On this day a Special Treasure

On this day a Special Treasure

for Kristi

The world received its greatest gift
The day you were born

For on that auspicious day
As a most precious bouquet
gift wrapped in a bundle of joy
arrived someone who loves, who care
And no effort does she ever spare
when she notice someone's need and fill it
And because of her the spark of hope is lit

Who lifts others up and beyond measure encourage
Who dispenses energy and care in the largest dosage
Someone who touches each life that she does enter
And in this she has become my absolute mentor
Someone who makes a difference in this world

There's something I wish you to know
As ripples of kindness outward flow
as each person blessed by your touch
in turn touches another, and as such
many, many more blessings continues to flow

My wish is for your birthday
to become a universal holiday
for you are a priceless treasure

My wish for you is
for the love that you have shown so many
to return to you multiplied

My wish for you is
that each of these special days
are the happiest of all
and many, many more
so others may have time
to appreciate you
as much as I do.

Thank you for being a special part of my life

One day a mother died.

And on that clear, cold morning,
in the warmth of her bedroom,
the daughter was struck with
the pain of learning that sometimes
there isn't any more.

No more hugs,
no more lucky moments to celebrate together,
no more phone calls just to chat,
No more 'just one minute'

Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away.
never to return before we can say good-bye,
Say 'I Love You.'

So while we have it . . it's best we love it . .
And care for it and fix it when it's broken
and take good care of it when it's sick.

This is true for that special person in your life,
And friendships;
And children with bad report cards;
And dogs with bad hips;
And aging parents and grandparents

We keep them because they are worth it,
Because we cherish them!

Some things we keep --
like a best friend who moved away
or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that
make us happy, No matter what..

Life is important,
and so are the people we know
And so, we keep them close!

Thank you very much for
being a special part of my life.

Be kinder than necessary,
For everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle
