ღ - BEAUTY OF TREES - ღ





                                                          BEAUTY OF TREES


 
By Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)





I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;



A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;



Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by folk like me,
But only God can make a tree.

<><> Recipe for Kindness <><>


Fold two hands together
And express a dash of sorrow
Marinate it overnight
And work on it tomorrow.


Chop one grudge in tiny pieces
Add several cups of love
Dredge with a large sized smile
Mix with the ingredients above.


Dissolve the hate within you,
By doing a good deed
Cut in and help your friend
If he should be in need.


Stir in laughter, love and kindness
From the heart it has to come,
Toss with genuine forgiveness
And give your neighbor some

The amount of people served
Will depend on you,
It can serve the whole wide world,
If you really want it to.

♥ - Things To Ponder - ♥





Things To Ponder


The best way to get even is to forget.

 

 Feed your faith and your doubts
 will starve to death..



 God wants spiritual fruit,
 not religious nuts..



 Some folks wear their halos
 much too tight...



 Unless you can create the WHOLE 
universe in 5 days, Then perhaps giving
 "advice" to God, isn't such a good idea!



 Sorrow looks back,
 worry looks around, 
and faith looks up...



 Standing in the middle of the road
 is dangerous. You will get knocked
 down by the traffic from both ways.



Words are windows to the heart.



 It isn't difficult to make a mountain
 out of a molehill just add a little dirt.



 A successful marriage isn't finding the
 right person-it's being the right person.



The mighty oak tree was once 
a little nut that held its ground.



 To forgive is to set the prisoner free,
and then discover the prisoner was you.



 You have to wonder about humans, 
they think God is dead and Elvis is alive!



You'll notice that a turtle only makes
 progress when it sticks out its neck...



 If the grass is greener on the other 
side of the fence, 
you can bet the water bill is higher.



Keep smiling!
And...if you see someone's missing one....
give them one of yours!




 "In life, there are only two things to worry about, 
Either you are well, or you are sick. 

If you are well, there is nothing to worry about, 
But if you are sick, you have two things to worry about;
Either 
you will live, or you will die. 

If you live, there is nothing to worry about, 
If you die, you have two things to worry about; 
Either you will go to heaven or to hell. 

If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about,
But if you go to hell, 
You'll be so busy shaking hands with your friends,
You won't have time to worry!"
