That which a man willingly shares,
he keeps.
That which he selfishly keeps,
he loses.

You cannot do a kindness too soon,
for you never know how soon
it will be too late.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Drop the sword
- for there is but one flesh to wound,
and that is the one flesh of all humankind.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie



How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter
and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
cos there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against the odds and
that's what I've got to face.

I wish I could just
make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one
who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Just take a look at me now,
cos there's just an empty space

But to wait for you,
that's all I can do
and that's what I've got to face
Just take a look at me now,
cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me
is against all odds
It's a chance I've got to take.

Just take a look at me now.

Phil Collins-Take a Look at me Now






We are humans
in need of humans,
love not war,
peace not self righteousness,
kindness not hatred,
so let's all get along
under the sun,
so we can make
this a better planet.



A FRIEND I AM - TO YOU

I was beaten down by many
bruised beyond recognition
my roots remained intact though
and this tiny sprout struggled
to reach for the sky-yet I am
growing beyond the bonsai that
man tried to keep me in.

And a place I become
for birds to nest upon
tall and firmly planted,
shade, where there is heat
and a world of knowledge
God granted me
to know beyond human views
what His love is meant to be.

-Marilyn

PRAISE GOD!
