Yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, Tomorrow awaits. As long as we have friendship, Today is beautiful! On this special day...a salute to friends everywhere! How many slams in an old screen door? Depends on how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends on how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends on how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends on how much you give 'em. ~Shel Silverstein~ I have never been rich before, But you have poured Into my heart's high door A golden hoard. My wealth is the vision shared, The sympathy, The feast of the soul prepared By you for me. Together we wander through The wooded ways. Old beauties are green and new Seen through your gate. I look for no greater prize Than your soft voice. The steadiness of your eyes Is my heart's choice. I have never been rich before, But I divine Your step on my sunlit door And wealth is mine! ~Anne Campbell~ I have a kindly neighbor, one who stands Beside my gate and chats with me awhile. Gives me the glory of his radiant smile And comes at times to help with willing hands. No station high or rank this man commands; He, too, must trudge, as I, the long day's mile; And yet, devoid of pomp or gaudy style, He has a worth exceeding stocks or lands. To him I go when sorrow's at my door; On him I lean when burdens come my way; Together oft we talk our trials o'er, And there is warmth in each good night we say. A kindly neighbor! Wars and strife shall end When man has made the man next door his friend. ~Edgar A. Guest~ Thank you, Mogens, for creating this beautiful globe for me! Thank you, Janie! :) Thank you so much, Mommacat!!! ;) take time to tell your family and friends just how much you value their love and friendship. Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow may never come... There's no time like the present!
