If nobody smiled and nobody cared
and nobody helped us along.
If every moment looked after itself and
good things always went to the strong;
If nobody cared just a little about you
and nobody cared about me,
and we stood alone, in the battle of life,
What a dreary old world this would be
Just because of the friends we have made
And the things which in common we share,
We want to live on, not because of ourselves
but because of the people who care.
It is doing and giving for somebody else
on which all of life’s splendour depends.
The joy of this world, when you’ve summed it all up
is found in the making of friends.
FRIENDSHIP
Friends are the people we’re happy to know
And even prouder to tell them so.
The time has come round
When I get chance to send
A loving wish to a very special friend.
You’re someone I can really trust
And on whom I can rely
And your loyalty has meant a lot
Throughout the months gone by.
For never once in all this time
Have you fallen short
Of being truly helpful and giving your support.
There are so many reasons that I could surely give
Why you’re a very special friend
That I’m glad to spend time with.

Dear Olphia,
We are touched by Angels
and walk where Angels tread.
They will guide us and walk beside us
through the days ahead.
In our hours of darkness
when our dreams have flown,
they bring hope & gentle healing.
We are not alone.
In our times of doubting,
still they understand.
and for ever touched by Angels,
We walk hand in hand.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely things you put on Rebecca’s site; they mean a great deal to me and I know they do to Rebecca too.
Sorry I haven’t been on here very much as things have been quite difficult during the last couple of weeks but it is the loving thoughts and deeds of people like yourself that help me through the very difficult days.
Thank you.

This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
New York Hospital .
It was sent by
a medical doctor -
Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE
POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever
watched
kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to
the
rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the
fading
night?
You better slow down.
Don't
dance so
fast.
Time is short.
The music
won't
last.
Do you run through each day
On the
fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do
you hear
the
reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie
in your
bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through
your head?
You'd better
slow down
Don't dance so
fast.
Time is
short.
The music won't
last.
Ever told your
child,
We'll do it
tomorrow?
And in your
haste,
Not see
his sorrow?
Ever lost
touch,
Let a good
friendship die
Cause you
never had time
To call
and say,'Hi'
You'd
better slow down.
Don't dance
so fast.
Time
is short.
The music won't
last.
When you run
so fast to get somewhere
You
miss half the fun of getting
there.
When you worry and hurry
through your
day,
It is like an unopened
gift....
Thrown
away.
Life is not a
race.
Do take it
slower
Hear the
music
Before the song is
over.
PART 2.....FORWARDED
E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL
COUNT...do not change the title
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -
even to those you don't
know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon
leave this world
due to cancer.
This young girl has 6 months left
to live,
and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to
live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll
never make it to prom, graduate from high school,
or get married and have a
family of her
own.
By you sending
this to as many people as
possible, you can give her and her family a
little hope, because with every name
that this is sent to, The American
Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name
to her treatment and recovery
plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know
that we can at least send
it to 5 or 6. It's
not even your money, just
your
time!
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
