Is Heaven In The Yellow Pages?
Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her
here today,
My tummy hurts and I fell down, I
need her right away.
Operator can you tell me how to find
her in this book?
Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't
know where to look.
I think my daddy needs her too, at
night I hear him cry.
I hear him call her name sometimes,
but I really don't know why...
Maybe if I call her,
she will hurry home to me.
Is Heaven very far away,
is it across the sea?
She's been gone a long, long time she
needs to come home now!
I really need to reach her, but I
simply don't know how.
Help me find the number please, is it
listed under "Heaven"?
I can't read these big, big words,
because I am only seven.
I'm sorry operator,
I didn't mean to make you cry,
Is your tummy hurting too,
or is there something in your eye?
If I call my church maybe they will
know.
Mommy said when we need help that's
where we should go.
I found the number to my church
tacked up on the wall.
Thank you operator, I'll go give them
a call. ~ Author Unknown

"Together
Forever"
Together forever, that's how we are,
because you will always be my shining
star.
No matter what happens, we'll be as
one,
it will always be as if it has just
begun.
Together forever, never falling
apart,
because you'll always be deep within
my heart.
I'll always love you, no one can
compare,
you will never be unworthy of my
stare.
Forever in my mind, never to begin to
fade away,
I'm here for you and you for me,
every night and day.
Together forever, we share a true
love,
we'll always be together as peaceful
as a dove.
No matter what they say or do,
I'll always be deep in love with you.

Without You
What would I do
Without you?
How would I live?
Where would I go
To lay down my head
And my worries?
Who would listen to
My dreams
And hopeful ambitions?
When would I feel
The joys of contentment
Of companionship?
Of being one
With another
And with love?
What would I do
Without you?
I would close my eyes,
Remember your warmth,
You smile,
Your passionate way
Of tackling life
And me...
I would close my eyes
And remember
And wish
And long
For your touch,
Your grace...
What would I do
Without you?
I would relish
Our memories
And wish you were here...
I love you ~by Dobhran~

"A Special Friend"
A Friend is someone special
who can stand inside your shoes,
feel your joy and sadness,
and never judge you or accuse.
A Friend is someone you can sit with
not uttering one word,
but knowing in your silence
there is something to be heard.
To have a friendship such as this
is something very rare.
Cherish this special someone
with tender, loving care.
Thank You
for being such a special friend!

OPEN YOUR ARMS!
There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart,
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.
A hug's a way to share the joy
And the sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say,
"Hey I like you 'cause you're you!"
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear!
A hug is an amazing thing,
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.
It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good -
In every place and language,
It's always understood.
Hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries, or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts! ~Author Unknown

Touch Someone!
People Ask" How can you be friends
with someone you have never met?"
I tell them" You have never
been online I bet!".
It's something people offline
will never understand.
You open up your heart to
friendship with your typing Hands.
It's a world full friendship at your
finger tips, there is so much.
Online, it only takes a heart
to reach people with your touch.
First you start out online,
surfing all around.
Next thing you know a great
friend will be found.
You will chat a lot and
surf cyber space.
Soon it will be your second home,
a comforting special place.
A Friend to share your
dreams and your tears
and to help each other
wipe away life's fears.
You will share life together
and help each other along
You will make it thru bad weather
because friendship is so strong.
No matter how far apart you go,
your keyboards will keep you together.
and in your heart you will know you
don't need a face to be a true friend forever.
So, How do you explain this to
people who have never been online.
I guess it takes a gesture of
friendship & a little bit of time.
So let's start by sending this around
and passing our special touch.
A smile, a website, a gesture starts it all..
becoming friends doesn't take much! ~ Author

Why God Gave Us Friends
God knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near.
He knew they need someone kind
To lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand.
God knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
To be a source of courage
When troubles come our way.
Someone to be true to us,
Whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
Hold and treasure in our hearts.
That's Why God Gave Us Friends ~

A
Place For Me
There is a special place in life
That needs my humble skill
A certain job I'm meant to do
that No one else can fill.
The hours may be demanding,
And the pay is not too good
And yet I wouldn't change it
For a moment if I could.
There is a special place in life
A goal I must attain
A Dream that I must follow
For I won't be back again.
There is a mark that I must leave
However small it be
A legacy of love for those
Who follow after me.
There is a special place in life
That only I may share
A little path that bears my name
Awaiting me somewhere.
There is a hand that I must hold
A word that I must say
A smile that I must give
For there are tears to blot away.
There is a special place in life
That I was meant to fill
A sunny spot where flowers grow
Upon a windy hill.
There's Always a Tomorrow
And the Best is yet to be
And Somewhere in the world I know
There is a Place for Me! ~ Author Unknown ~

SPECIAL FRIENDS!
Although it's quite a statement,
Well, it happens to be true,
The best friend I have ever had
I'm glad to say, is you!
You're there if I should need you
And you never turn away,
I know I can depend on you
At any time of day.
We've had our ups and downs
As nearly everybody does,
But problems never last for long
With special friends like us!
Some people have so many friends
With whom they spend their time,
But no one has a best friend
Who's as wonderful as mine!
So thanks for always being there,
Your friendship's strong and true.
And I just want to let you know
I'm always there for you! ~ Author Unknown
