A KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON
Author: Unknown

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on.
...oOo...
When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true.
...oOo...
Give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.

A MOTHER'S PRAYER
Author: Unknown

Dear Lord, it’s such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life’s been anything but calm
Since You called me to be a mom -
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with wooden blocks,
Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs,
A stack of last week’s mail to read –
So where’s the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
I see then, in my small one’s face,
That you have blessed me
All the while –
And I stoop to kiss
That precious smile.

A THANKSGIVING POEM
Author: Robert Frost

God, we thank you for this food
For rest and home and all things good
For wind and rain and sun above
But most of all for those we love

AS TIME GOES BY
Author: UnKnown

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
+++|+++
And when two lovers woo,
They still say: "I love you."
On that you can rely.
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
+++|+++
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
+++|+++
It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

DEAR DADDY
Author: Unknown

In all the things I try to do,
I want to do them just like you.
I'm watching every move you make
And trying to take each step you take.
------!!!------
Although right now I'm sort of small,
When I'm with you I feel ten feet tall.
Like you, I want to be brave and smart,
'Cause I love you, Daddy with all my heart.
------!!!------
When I am older I'll be so glad
If I grow up to be
Just like Dad.

A BIRTHDAY
Author: Christina G. Rossetti (1830-94)

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot:
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickest fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.

Raise me a dias of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and proegrantes,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleur-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.

A DAY WITHOUT YOU
Author: Heather Lockheart

A day without you,
Is a day without me,
For you make me who I am,
And who I want to be.
A day without you,
Is a day without light,
For you light up my sky,
And you light up my life.
A day without you,
Is a day without sound,
For I open my ears,
To hear you around.
A day without you,
Is a day without cheer,
For you make me smile,
And you don't cause a tear.
A day without you,
Is a day without sight,
For you open my eyes,
And make my world bright.
But a day without you,
Will never be,
Because I trust in you,
And I know,
you'll always be here for me

A GIFT OF LOVE TO A FRIEND
Author: Author: Unknown

I've nothing else to offer,

so, to you, it's love 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 overused;

It isn't fragile, so it can't break,

though, often it's abused.

I've given it to others

But each time it's unique,

its meaning's always different;

it depends on what you 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 "no strings attached,"

no costly warranty;

this love that I am sending

has a lifetime guarantee.

LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY
Author: Percy Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle:-
Why not I with thine?

See! The mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the Earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:-
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

A TRUE FRIEND
Author: Khahlil Gibran

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me,
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be...what I know best,
A friend that's always there.

ANGEL
Author: Anonymous

Some People Think Of Angels,
As Wearing White With Wings.
Some People think of them as,
Little Choir Boys That Sing.

Some People Think Of Angels,
As Floating From Heaven Above.
As Some Think Of Little Cupids,
Who Shoot Their Arrows Of Love.

The Definition of an Angel,
Are All Different It Is True.
But When I Think Of An Angel,
I Always Think Of You.

ARE YOU MY FRIEND?
Author: Anonymous

Written with a pen.
Sealed with a kiss.
If your my friend,
please answer this:
Are we Friends
or are we not?
You told me once
But I forgot.
So tell me now
And tell me true.
So I can say....
"I'm here for you
Of all the friends
I've ever met,
you're the one
I won't forget.
And if I die
Before you do,
I'll go to heaven
And wait for you

I'll give the angels
Back their wings
And risk the loss
Of everything.
Just to prove my
Friendship is true..
to have a friend like you!

DREAM
Author: Tahir

I love to dream
for when I do
I'm sure to only
dream of you
and in my dreams
there is so much
your lips to kiss
your skin to touch
but when I awake
it's sadness I feel
for all that I dreamt
was not real
when I am with you
I shake inside
my heart feels tangled
my tongue is tied
my soul aches for you
and for you to be near
my heart cries out loud
for you to hear
be by my side
and hold me tight
Love me tonight

I'LL ALWAYS...
Author: Tahir

I'll always be dear to you
I'll always care about you
Until the stars have lost their sparkle
And sun refuses to shine
You’ll always be on my mind
Until lightning ceases to strike
And tears stop falling
Until rainbows have no ending
Your name I’ll still be calling
Until time stop ticking
And skies are emptied of stars
Until my heart stop beating
I’ll never stop loving you

TIL THE END OF TIME
Author: Beth E. Woodbridge

I love you with all of my heart;
with all of my soul;
and with all of my being.
I love you as though you are a part of me;
as though without you I could not survive;
and as though without you I would not be complete.

I'll love you 'til the end of time;
'til the blue birds no longer sing;
and 'til the green grass no longer grows.
I'll love you 'til my heart stops beating;
'til love no longer exists;
and 'til lovers are no longer lovers.

For everything you do, I do;
for everything you say, I say;
and everything you are, so am I.
So with every breath I have in me,
I'll love you 'til the end of time.

WHEN A BEGGAR BEHOLD YOU...
Author: Translated By Gertrude L. Joerissen

When the breeze inflates your two robes of silk
you look like a Goddess enveloped in clouds.

When you pass, the flowers of the mulberry tree
drink in your perfume. When you carry the lilacs
that you have gathered, they tremble with joy.

Bands of gold encircle your ankels, stones of blue
gleam in your girdle. A bird of jade has made its
nest in your hair. The roses of your cheeks mirror
themselves in the great pearls of your collar.

When you look at me, I see the river Yuen flowing
when you speak to me I hear the music of the
wind among the pines of my country.

When a horseman meets you at dusk he thinks
it is already dawn, and brutally he brings his
horse to a stand still.

.... when a beggar beholds you, he forgets his hunger.

THE ISLAND
Author: Jonathan Dykes

Each night I dream of beautiful Island
Surrounded by beaches & covered in flowers
Butterflies dance through the sweet-smelling meadows
And birds sing their love songs for hours
Crystal clear water runs down from the mountains
And flows through deep valleys as a sparkling stream
Gentle sea breezes blow over my Island
While sunshine pours over my dreams
Each night I visit the Island of my dreams
I leave the real world behind
Not too easy to find THE ISLAND
Bright orange squirrels play games in the treetops
And chase through the branches where nightingales sing
I took so peaceful I wish I could take you
To where each nights the first day of spring
I leave the real world behind,
It some where deep in my mind,
Not too easy to find, THE ISLAND
THE ISLAND THE ISLAND
