to understand,
that I may be like you.
With your power only can I face the winds.
(Black Elk, Oglala Sioux Holy Man)

We are all connected to everyone
and everything in the universe.
Therefore, everything one does
as an individual affects the whole.
All thoughts, words, images,
prayers, blessings, and deeds
are listened to by all that is.
(Serge Kahili King)

You gain strength, courage,
and confidence by every experience
in which you really stop to look
fear in the face.
You must do the thing
which you think you cannot do.
(Eleanor Roosevelt)

There is nothing in a caterpillar
that tells you it's going to be
a butterfly.
(Buckminster Fuller)

Mothers With Angels dividing bar

Look to this day for it is life,
the very life of life.
In its brief course lie
all the realities and truths of existence:
the joy of growth, the splendor of action,
the glory of power.
For yesterday is but a dream,
and tomorrow is only a vision,
but today, well lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
(Kalidasa)

We clasp the hands of those that go before us,
And the hands of those who come after us.
We enter the little circle of each other's arms,
And the larger circle of lovers,
Whose hands are joined in a dance,
And the larger circle of all creatures,
Passing in and out of life,
Who move also in a dance,
To a music so subtle and vast that no ear hears it
Except in fragments.

Far away there in the sunshine
are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them,
but I can look up
and see their beauty,
believe in them,
and try to follow where they lead.
(Louisa May Alcott)

Life can be found only in the present moment.
The past is gone,
the future is not yet here,
and if we do not go back to ourselves
in the present moment,
we cannot be in touch with life.
(Thich Nhat Hanh)

Mothers With Angels dividing bar

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and pleasure,
teardrops and pain;
All days can't be bright,
but it's certainly true,
There was never a cloud
the sun didn't shine through.
So just keep on smiling
whatever betide you,
And you'll find when you smile
your day will be brighter
And all your burdens
will seem so much lighter.
For each time you smile
you will find it is true
SOMEBODY,
SOMEWHERE will smile back at YOU!
And nothing on earth
can make life more worthwhile
Than the sunshine and warmth
of a BEAUTIFUL SMILE...

When I hear music, I fear no danger.
I am invulnerable.
I see no foe.
I am related to the earliest times,
and to the latest.
(Henry David Thoreau)

Mothers With Angels dividing bar

Where am I? Who am I?
How did I come to be here?
What is this thing called the world?
How did I come into the world?
Why was I not consulted?
And If I am compelled to take part in it?
Where is the director?
I want to see him.
(Soren Kierkegaard)

Nature will bear the closest inspection.
She invites us to lay our eye level
with her smallest leaf,
And take an insect view of its plain.
(Henry David Thoreau)

Animals are such agreeable friends,
they ask no questions,
they pass no criticisms.
(George Eliot)

in which we are permitted to
remain children all our lives.
