Friendship is counting on another
To understand our moods,
Put up with our failings,
Encourage our dreams,
Share our problems,
Brighten our outlook,
And just be there when needed.
Friendship is truly
One of life's great gifts,
Adding beauty and richness to our lives,
And promise to the future.

THE WORLD NEEDS
A little more kindness and a little less creed,
A little more giving and a little less greed;
A little more smile and a little less frown,
A little less kicking a man when hes down;
A little more "we" and a little less "i",
A little more laugh and a little less cry;
A few more flowers on the pathway of life,
and fewer on graves at the end of the strife,

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming, you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
There will always be another day to say our "I love you's", and certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight..
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear.Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
