♥ ALL THE SMALL THINGS ♥

Sometimes in life we seem to slow our pace
And in our hearts we’re left with an empty space
We only think of the loneliness and pain
Then someone says there’s no need to explain

They do not have to be your very best friend
But maybe you’ll find, on them you may depend
Even if you don’t say what you’re thinking inside
Just talking is better than trying to hide

I’ve found people that put a smile on my face
And let me tell you, they’ve filled that empty space
So to the people I am talking about
I want you to know the small things really do count

When I talk to you I feel everything’s okay
To you I owe a debt I could never repay
So when you forget about the lives you touch
Think of me, for it is you I owe so much

I hate to think, without you, what my life would be
So when you have trouble know you may lean on me
And I guess all I’m really trying to say
Is thanks, for it’s the small things that have made my day

When you are sad.............I will dry your tears
When you are scared........I will comfort your fears
When you are worried.......I will give you hope
When you are confused.....I will help you cope
And when you are lost.......And can't see the light
I shall be your beacon.......Shining ever so bright
This is my oath.................I pledge till the end
Why you may ask?............Because you're MY FRIEND

♥ Remember (by Steve Goodier) ♥

Remember that your presence is a present to the world.
Remember that you are a unique and unrepeatable creation.
Remember that your life can be what you want it to be.
Remember to count your blessings, not your troubles.
Remember that you'll make it through whatever comes along.
Remember that most of the answers you need are within you.
Remember those dreams waiting to be realized.
Remember that decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Remember to always reach for the best that is within you.
Remember that nothing wastes more energy than worry.
Remember that not getting what you want...
is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Remember that the longer you carry a grudge, the heavier it gets.
Remember not to take things too seriously.
Remember to laugh.
Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that happiness is more often found in giving than getting.
Remember that life's treasures are people, not things.
Remember that miracles still happen.

Love to you my dear friend. xxx

Hi! Just to explain why I have added “The Journey” passage again on Bonnie, Trixie and Jasper’s sites – I didn’t know the author previously, and have been trying to find out. I have managed to contact the author and she has kindly said that she would be happy for it to be used here on GTS.

So I have edited the original tribute to include the copyright details as requested. Unfortunately it doesn’t allow me to remove the original 2-part tribute with “Author Unknown” (middle of Page 1 on all 3 sites), only the memorial creator can do that, so if you could remove it, I would be grateful.

Take care, love Mel. xxx

A Friend Should be Radical, Fanatical and Most of All, Mathematical…

A Friend should be Radical;

* They should love you when you’re unlovable,
* Hug you when you’re unhuggable,
* And bear you when you’re unbearable.

A Friend should be Fanatical;

* They should cheer when the whole world boos,
* Dance when you get good news,
* And cry when you cry too.

But most of all, a Friend should be Mathematical;

* They should multiply the joy, divide the sorrow,
* Subtract the past, and add to tomorrow,
* Calculate the need deep in your heart,
* And always be bigger than the sum of all their parts.

You are everything a friend should be!

Love from Mel. xxx
