When you start out in life
It’s all a bit daunting
So many new paths to explore
So many options to choose from
But believe in yourself
Believe in your dreams
….. and make them happen
Because you will find
your dreams will show you the way
There is no one place
anywhere in the world
where every single one of us
would definitely be happy to live
We are all different
We have different needs
The real trick is to find
‘Your own’
Perfect location
The light of day
with the heat of the sun
The dark of night
with the brightness of the stars
The colour of a rainbow
with the touch of raindrops
when you are outside………
Living life is all around you
– all the time
A lot of our younger years were spent
Wanting to be “old enough to……..”
and ‘X’ number of years was like a magic barrier
to be reached or illicitly crossed!
To ride a bike ‘on the road’
– to leave school, to wear make-up,
get a job, drive a car
go dancing and / or drinking or even to vote!
We never seemed quite to be
……..
tall enough for the fun fair ride
or old enough to gain entry
or mature enough to get insured in Dad’s car!
As each goal was achieved – another appeared
But
Life is not a race to the end
There is no prize for finishing first
Each day comes but once
and all we truly have
is the memory of our past
and this one moment in Time
It is the quality of how we spend our time
which make the best memories

and all we truly have is the memory of our past
and this one moment in Time
It is the quality of how we spend our time
which make the best memories
We moved through our Yesterdays
to the music of life
Creating our memories one day at a time
The Great times and the Good times
and some Sad times too
Today and forever
Those memories we live and Tomorrow
The music plays on…..
With the promise of so much
still to share….
We can not choose
who we fall in love with
The most unlikely people
fall in lovewith each other all the time
How often do we hear
“He (or she) is not good enough for you”
We do not have a choice
when we fall in love it is unconditional
Age, colour, creed, wealth or the lack of it
The list of reasons why it will not work
is endless
but so is love
and I do believe
when two people, any two people
love each other enough
then everything is possible
It may mean rejection
by families or friends
but like the couple in this picture
Together they can take on the world
come rain, wind or shine
United they will stand!!
The song goes
“You just call out my name
and you know where ever I am,
I’ll come running”
As long as you have a friend
No matter how low you feel
on your own
No matter how bad things seem
in the dark
If you’ve got a friend
a phone call
is all it will take
If you have stood
in front of a weighing scales
Wishing, hoping, praying
for a certain result
If you know how it feels
to fail in your quest
and if you know how it feels
to succeed in your quest
and
if you know how it feels
just to “Let it be”
Then you know it all
Balanced individual .
The excitement when two people
set out on the journey of Life
is tangible
The expectation
of what is to come is immense
The joy of each new addition
to the family is boundless
The support of development and
pride in achievenment is great
Celebrations and anniversaries
come and go
Be sure to enjoy each day and
do not forget to keep the door open
to new places and new experiences
so that you enjoy your journey
to the very end!
If I knew then what I know now
