which has no superfluous parts;
which exactly answers its end;
which stands related to all things;
which is the mean of many extremes.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
smiles are to humanity.
They are but trifles to be sure,
but scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivable.
I want to see life through the eyes of a child
And live with its love in my heart,
And see all the gladness and beauty of life
That a child enjoys and imparts;
I want to be happy, contented and pleased
With the common-found treasures of earth,
And to live with the trust and faith of a child
God wills to His children at birth.
I want to see joy in all of God's works
And the magic of laughter that brightens each nook
Where a child finds rapture in play;
And I want to see love - to harvest and sow -
That a child gives away with a smile;
And to count my blessings and treasures in life
Through the love-smiling eyes of a child.
~ Michael Dubina ~
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle."
~Albert Einstein~
Its loveliness increases;
it will never pass into nothingness.
~John Keats~
beauty is a light in the heart."
