I want to give you something, my child,
for we are drifting in the stream of the world.
Our lives will be carried apart,
and our love forgotten.
But I am not so foolish as to hope that
I could buy your heart with my gifts.
 
Young is your life, your path long, and
you drink the love we bring you at one draught
and turn and run away from us.
You have your play and your playmates.
What harm is there if you have no time
or thought for us.
 
We, indeed, have leisure enough in old age
to count the days that are past,
to cherish in our hearts what our
hands have lost for ever.
The river runs swift with a song,
breaking through all barriers.
But the mountain stays and remembers,
and follows her with his love. 

LOVE

I’ve nothing else to offer So it’s love to you   I‘ll send
It’s nothing that I Borrowed, And it’s nothing that I’d lend, It has no dollar value
And it can’t be over used. 
It isn’t fragile so it will not break 
But often it’s abused. I’ve given it to others, 
But each time it is unique 
It’s meaning is always different,
Depending on what you seek. It’s something you can seek. 
It’s something you can store away 
To feel when you’re in need;
But never is it on display, Its beauty can’t be seen. 
I’m giving it to you, 
No strings attached, 
No costly warranty, Because this love that I am sending 
Has A Lifetime Guarantee!  
 

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
She knows I like her just as well
As in the days when I rang her bell, And she rang mine.
We were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jane"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of her" But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner-yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jane died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend. If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say "what you mean".
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
They have helped to make you the person you are today,
What it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends.
Let it make a difference in your day and theirs
