MAGGIE

When my father was slightly inebriated, he used to sing this song with passion! His mother's name was Margaret!

There are other versions, but I quite liked it 'Country & Western Style'.

HOPE

When all about you is black with gloom, And all you feel is pending doom. When your bones are racked with grim despair - When every breath is a gasp for air. Keep on going, though you need to grope, For around the bend is a ray of hope. A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left, As your will to live has been bereft. You've lost it all, it's just no use! You can end it all, you need no excuse. But throw away that piece of rope, And give yourself a chance of hope. Just give yourself another day, Brushing aside what your thoughts may say. This is your life and you can make a new start, By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart. Taking baby steps in order to cope, And minute by minute you'll build on your hope. Build on your hope,. one day at a time, Though the road be steep and hard to climb. The hurts of the past - they should be dead. The fears of the future are all in your head. Just live in the present and refuse to mope Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope. ~Brian Quinn~

The Gift of Friends

There are days when bubbling from us comes the innocent child within, who giggles at the little things and wears a silly grin. There are days when melancholy comes to visit for a while; the mind feels tired, the body weak; we have no strength to smile. There are days when joy abundant grabs a hold of you and me; wraps us up in all it's splendor, lifts us up and sets us free. There are days when sorrow wraps us in its cloak of grief and fear, 'till our hearts ache to the breaking,'till our eyes can't shed a tear. There are days when love bestows us with its wonderment and light; with its beauty and its mystery, its power and its might. And there are days when life rewards us and seems to make amends by granting us a marvelous gift, the precious gift of friends. ~Karin Schaefer~

What Love Is

It is Love that gives me purpose to change and grow and learn. It is Love that guides me on this path and helps me choose each turn. It is Love that gives me courage to stand against my fears; to open up my heart to you, to let you see my tears. It is Love that gives me trust and hope when little thing go wrong. When distance stands between us, it is Love that keeps me strong. It is Love that offers harmony and a friendship that is true. How wonderful that I can share a Love like this with you! ~Karin Schaefer~

SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you a day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always Words by John Denver, Music by John Denver, Dick Kniss and Mike Taylor

MOTHER'S GLUE

I wonder how she does it, holding it together the way she does. It seems no matter how life gets out of place she puts it back the way it was. It's always been a mystery, but I guess it must be true. That there is nothing stronger than a mother's love when she uses Mother's Glue. Now Mother's Glue is not a recipe, or that sticky stuff used in art. But it's that special love that mothers use to keep your life from falling apart. It's the way she is always there to listen so you know that everything will be okay. It's that special bonding hug she gives you to help you make it through the day. It's the way she is able to touch your face and hold the tears away. It's the way she stays up all night with you to hold the fears away. It's the way she makes the sacrifice because she'll do anything for you. Because she knows you just wouldn't make it if she didn't use Mother's Glue But, if you're still not sure then ask her, and I'll bet she'll just smile at you. Because a mother never uses words, she just uses Mother's Glue. ~by Charmer~
