"When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand
where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.
But, when someone does something good for us,
we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone


Dear god, i wonder what you'd say,
if i actually talked to you today
would it really matter the words upon this page,
can you feel my rage
to some you give everything, make their life a dream,
even though not worthy, it would seem
for others you make sorrow the pillow where they sleep,
seldom one good thing allowing them to keep
how do you decide who gets happiness, fortune and fame,
and to others give only days of rain
what of dark and evil ones who live many years
only bringing others tears
why would you take the one ive looked for all my life
the one who would have called me wife
a kind and gentle soul you tormented many days
in a myriad of ways
so if a question i could ask, that you would answer true
how can you do the things you do
so connected, so in love, such a rare and precious man
we had a future and a plan
only months of bliss did you allow, then to watch him die
so god heres my question, WHY?
Samantha Lucia Eastty-Dade


The sun it shines and warms my skin
but doesnt reach the depths
to thaw the cold and hollow core
frozen since your death

i see the poeple living life
i watch the wind as it blows
but the blackness in my heart and soul
consumes though no one knows

While every flower has a wonderful story to tell, the rose stands alone
in its abundant history and meaning. Used for hundreds of years to
convey messages without words, roses have long been a symbol of
confidentiality —the Latin expression sub rosa (literally "under the rose")
means something told in secret

The ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion,
the red rose also conveys respect and the creative spirit of love.
Representing true love as stronger than lifes thorns,
the red rose is known universally as the lover’s rose.

The rose is also a symbol of achievement, completion and perfection:
after having met the long stems with the thorns you are rewarded
with a flower of great beauty and mesmerizing fragrance.

In esoteric terms: after having overcome the tests and difficulties
of life you will find inner harmony, union and happiness.
The purity of the rose equalizes the bliss of nothingness, paradise.

In the Bach Flower Remedies the wild rose (Rosa canina) is used
to cure apathy. Wild rose is prescribed for people who have given up,
who have stopped trying to solve an unwanted situation in their life,
who believe that it does not matter or that their fate can not be changed.
These people are stuck on one of the rose thorns on their life path.
The remedy of the Wild rose will help them to become lively and
enthusiastic again and to reach for the rose at the end of the journey.


When God calls our loved ones to dwell with Him above,
We humans always question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache can compare with the loss of one 'child',
Who does so much to make this world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires - always calling the aged to His fold,
And so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them and so He picks but few;
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view
Believing this is difficult, yet somehow we must try,
For the saddest word that mankind knows will always be "good-bye".
And so when loved ones depart;We, who are left behind,
must realize how much God loves them...For angels are hard to find.

SOMETIMES, AS WE WALK DOWN THE ROADWAY OF LIFE,
WE FIND IT NARROWS BEFORE OUR EYES.
OTHER TIMES THE ROAD MAY GROW INTO A WIDE EXPRESSWAY.
WE WALKED DOWN THIS ROAD OF LIFE, FROM TWO DIRECTIONS,
AND A COLLISION OCCURRED.
LOVE COMPARED TO A ROADWAY CAN SOMETIMES SEEM JUST
AS HAZARDOUS, PARTICULARLY IN THE NARROW PARTS.
MY LOVE FOR YOU CANNOT BE CONSIDERED NARROW,
THOUGH AT TIME IN THE PAST IT HAS BEEN SO,
AND BADLY IN NEED OF REPAIR.
THANKS TO PROGRESS MY LOVE FOR YOU HAS GROWN
INTO A WIDE, STRAIGHT, EXPRESSWAY.

EMPTY


LIFE SOMETIMES SEEMS AN EMPTY AND USELESS THING.
TIME GOES BY WITHOUT A MEANING.
THOUGHTS DRIFT AND GO WITH THE WIND.
ALWAYS A MOVING THING.
THE HEART KEEPING YOU GOING ANOTHER TOMORROW.
AS TIME GOES BY, IT BEATS ONLY FOR THE NEXT DAWN.
INSIDE THE HURT SWELLS, AND FLOWS OUT IN DROPS OF TEARS.
LIFE WILL, AND MUST STILL GO ON.
BUT, THE HURT, AND ACHE WILL ALWAYS,
REMAIN AS A REMINDER.
LIFE IS ONCE AGAIN EMPTY.
