Dried Carnation ~ Arranged & Scanned by Robert Newhall
{Given to him on Mothers Day at a restaurant.}
Bob loved his Mother dearly, so he saved
this flower in her honor. She left
this world many years ago.


But Beautiful

Once it shined in bright red color,
once it smelled so sweet.
Now it lays abandoned, dried and
crushed, I see.

This flower, once so beautiful,
is still that way to me.
For what in life does not grow old,
not an animal, person, or tree.

With the change of growing older,
wisdom comes to me.
Thank you Lord for every year
that you have given me.

May I live to help another as
they struggle along the way.
To see the beauty in a flower,
be it dead or bright as May.

Love Is

Love is wonderful, love is sad.
Loves makes you happy and
love makes you mad.
So, why do we want it, why do we care?
Knowing a love that is true,
is so very rare!

Yet, while not seeking, we find it.
Is it true, can it be?
Will it last for a lifetime,
can it really be happening to me?
There is no way of knowing,
we must just wait and see.

We can wish and we can dream.
This love is more marvelous,
more beautiful, than I've ever seen.
So, we'll hold on, won't give up,
after all, love is much too precious,
not something we can just dump.

Love is being there through it all,
helping each other when we slip and fall.
I'll be here for you as you have been for me.
Isn't that what love is mean't to be?
So, here's a loving hug and a kiss,
this my love, is what love is.

Reach

Reach for the stars
Keep your halo polished
Share your favorite things with others
Plant a garden for the butterflies
Say something nice to someone everyday
Be patient with those who don't fly as fast as you do
Talk to the plants to help them grow
Always tell the truth
Think good thoughts
Sprinkle a little stardust wherever you go
