I will take you to a far off place where tears are no more
Where the past will lose it's grip and the
Future is no longer a distant shore

Acceptance.... of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune
And always remember.....
That a Life with Love will have some Thorns,
But a Life without Love will have no Roses
The Mountain
I climb a nearby mountain, until the air is cold and thin;
And seek a place where I can sit, where no other man has been.
I close my eyes, take a breath, and reach beyond my mind;
Only one answer do I seek, but cannot seem to find.
I sit here in my solitude, in this place where nothing's said,
Till the clear blue sky grows dark, and the stars are overhead.
I do not ask for riches, and I cannot tell you why;
I only seek to love, and to be loved, just once before I die.
Perhaps I ask too much, though I really don't know how;
But it is much too late to ask again, so I must go for now.
As I prepare to leave my mountain, the place I hide my fears,
I know it is that time again, to wipe away my tears.
But before I leave my secret place, where it often snows,
Just in case I'm not the only one, I leave a single rose.
-Poem by Stanley S. Thornton

In Just a Little While
For each valley there's a hilltop,
For each raindrop there is a sun;
For each twilight there's a dawning
When dark hours of night are done.
For each thistle there's a flower,
For each teardrop there's a smile;
And sorrow will give way to joy
In just a little while!
-Jon Gilbert
It took two to build a friendship
It took three to destroy it
There is but one left
Too few to rebuild it.
