Maybe…
(Another email forward)
Maybe…
We are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe…
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the new one which opened for us.
Maybe…
It is true that we don’t know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don’t know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe…
The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.
Maybe…
You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.
Maybe…
There are moments in life when you miss someone – a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child – so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Maybe…
The best kind of friend is one you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word…but when they walk away you feel as if it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.
Maybe…
You should always try to put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
Maybe…
You should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe…
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn’t, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe..
You shouldn’t go for looks; they can deceive; Don’t go for wealth; even that fades. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile
Slowly
I loved you once
You broke my heart
But it turned out
You were playing a part
Unknown to you
or me at the time
Following the path of
your subconscious mind
For years I hoped
You’d share your life
I left that door open
And kept you in sight
The silence instead
Cut to my soul
Till I accepted
My heart with a hole
But now you are here
Knocking on that door
I have to wonder
just what’s in store
I look at this face
Across from me
The man I once loved
is the person I see
A friend that I lost
To himself long ago
Is now reaching out
To say “Let’s go slow”
I’m trying to start over
To just find a way
But I don’t know how
or what to say
So bear with me now
As I think all this through
And separate memories
from the idea of you
Road woes
I need to structure my life so that I never have to drive on the roads between the hours of:
- 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
- 12 noon and 3 p.m.
- 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
