HEARTPRINTS
Whatever our hands touch---
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.
Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
and genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!
I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME...

missing you will bring me tears
cause with you here I have no fears
and in my arms I am safe with you

WHAT
WE SHARE
by JILL WOLF
When we share laughter,
There's twice the fun;
When we share success,
We've surpassed what we've done.
When we share problems,
There's half the pain;
When we share tears,
A rainbow follows rain.
When we share dreams,
They become more real;
When we share secrets,
It's our hearts we reveal.
If we share a smile,
That's when our love shows;
If we share a hug,
That's when our love grows.
If we share with someone
On whom we depend,
That person is always
Family or friend.
And what draws us closer
And makes us all care,
Is not what we have,
But the things that we share.

#2
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP;
I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP,
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW;
I AM THE DIAMOND GLINT ON SNOW.
I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN;
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN RAIN.
WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING'S HUSH,
I AM THE SWIFT UPLIGHTING RUSH
OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT.
I AM THE SOFT STAR THAT SHINES AT NIGHT.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY;
I AM NOT THERE; I DID NOT DIE.

MORNING
STAR
Did you ever see a sunset stretch
across the starry skies
And wish those wondrous colors were reflected in my eyes?
Did you ever wonder about this, when the night came
closing in,
If that same moon you're looking at was shining on your
friend
Did you ever stop and think, no matter
where you are,
I just might be gazing up at that self-same star?
Do you know that gentle breeze that cools your fevered
brow
Could be dancing in my hair, or touching me somehow?
And if you see a shooting star across
the heavens glide,
My mouth might form an " Oh, how grand! " as if
standing by your side.
So when you close your eyes tonight,
and the darkness does descend,
That same night wraps around me, too, until I wake again.
That morning sunrise that you see, so glorious and pink
My eyes are looking at it, too, it makes me stop and
think,
No matter what the distance, it matters not how far,
We can always find each other in the morning star.

A
FRIEND
Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our deepest
feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we want
to be.
But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was
ours alone.
And we allow that person to see, to feel and to share
All the reason, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.
That person adds new perspective to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our
special place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend.

Soulmates
A soulmate is someone who has the locks
to fit our keys, and the keys to fit our
locks. When we feel safe enough to open
the locks, our truest selves step out and
we can be completely and honestly who we
are; we can be loved for who we are and
not for who we're pretending to be.
Each of us unveils the best part of one
another. No matter what else goes wrong
around us, with that one person were safe
in our paradise. Our soulmate is someone
who shares our deepest longings, our sense
of direction. When we're two balloons, and
together our direction is up, chances are
we've found the right person. Our soulmate
is the one who makes life come to life.

Remember
Good Morning, Yesterday!
You wake up and time has slipped away,
and suddenly it's hard to find
the memories you left behind;
Remember? Do you remember
the laughter and the tears,
the shadows of misty yesteryears?
the good times and the bad you've seen
and all the others in between,
Remember?
Do you remember the times of your life?
Reach back for the joy and the sorrow,
put them away in your mind;
for mem'ries are time that you borrow
to spend when you get to tomorrow.
Here comes the setting sun,
the seasons are passing one by one;
so gather moments while you may
collect the dreams you dream today.
Remember?
Will you remember
THE TIMES OF YOUR LIFE.

Titanic
Love
Two lovers joined at the heart,
Different by class which was far apart.
One forbidden to see the other,
But love kept them together.
On a great boat is where they met.
On this great boat is where one met death.
Love's light guided their way,
To each others heart on a tragic day.
As night approached,
Their love grew,
And as night approached,
Danger brewed.
As danger approached,
Their lips neared.
Soon after they kissed,
They felt fear.
The boat was sinking with their dreams.
Their hopes and wishes broke at their seams.
No land in sight.
They had no might.
How would their love survive?
