Love Quotes 606
Love is not a matter of finding the right person
but rather creating the right relationship.
The important question is not how much love there is at the beginning
but how much there is at the end.
Sometimes no matter how secure you are in someone's arms
and no matter how tightly you hold on to this person's hand,
you'll find yourself falling...dangerously in love with someone else.
There are some who catch our site and only few who touch our hearts.
Look into your heart and pursue the person you love
for it's better to risk than just let love pass you by.
When everything seems to be unfair, when all that you do isn't appreciated,
I'll take your hand, wipe away your tears,
take you for a walk and tell you everything will be fine.
Sometimes in life you find a special friend.
Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh till you can't stop.
Someone who holds your hand and never lets you go alone.
In the end, TIME is your best teacher...
It made you learn all these things in life...
but rather creating the right relationship.

Love Quotes 404
Someday, someone might come into your life
And love you in a way you always wanted.
If your someday was yesterday, LEARN;
If your someday is tomorrow, HOPE;
If your someday is today, CHERISH.
Let go of the hand of the person you love,
But don't let go of God's hand.
For when you hold on to His hand,
He may be holding the person you love on the other hand,
To let you hold each other again.
Why do people say loving too much makes you stupid?
It's because you'll always be wrong even if you're right.
You're weak even if you're strong.
You give without receiving.
You cry, get pains but still say you're happy.
How would you know if you've fallen in love real hard?
It's when someone hurts you and you love him still.
Then he hurts you again to find out
That you love him even more...
We only have one heart,
But there are many places in it
Wherein we keep every person we meet.
Somebody whom we know
We might never meet again,
But will never be forgotten.
Your friends are like buttons on the elevator.
They will either bring you up or take you down.
Choose the people you want to call friends,
But be sure to get yourself on the right floor.
If you're afraid to love a person
Because of friendship, you have two choices;
Either tell what you feel and let love take its place
Or forever hide the feeling under a friendship full of pretenses.
It's best to wait for the one you want
Than settle for the one available.
Best to wait for the one you love
Than the one who's around.
Best to wait for the right one
'Cause life's too short
To be wasted on just someone.
If you feel love, don't lose a grip on it,
You'll never know the one you let go
Was the one you waited for all your life.
We can never understand joy till we feel sorrow,
Faith till we're tested,
Peace till we're faced with conflicts,
Trust till we're betrayed,
And love till it's gone.
And love you in a way you always wanted.
If your someday was yesterday, LEARN;
If your someday is tomorrow, HOPE;
If your someday is today, CHERISH.
Let go of the hand of the person you love,
But don't let go of God's hand.
For when you hold on to His hand,
He may be holding the person you love on the other hand,
To let you hold each other again.
Why do people say loving too much makes you stupid?
It's because you'll always be wrong even if you're right.
You're weak even if you're strong.
You give without receiving.
You cry, get pains but still say you're happy.
How would you know if you've fallen in love real hard?

Love Quotes 707
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,
But what is more painful is
To love someone and never find the courage
To let that person know how you feel.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
Before meeting the right one
So that when we finally meet the right person,
We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Love is when you take away the feeling,
The passion, and the romance in a relationship
And find out you still care for that person.
A sad thing in life is when
You meet someone who means a lot to you,
Only to find out in the end
That it was never meant to be
And you just have to let go.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens
But often times we look so long at the closed door
That we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind
You can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word, and then walk away
Feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love
Is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
There are things you'd love to hear
That you would never hear from the person
Whom you would like to hear them from,
But don't be so deaf as not to hear it
From the one who says it from his heart.
Never say goodbye if you still want to try.
Never give up if you still feel you can go on.
Never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go.
Love comes to those who still hope
Although they've been disappointed -
To those who still believe, although they've been betrayed,
To those who still need to love, although they've been hurt before,
And to those who have the courage and faith to build trust again.
Love Forever
Forever Forgive
And Love Again.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone.
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
Because it takes only a smile
To make a dark day seem bright.
Believe you'll find the one that makes you smile.
Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life and one chance
To do all the things you want to do.
Love begins with a smile,
Grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
OR...
Love begins with a smile,
Endures with a kiss, and dies with a tear.
But what is more painful is
To love someone and never find the courage
To let that person know how you feel.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
Before meeting the right one
So that when we finally meet the right person,
We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Love is when you take away the feeling,
The passion, and the romance in a relationship
And find out you still care for that person.
A sad thing in life is when
You meet someone who means a lot to you,
Only to find out in the end
That it was never meant to be
And you just have to let go.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens
But often times we look so long at the closed door
That we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind
You can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word, and then walk away
Feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love
Is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
There are things you'd love to hear
That you would never hear from the person
Whom you would like to hear them from,
But don't be so deaf as not to hear it
From the one who says it from his heart.
Never say goodbye if you still want to try.
Never give up if you still feel you can go on.
Never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go.
Love comes to those who still hope
Although they've been disappointed -
To those who still believe, although they've been betrayed,
To those who still need to love, although they've been hurt before,
And to those who have the courage and faith to build trust again.
Love Forever
Forever Forgive
And Love Again.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone.
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
Because it takes only a smile
To make a dark day seem bright.
Believe you'll find the one that makes you smile.
Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life and one chance
To do all the things you want to do.
Love begins with a smile,
Grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
OR...
Love begins with a smile,
Endures with a kiss, and dies with a tear.
Love Quotes 202
Learn to love the people who are with you at present.
Forget the people in the past and thank them for hurting you,
Which led you to love the people you have right now.
When you love someone, you'll do crazy things you can't explain,
You'll deny the truth and believe in lies.
When you love someone, you sacrifice,
Give everything you've got and don't think twice.
You risk it all no matter what.
Everything in life is temporary because everything changes.
That is why it takes courage to love,
Knowing it might end anytime...
Having faith will make it last.
Friends are not the one who laughs when you laugh
And cry when you cry.
They are the ones who make you laugh
And stop you from crying.
Love is the feeling we fall in and out of,
And every time we fall off,
We learn to hold on tighter...
Hoping that next time,
We may never have to let go.
They say when love knocks at your door, open it.
But do you know that
Sometimes love enters through the back door
And before you begin to notice it,
It's on its way out.
Have you ever loved only to let it go?
Have you ever hated someone and loved him so?
Have you ever missed someone so bad it made you cry?
Have you ever seen someone left alone without knowing why?
True: Lucky is the man who wins the first love of a woman
But luckier is the woman who wins the last love of a man.
Love is not the right word to say when you feel guilty
Nor the right word to say when you like a person but
Love really matters when we share our thoughts,
Our minds and our hearts...
Life has a way of changing things
But not the joy that friendship brings,
For friendship is like the shining moon,
Makes each night a brighter one.

Love Quotes 505
Love is not a matter of finding the right person
But rather creating the right relationship.
The important question is
Not how much love there is at the beginning
But how much there is at the end.
Sometimes no matter how secure you are in someone's arms
And no matter how tightly you hold on to this person's hand,
You'll find yourself falling...dangerously
In love with someone else...
There are some who catch our site
And only few who touch our hearts.
Look into your heart
And pursue the person you love
For it's better to risk
Than just let love pass you by.
When everything seems to be unfair,
When all that you do isn't appreciated,
I'll take your hand,
Wipe away your tears,
Take you for a walk
And tell you everything will be fine.
Sometimes in life you find a special friend.
Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh till you can't stop.
Someone who holds your hand and never lets you go alone.
In the end, TIME is your best teacher.
It made you learn all these things in life...
But rather creating the right relationship.

Love Quotes 303
Love is not for beauty or color of the skin,
But for a heart that is loyal within,
For beauty fades and the skin would grow old
But a heart that is loyal will never turn cold.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
Forgive them for they have helped you learn
About trust and the importance of being cautious
To whom you open your heart.
A love is easy to feel, so hard to explain;
So easy to get, so hard to let go;
So easy to spell, so hard to define...
And yet everyone is still taking the risk. That's love!
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in love
In mutual weirdness and call it LOVE!
Never be afraid to fall in love.
It may hurt a lot,
It may give you aches and pain,
But if you don't follow your heart;
In the end you will cry even more
For not giving love a chance.
Don't run ahead of God.
Let Him direct your steps.
He has plans and He has His time.
God's clock is never one minute early
Nor one minute late.
It always strikes right on time.
If someone loves you,
Love them back not only because they love you,
But also because they are teaching you to love
And opening your heart and eyes
To things you have never seen or felt without them.
The past is meant to be used as a tool for the future.
Bad experiences indeed make you bitter
But the lessons learned should make you better.
On letting go:
It hurts to see someone you love
Happy with somebody else;
But wouldn't it hurt you more
To see that person unhappy...with you?
When you find arms that will hold you at your weakest,
Eyes that will see you at your ugliest,
Lips that will kiss you in both instances,
And a heart that will love you at your worst,
Then you have found true love.
But for a heart that is loyal within,
For beauty fades and the skin would grow old
But a heart that is loyal will never turn cold.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
Forgive them for they have helped you learn
About trust and the importance of being cautious
To whom you open your heart.

So easy to get, so hard to let go;
So easy to spell, so hard to define...

Relevance of Loving Someone
It is NOT TRUE that you are not perfect
And that your special someone is not perfect either
What is important is, that you are PERFECT for each other...
~~~~
Once you say I LOVE YOU to a person
You automatically give that person
The right or authority to HURT YOU....
~~~~
Remember that the BEST RELATIONSHIP
Is when you LOVE each other...
Love is STANDING IN not FALLING FOR
It is primarily GIVING not RECEIVING
It is by giving ones life with JOY, INTEREST,
UNDERSTANDING, HUMOR KNOWLEDGE
And of course SADNESS...
~~~~
Don't waste your time WAITING for SOMEONE
Who never really loved of what you have are felt
But OPEN your HEART AGAIN
And GIVE YOURSELF the chance to find someone
Who would make the PAIN and SACRIFICE
Of your LOVE WORTH!...
~~~~
Remember, IF we LOSE LOVE we LOSE it for a REASON
That reason may be TOO HARD
But whatever it is we just have TO BELIEVE
That GOD takes AWAY where HE give us
Someone better...

"I've honestly tried to let YOU GO,
I've honestly tried to FORGET YOU,
I've honestly tried not to THINK OF YOU,

I've honestly don't want to."

Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener!

but you always come up with the answer..., No reason!
Do you believe in this quote?...
If two past lovers remain friends,
it's either they are still in love
or
they never were..
In love With You
"There's a light in your eyes and it's too bright to see,
The pain in my heart where you used to be.
There's a light in your eyes and it's too bright to see,
There's a light in your eyes but no longer for me"

1.
Don't turn your back to love when it's already in front of you.
Don't drive it away from you,
Because if you do, someday, you'll think again,
Why you let love flew when it was there next to you.
2.
In love, think things first over if you're sure about how you feel.
Don't fall too hard not knowing where you will stand,
'Coz it will hurt real bad if things don't go the way you want them to be.
3.
It's an irony to know that it takes hours
For someone to have guts to say "hi" to the one she likes,
Days to admire, weeks to miss the person,
Months to love, but just a blink of an eye to say goodbye...
4.
Go for the person who loves you.
It is not wrong to love someone who belongs to someone else,
But it is much better to love someone
Who could also love you in return.
5.
Love isn't something we hold,
It is something we set free.
It's not something we just do,
But it's something we don't imagine to be.
Lastly, it's not something we choose, it chooses us...
6.
The scariest thing about falling in love is getting hurt.
The scariest thing about getting hurt
Is not being able to love again.
The scariest thing about not loving again is being alone forever.
7.
When you follow your heart, worry not where it will lead you,
For your heart knows the way.
And if you do get lost or reach a dead end,
Use your head to lead you back home.
8.
When you truly care for someone,
You don't look for faults,
You don't look for answers,
You don't look for mistakes.
Instead, you fight for the mistakes,
You accept the faults,
And you overlook excuses.
9.
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
Than lose your loved one to your useless pride.
10.
Love is ...
Not "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry",
Not "where are you?", but "I'm here",
Not "how could you?", but "I understand",
Not "I wish you were here", but "I'm thankful you are."
11.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves,
And not twist with our own image.
Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
12.
If a relationship is truly meant for you,
Your love will find a way to make it happen,
And God will be there to make sure it will stay .
"We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives."
The pain in my heart where you used to be.
There's a light in your eyes and it's too bright to see,
There's a light in your eyes but no longer for me"

The Dash: Making a Difference With Your Life
I read a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning... to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke of the following date with tears.
But he said what mattered most of all...
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents
All the time that she spent alive on earth.
And only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars... the house... the cash...
What matters is how we live and love...
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real...
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives...
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile...
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

When People Come Into Our Lives
Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away
that they were meant to be there,
to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson,
or to help you figure out who you are
or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be
(possibly your roommate, neighbor,
coworker, long lost friend, lover,
or even a complete stranger),
but when you lock eyes with them,
you know at that very moment
they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you
that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first,
but in reflection you find
that without overcoming those obstacles
you would have never realized
your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love,
lost moments of true greatness,
and sheer stupidity all
occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests,
whatever they may be,
life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere.
It would be safe and comfortable,
but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life,
and the success and downfalls you experience,
help to create who you are and who you become.
Bad experiences can be learned from.
In fact, they are probably
the most poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart,
forgive them, for they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being cautious
when you open your heart.
If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you,
but because in a way,
they are teaching you to love
and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment
and take from those moments
everything that you possibly can
for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people
that you have never talked to before,
and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love,
break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up
because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual
and believe in yourself,
for if you don't believe in yourself;
it will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make your life anything you wish.
Create your own life
and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly...
If you love someone tell him or her,
for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
That's the story of life.

Do Not Forget Your Past, Learn From It
Far away in the distant past
lie the memories of things that once
were and how they have affected who we are today.
We regret the things we did not do and wish
that we could change the things we did wrong.
We should look to the future instead.
We end up waiting our lives in remorse
and pass right by all the good things
that are happening in the present.
If we look toward the future,
we are sure to find at least some happiness
that will make our lives worthwhile.
You can find comfort
in the thoughts and actions of those around you.
They will help you, get through the rough times
and also rejoice with you
when things are good.

and things might seem wrong,
stick to your virtues.

Inspiring Angel Poems
Friendship Angel
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, "Everything will be just fine"
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue...
Thanks for being my Angel my friend
I will be there for you until the end.
*******************************
My Guardian Angel
By Cindy Mock
Angels are all around us, most of us know this.
Some are too cynical or busy to notice.
Some think they just have wings and fly.
But others don't even question why.
They look like you and me. They all have a purpose.
They are only here to guide us and serve us.
How many times have we said, "That was close!"
And went on to feel depressed and morose?
We never even thought of how lucky we are
To have these angels provide us with care.
So next time you see the beggar on the street
Remember to greet him and be real sweet
For it just might be a test from God
To see how loving you'll be to this sot.
So get in your car or catch the bus
But please don't forget whose watching over us.
Thank them and cherish them and give them the praise
And you will be blessed the rest of your days
*******************************
Guardian Angel My Favorite Friend
By Sharon Carson
Guardian Angel My Favorite Friend!
I look to you from morning until daylight end!
From the heavens I call on you
To watch over me and the little ones!
With each day I feel your presence.
I know you are right beside me.
I know when I feel lost, you guide!
I know when I feel lonely, you hope!
I know you give me strength to do my deeds!
It is in you Dear Angel That I believe!
So when you are going to sleep each night,
Remember to Thank Your Guardian Angel
For guiding you to Heavens Light!

My Special Angel
By Shoney Winstead
She's always watching over me,
I feel her presence near,
She's always here to listen,
And guide me through my fears.
She's a very special angel,
One God choose just for me,
She was once my Mom here on earth,
But that wasn't long to be.
God called her home one night,
My fear and rage did see the,
If He were a loving God,
Why take my Mom from me.
But in time I saw the plan,
He unveiled for me to see,
He had taken my Mom away,
But He gave her back to me.
There was only one thing different,
About this wondrous thing,
She just traded her faded house-dress,
For a halo and snow white wings.
*******************************
Dear Child
As I lay in bed at night.
I question the Universe with all my heart and might.
Somewhere between deep and dreaming.
A sweet sound of an angel came in streaming.
Dear Child. Who am I? You often do ask.
I am the voice of all souls present and past.
I am the spirit who saunters in the breeze.
I am the sun that shines brightly with little effort and ease.
I am you, I am me. I am us. I am we...
I am the woman you see in the mirror.
I am the man you yearn to be nearer.
I am the voice of the wind, soft and shrilling.
I am the sweet sounding music of water trickling.
I am the embrace of our Earth Mother.
I am the love of our Heavenly Father.
I am you, I am me. I am us. I am we...
During the gentle rain, I am the water that nourishes every living thing.
Even in the coldest of hearts. I am the fire that burns...
Never still from dusk to dark.
Dear child of ours, theirs and mine.
Don't be shy to ask. When? How? Or why?
Some questions will go unanswered even as hard as you try.
And some answers forever unquestioned with every breath and sigh.
You are always the teacher and forever the student.
Never ever be afraid to ask and comment...
I am you, I am me. I am us. I am we...
As the eagle saunters through the sky, he never asks where or why.
When dreams seem further than the stars above...
Fill your heart with songs of laughter and love.
Forever and ever since time began... All that is and is that am,
It's every bit a part of our wondrous God's plan.

The Angels are Here
By Allison Morgan
The Angels are here,
I heard my Dad say.
There are three on the roof
They're not leaving today.
There is one very tall one
And one to each side,
Could they possibly be my guides?
Go and get my glasses so I can see.
I think the angels Are here for me.
Though IM afraid, I will go even though
I know you will be missing me so.
I need a white balloon that I can ride.
To fly with the angels across the sky.
Remember I Love You, and it was all not in vain.
My name has been written and gone is my pain.
*******************************
I Never Saw Your Wings
By Michele
How is it that I never saw your wings
When you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
To the Heavens I could hear the
Faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
Your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
Surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
Mother my angel God has given you your assignment
Always my mother forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
The tears I shed since I can no longer hold
You in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear mother
And you will always be me angel eternal.
*******************************
Where Are You My Angel
By Helyn Kent
Where are you my angel
I need you desperately
I need your help and guidance
I am in terrible despair.
Where are you my angel
I'm calling out to you
Dear angel, show me what to do.
Where are you my angel
Life seems to pass me by
I'm crying out for help
Please show me the way.
Where are you my angel
I know you're hovering near,
Just give me a little shove
I know that you can hear.
Where are you my angel
I'm asking, show me the way
Let me in your wisdom share.
*******************************
Angels Dressed in White
By Libby Garrett
As I was dreaming one night,
I saw Angels dressed in white.
Flying slowly through the air,
The Angels were saying a prayer.
Bless this one dear Lord,
One day she will get her reward.
She will receive her Angel wings,
And join us as we sing.
She will be a strong one you see,
With her wings she will be free.
To find the one who needs her most,
This new Angel will stay very close.
To help and guide them through,
Could this Angel be for you?
*******************************
Angels in My Sky
By Sedric Clark
I once, long ago, saw an angel in my sky.
An angel that my life has now been touched by.
She caught my eye with loving stare.
I looked into hers, such a beautiful glare.
She enters my path when danger is near,
To show me a new route away from all fear.
With her wings of white and her halo of blue.
I'm not alone with her, she watches over you too.
She is our angel guardian, angel of the city.
For eyes too blind to see, I do so pity.
She's come from the sky, yet she never touches the ground.
She can sing to your heart without making a sound.
The angel delivers our messages of prayer to the king.
His love and grace back to you, is what she will bring.
And by the way, for what it's worth,
You can be sure she has been with us all since birth.
My little message to my fellow mankind.
Keep her by your side, don't ever leave her behind.

An Angel Walks Beside Me
By Tonya Moneck
An angel walks beside me,
I feel him everyday,
He helps me through lives ups and downs,
And whatever comes my way.
He guides me down the road of life,
And lights the darkest roads,
He picks me up and carries me,
When I can not bear the load.
He helps to ease the pain I feel,
He mends my spirit, too,
He holds my hand, and shelters me,
And gives me courage and strength, too.
He speaks to me with words of love,
And he listens to my pleas,
He was sent here from the lord above,
To guide and comfort me.
I know he's always watching,
Though his form I can not see,
It's a peace I feel deep in my heart,
That leads me to believe.
An angel walks beside me,
I feel blessed everyday,
That the presence of this angel,
Will never go away.

An Angel of the Lord
By Stan "Rocky" Rogers
An Angel of the Lord does walk,
The mission chose by Him,
Walking towards the one God chose,
Whose life has now turned grim.
Waits all so true,
An Angel of the Lord does walk,
Fulfilling ordained commission,
Are you the one know not how,
Nor know us when,
Nor what, but only why,
God desires for us to know,
He hears our mournful cry.
Some behold angelic sights,
And marvel at God's hand,
Some receive the unexplained,
Deliverance He's planned.
Just know when least expected that,
You may behold one day,
An Angel of the Lord, that's come,
To keep ill fate at bay.
It matters not, if none believe,
Nor what, one says to you,
For when your eyes behold God's Help,
You'll know who's now in need?
God honors true contrition.

I Have a Friendly Angel
By DeAnna Carter
I have a friendly angel that lives here with me,
She's about as friendly as an angel can be.
She watches o'er my footsteps and guides me down the path,
That is best for me to go, to avoid God's wrath!
She loves to be warm and cozy and comfortable it seems,
She even likes to watch TV and be part of my dreams.
She's sometimes loud and noisy in the middle of the night,
Strange sounds we hear, we can't explain, when she comes 'round at night.
She protects this household from unseen dangers I know,
She's always there to help me out, when 'er I'm feeling low.
She goes with me in my car, on trips wherever I go,
I always take her with me, she's there, this I know!
Now some of you may think I'm really out in the cold!
Others may say, she sure sounds mighty bold!
But, consider it from my point of view, if you take the time,
Wouldn't you rather have an Angel, than think you're losing your mind?
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, "Everything will be just fine"
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.
An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue...
Thanks for being my Angel my friend
I will be there for you until the end.
*******************************
My Guardian Angel
By Cindy Mock
Angels are all around us, most of us know this.
Some are too cynical or busy to notice.
Some think they just have wings and fly.
But others don't even question why.
They look like you and me. They all have a purpose.
They are only here to guide us and serve us.
How many times have we said, "That was close!"
And went on to feel depressed and morose?
We never even thought of how lucky we are
To have these angels provide us with care.
So next time you see the beggar on the street
Remember to greet him and be real sweet
For it just might be a test from God
To see how loving you'll be to this sot.
So get in your car or catch the bus
But please don't forget whose watching over us.
Thank them and cherish them and give them the praise
And you will be blessed the rest of your days
*******************************
Guardian Angel My Favorite Friend
By Sharon Carson
Guardian Angel My Favorite Friend!
I look to you from morning until daylight end!
From the heavens I call on you
To watch over me and the little ones!
With each day I feel your presence.
I know you are right beside me.
I know when I feel lost, you guide!
I know when I feel lonely, you hope!
I know you give me strength to do my deeds!
It is in you Dear Angel That I believe!
So when you are going to sleep each night,
Remember to Thank Your Guardian Angel
For guiding you to Heavens Light!

My Special Angel
By Shoney Winstead
She's always watching over me,
I feel her presence near,
She's always here to listen,
And guide me through my fears.
She's a very special angel,
One God choose just for me,
She was once my Mom here on earth,
But that wasn't long to be.
God called her home one night,
My fear and rage did see the,
If He were a loving God,
Why take my Mom from me.
But in time I saw the plan,
He unveiled for me to see,
He had taken my Mom away,
But He gave her back to me.
There was only one thing different,
About this wondrous thing,
She just traded her faded house-dress,
For a halo and snow white wings.
*******************************
Dear Child
As I lay in bed at night.
I question the Universe with all my heart and might.
Somewhere between deep and dreaming.
A sweet sound of an angel came in streaming.
Dear Child. Who am I? You often do ask.
I am the voice of all souls present and past.
I am the spirit who saunters in the breeze.
I am the sun that shines brightly with little effort and ease.
I am you, I am me. I am us. I am we...
I am the woman you see in the mirror.
I am the man you yearn to be nearer.
I am the voice of the wind, soft and shrilling.
I am the sweet sounding music of water trickling.
I am the embrace of our Earth Mother.
I am the love of our Heavenly Father.
I am you, I am me. I am us. I am we...
During the gentle rain, I am the water that nourishes every living thing.
Even in the coldest of hearts. I am the fire that burns...
Never still from dusk to dark.
Dear child of ours, theirs and mine.
Don't be shy to ask. When? How? Or why?
Some questions will go unanswered even as hard as you try.
And some answers forever unquestioned with every breath and sigh.
You are always the teacher and forever the student.
Never ever be afraid to ask and comment...
I am you, I am me. I am us. I am we...
As the eagle saunters through the sky, he never asks where or why.
When dreams seem further than the stars above...
Fill your heart with songs of laughter and love.
Forever and ever since time began... All that is and is that am,
It's every bit a part of our wondrous God's plan.

The Angels are Here
By Allison Morgan
The Angels are here,
I heard my Dad say.
There are three on the roof
They're not leaving today.
There is one very tall one
And one to each side,
Could they possibly be my guides?
Go and get my glasses so I can see.
I think the angels Are here for me.
Though IM afraid, I will go even though
I know you will be missing me so.
I need a white balloon that I can ride.
To fly with the angels across the sky.
Remember I Love You, and it was all not in vain.
My name has been written and gone is my pain.
*******************************
I Never Saw Your Wings
By Michele
How is it that I never saw your wings
When you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
To the Heavens I could hear the
Faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
Your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
Surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
Mother my angel God has given you your assignment
Always my mother forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
The tears I shed since I can no longer hold
You in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear mother
And you will always be me angel eternal.
*******************************
Where Are You My Angel
By Helyn Kent
Where are you my angel
I need you desperately
I need your help and guidance
I am in terrible despair.
Where are you my angel
I'm calling out to you
Dear angel, show me what to do.
Where are you my angel
Life seems to pass me by
I'm crying out for help
Please show me the way.
Where are you my angel
I know you're hovering near,
Just give me a little shove
I know that you can hear.
Where are you my angel
I'm asking, show me the way
Let me in your wisdom share.

Angels Dressed in White
By Libby Garrett
As I was dreaming one night,
I saw Angels dressed in white.
Flying slowly through the air,
The Angels were saying a prayer.
Bless this one dear Lord,
One day she will get her reward.
She will receive her Angel wings,
And join us as we sing.
She will be a strong one you see,
With her wings she will be free.
To find the one who needs her most,
This new Angel will stay very close.
To help and guide them through,
Could this Angel be for you?

Angels in My Sky
By Sedric Clark
I once, long ago, saw an angel in my sky.
An angel that my life has now been touched by.
She caught my eye with loving stare.
I looked into hers, such a beautiful glare.
She enters my path when danger is near,
To show me a new route away from all fear.
With her wings of white and her halo of blue.
I'm not alone with her, she watches over you too.
She is our angel guardian, angel of the city.
For eyes too blind to see, I do so pity.
She's come from the sky, yet she never touches the ground.
She can sing to your heart without making a sound.

Life Ain't a Score
Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans
This weekend or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating,
Who you used to date,
How many people you've dated,
Or if you haven't been
With anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed.
It's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is
Or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful
Or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear,
What shoes you have on,
Or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde,
Red, black, or brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get,
How smart you are,
How smart everybody else thinks you are,
Or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in
Or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being
On a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept"
The written you.
LIFE JUST ISN'T!
But, life is about who you love
And who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy
Or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used
As a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean,
Maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and
Contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored
With full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear,
Ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
Letting it grow, and spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using your life
To touch or poison other people's
Hearts in such a way that could
Have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way
Those hearts are affected,
And those choices are
What life's all about.
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans
This weekend or if you're alone.

Prayer For My Computer
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head.
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do,
Hope you don't mind me asking
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends,
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you,
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits send.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com.
Amen.

The Greatest Pain in Life
The greatest pain in life is not to die, but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so much
To another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care about so much throw a party
And not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth
Neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.
The greatest pain in life, is not to die, but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend, just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts
And they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be too busy to console you
When you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person who cares about you, is you.
Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other,
And make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to playing this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends you will not be punished.
You will simply be ignored... forgotten... as you have done to others.

A Life That Matters
Ready or not, some day will die, all will come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten,
Will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and
Jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from,
Or on what side of the tracks you lived at the end.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;
not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity,
Compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched,
Empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew,
But how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered,
By whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten,
Will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and
Jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity,
Compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched,
Empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

Boogie Through Life
Don't cry because it's over...
Smile because it happened.
Pain and Suffering is inevitable...
But Misery is optional.
Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow is a mystery...
Today is a gift...
That's why it's called The Present.
A good exercise for the heart
Is to bend down and help another up.
Life is what you make of it...
Kinda like Play-Doh
The bubbling brook would lose its song
If you removed the rocks.
Happiness comes through doors
You didn't even know you left open.
Everything is always okay in the end,
If it's not, then it's not the end.
A girl on the street pointing up at the sky says: "Look, an Angel!"
Passersby laugh: "You fool, that is only a cloud."
How wonderful to see Angels where there are only clouds.
How sad to see clouds where there are Angels.
Here's a test to find if your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.
So be happy!
Don't let anything burst your balloon!
Boogie through life!
Smile because it happened.
Pain and Suffering is inevitable...
But Misery is optional.
Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow is a mystery...
Today is a gift...

How sad to see clouds where there are Angels.
Here's a test to find if your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.
So be happy!
Don't let anything burst your balloon!
Boogie through life!
Looking for a Sign from God
When looking for a sign from God
Sometimes we cannot see;
The road He's chosen for our path
Is still a mystery.
Start looking with your heart
Instead of with your eyes,
And what was once a mystery
Will no longer be disguised.
For with Him there is no limit
There's nothing He can't do,
The words "what if" do not belong
When He shows His signs to you.
His sign may be a similar thought
An action, word or deed
That you thought about and carried out
To someone else in need.
His sign may be two hearts
That seem to beat as one
Like dark clouds moved away
By the rising of the sun.
When someone puts a limit
On distance, time or space
The signs cannot be seen
Of His Amazing Grace.
So when searching for a sign from God
Be sure to always know,
God gives you confirmation
Of where He wants you to go.

When I am an Old Woman
By Jenny Joseph
I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and a pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple.
I shall wear purple

When a Boy Makes a Girl Jealous
A boy and a girl, the best of friends.
From elementary to high school from beginning to end.
Through all those years their friendship grew.
They both felt the same,
but neither knew.
Each waking moment since the day they met.
They both loved each other sunrise to sunset.
He was all she had.
He was the one who kept her from her knife.
She was his angel, she made him smile.
Though life threw him curves,
she made it all worth while.
Then one day things went terribly wrong.
The next few weeks were like a very sad song.
He made her jealous on purpose he tried.
When the girl asked, "Do you love her?" on purpose he lied.
He played with jealousy like it was a game.
Little did he know things would never be the same.
His plan was working,
but he had no clue.
How wrong things would go,
the damage he would do.
One night she broke down, feeling very alone.
Just her and the blade,
no one else home.
She dialed his number,
he answered, "Hello"
She told him she loved him
and hung up the phone.
He raced to her house
just a minute too late.
Found her lying in blood,
her heart had no rate.
Beside her was a note,
in it her confession.
Her love for this boy,
her only obsession.
As he read the note,
he knelt down and cried.
Grabbed her knife,
that night they both died.
She was found in his arms,
both of them dead.
Under her note his handwriting said:
"I loved her so, she never knew.
All this time I loved her, too."

Something
And so it came to be
This isolation that I am
I can only look to me
To find the way it all began -
This confusion,
Constant hunger for something more than this
I strive to find this being that I envision,
Yet seem to miss.
Could it be that I am empty -
Or maybe a little lost?
Could it be that I am lonely,
Or seek happiness at any cost?
This never-ending something
That I am living deep inside,
Depicts the illusion of myself
And all I have to hide.
This isolation that I am
I can only look to me
To find the way it all began -
This confusion,
Constant hunger for something more than this
I strive to find this being that I envision,
Yet seem to miss.
Could it be that I am empty -
Or maybe a little lost?
Could it be that I am lonely,
Or seek happiness at any cost?
This never-ending something
That I am living deep inside,
Depicts the illusion of myself
And all I have to hide.
I Love You
I wish I could hate you
I heard our song on the radio today.
It made me cry...
It made me hurt...
It used to make me happy..
It used to make me smile..
YOU used to make me smile.
What happened to what we had?
What happened to us?
You went one way and I went the other.
I tried to call for you, I tried to follow you...
But you turned the other way..
Oh my love, oh my soul mate
I told you I loved you..
I gave you everything I had.
I gave you my life.
I cared about you more then I fucking cared about myself.
I look at your pictures.
I read your letters.
I listen to our songs.
I think of you.
I WISH I COULD HATE YOU.
It would be so much easier.
Why did you have to care?
Why did you have to be the only one that was ever there?
I'M NOTHING WITHOUT YOU.
I wish I could hate you.
But I can't, I love you.

I'm Setting You Free
Do me a favor
While you're breaking my heart
Walk away quickly
Don't tear my world apart
Don't look at me
Just turn and walk away
Don't want you to
Remember me this way..
Thanks for your time
And for your love..
Its over now
And my world is now through..
Turn away quickly
Hurry before I cry
Don't you realize
You were the love of my life...?!
Evil and heartless
You leave me so scorned..
Shattered and broken
So I lay and mourn
Turn your face
Don't look this way
Just leave me now
If its better that way..
Why do you stay here?
Do you long to see me here?
Do you want to watch me wither?
And watch my eyes cry?
No! Don't kiss me..
Don't hold me or try to cry..
You cant change your mind now..
Coz you made my heart break and die..
Leave now its over
You've done what you've wanted to do
Yes I still have feelings
And yes I still love you..
So goodbye my love...
Remember me this way..
A strong and stable person
Who loved you until this day..
While you're breaking my heart
Walk away quickly
Don't tear my world apart
Don't look at me
Just turn and walk away
Don't want you to
Remember me this way..
Thanks for your time
And for your love..

Find a Girl
Find a girl who calls you baby faced instead of hot or sexy.
Who can't stand it when you hang up on her and calls right back.
Who would sit there for hours looking into your eyes.
Who doesn't care what you look like, but what's inside counts the most.
Who looks at you with the twinkle in her eyes and kisses you on the cheek instead of the lips.
Wants to be with you in public, even if you wear those old grass stained and ripped pants with the bleached jersey like always.
Wait for the girl who is a constant reminder of your happiness and joy.
Who makes you smile just by knowing she loves you back.
Wait for the girl who you give piggy back rides to in public and she still is in view of her friends, while she gets off and you hear her go: "you're the one for me, for always".

Ones that Stay, Ones that Go
It's kind of funny
When you think about it
The people that walk in your heart
The ones that stay
The ones that go
Some encounters are so quick
And others stay for awhile
The impact may be small
So that you don't even notice a difference
But others you can't forget
Because they changed your direction on the road
There's ones that you may welcome
And hope they make a home
There's ones that make holes
But from that you learn and grow
From my life what I have gathered
Is there are two people I will know
Ones that stay
And ones that go
So, my heart will remain open
And what you choose is up to you
When you think about it
The people that walk in your heart
The ones that stay
The ones that go
Some encounters are so quick
And others stay for awhile
The impact may be small
So that you don't even notice a difference
But others you can't forget
Because they changed your direction on the road
There's ones that you may welcome
And hope they make a home
There's ones that make holes
But from that you learn and grow
From my life what I have gathered
Is there are two people I will know
Ones that stay
And ones that go
So, my heart will remain open
And what you choose is up to you
Winter Moonlight
By Krista J. Mikula
The snow, so peaceful and serene,
Caressed by the soft moonlight,
Gave magical feelings to the night.
The soft blue glow,
The lovers' words that then did flow,
Their lips closer and closer
Until, locked in the throes
Of a passionate embrace,
He decided to express his feelings,
To keep her safe.
He whispered softly,
His words like music to her ears,
"I Love You,"
And her response the same,
Heard like the gentle breeze,
"And I, love you, forever."
That was the night they promised
To be together through everything,
Each to care for the other when old and gray
A lovers' pact
The most likely to last.

Just Give It to a Boy
A heart is not a play thing,
A heart is not a toy,
But if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.
Boys they like to play with things,
To see what makes them run,
But when it comes to kissing,
They do it just for fun.
Boys never give their hearts away
They play us girls for fools,
They wait until we give our hearts,
And then they play it cool.
You will wonder where he is at night,
You will wonder if he's true,
One moment you will be happy,
One moment you will be blue.
If you get a chance to see him,
Your heart begins to dance.
Your life revolves around him,
There's nothing like romance.
And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night.
You see, my friend, you're losing him.
It never turns out right.
Boys are great though immature.
The price you pay is high,
He may seem sweet and gorgeous,
But remember, he's a guy.
Don't fall in love with just a boy.
That takes a lot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve.
Don't fall in love with just a boy.
That takes a lot of nerve.

Love - Reasons Undefined
When you look for it, why can you not find it?
When you stop looking, why does it find you?
When you search for it, why do you do it in all the wrong places?
When you give up, why do you run into it in the most unlikely of places?
When you let go, is it because you love too much
or because you don't love enough?
What brings more pain-loving or leaving?
Is the realization that you no longer pine
for anyone a liberating or lonely feeling?
When romantic relationships spark no interest,
is it because you love yourself too much
or because you love others too little?
When you leave, should you feel dispirited?
Or should you feel invigorated?
When you are left behind, should you feel lost?
Or should you feel emancipated?
When you stop loving, is it the end or the beginning?
When you cling to it, you lose it.
When you avoid it, it tracks you down.
Defining it will confound you.
Coveting, it will destroy you.
But if you can just let it be,
it can be a gift that can be appreciated
for what it is and all that it can bring you.
When you love no matter what, are you brave or are you mad?
When you fall in love, are you blessed or are you cursed?
When you refuse to fall out of love,
are you determined or deranged?
Does love inspire? Or does it drain?
When you are resolute, are you romantic or are you rabid?
Why do people say they love when they don't?
And why do they say they don't when they do?
Why is a declaration of love the hardest of statements to make when it is real?
And the easiest to make when it is false?
Why can a child declare with certainty and without fear, that she is loved?
No matter how many times she has been berated?
Because against conflicting words and actions, repeated denials
and numerous contradictions, love shows itself when it is there.
And even when no words are spoken, much is said.
Why do people love even when they are not loved back?
Why do people love a little, love a lot, love deeply,
love foolishly, love forever, love again?
Why do people love at all? Does love empower?
Or does it enfeeble?
Why do we see something in someone that others don't?
Why do our hearts beat faster for one person against the rest?
Why can we forgive someone for sins we cannot forgive others?
Why do we love someone and not someone else?
As Pascal put it, the heart has its reasons which reason cannot know.
When you stop looking, why does it find you?
When you search for it, why do you do it in all the wrong places?
When you give up, why do you run into it in the most unlikely of places?
