MY WEALTH

** *** * *** **

If Wealth was solely measured by nature and each friend

I never could stop counting, my wealth would have no end

** * **

If only each songbird that sings,seemingly just for me

Could add a bit to my coffer, how rich then I would be

** * **

The sparkling waters of a stream that captures my delight

And stars like diamonds on display that sparkle in the night

** * **

The antics of each animal content to romp and play

Wold make me rich beyond belief no worries then to weigh

** * **

My wealth comes from the friends I know and each one that I love

No way to count riches I have my blessings from above

** * **

The richest people in the world are thoose with lessons learned

Who know wealth comes from what is free and not from money earned

** * **

I´m quite content to live my life enjoy the wealth I´ve sent

For no way can I spend it all then wonder where it went

FOOTPRINTS IN OUR HEARTS

Some people come into our lives and quickly go

Some people move our souls to dance

They awaken us to new understanding with

the passing whisper of their wisdom

***** ***** *****

Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon

They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints

in our hearts and we are never ever the same

TRUE FRIEND

*** **** * **** ***

If I could catch a rainbow, I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty on the days you feeling blue

If I could build a mountain, You could call your very own

A place to find serenity, A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles, I would toss them into the sea

But all these things, I am finding is impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain or catch a rainbow fair

But let me be what I know best, A true friend who is always there

STAR WOLF

** ** * ****

From the stars to join the souls on Earth

who live, struggle and grow

Sometimes feeling lost alone and hurting

-She came and fell like all the rest

* * *

But the light has kept her moving and

courage made her strong

Touching thoose along the way with a heart

that makes a difference

-while it is- in truth being born

* * *

Coming home to the stars by walking

truth on earth and her pack hears her howl

while the stars shine above

With a laugh and a tear she does what it takes

to fulfill the intent of the heart that she is

He has achieved sucess ;

Who has lived well, laughed often and loved much

Who has gained the respect of intelligent

and the love from little children

Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task

Who has left the world better then he found it ;

whether by an improved poppy

a perfect poem or a rescued soul

Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth´s

beauty or failed to express it

Who has looked for the best in others and

given the best he had

He has achieved success ;

Whose life was an inspiration

Whose memory was a blessing

ONLY YOU

** * *** * *** * **

A person can make you feel high-A person can make you feel low

But only you can decide..-Which way you want to go

A person can hurt you mentally-A person can hurt you phisically

But only you can place..-A limit on your abilities

A person can cause drama-A person can cause a situation

But only you can create...-Your own reputation

A person can make you laugh-A person can make you cry

But only you can make...-Decisions of your life

** * **

I guess what I am trying to say

That when you living day by day

Dont live by what people do-But live by what you know is true

I AM BORN TO LIVE-NOT TO EXIST

* ** * ** *

I would like to be a flower that blooms

to full glory and dies

Rather than being a tree that never blossoms

* * * *

I would like to be a spark that burns with a

brilliant blaze for a moment

Rather than being a light witch cannot show

path to anyone

* * * *

I would like to be superb meteor which

carries a magnificent glow

Rather than being a sleepy and permanent planet

* * * *

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them

I shall use my time

* * * *

I am born to live-Not to exist

LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY

**** ******* ****

Love is like a butterfly--It has wings and can soar high

So look above the clouds--Not behind you

And your world will become a fantasy

of magic, mystery and romance

*******

So spread your wings and fly

And like the butterfly--Life becomes a gift

And your treasures in life--Are wings of flight

To any destination you choose
