A Poem About Our Girlfriends
Someone will always be prettier.  
Someone will always be smarter.  
Some of their houses will be bigger..  
Some will drive a better car.  
Their children will do better in school.  
And their husband will fix more things around the house.  
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
The most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
The richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes~ might be lonely.
And the Word says, 'If I have not Love, I am nothing..' So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,
'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too
Anointed to be Disappointed!'
'Winners make things happen~~ Losers let things happen.'
Be 'Blessed' Ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
'To the world you might be one person, to me you are special!

Yellow (lyrics)
Songwriters: Berryman, Guy; Buckland, Jon; Champion,
Will; Martin, Christopher Antho;

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'

So then I took my time
Oh what a thing to've done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry

It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for

Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Each year he sent her roses,
And the note would always say,
I love you even more this year,
Than last year on this day.
My love for you will always grow,
With every passing year.'

She knew this was the last time
That the roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered roses
In advance before this day.
Her loving husband did not know,
That he would pass away.
He always liked to do things early,
Way before the time.
Then, if he got too busy,
Everything would work out fine.

She trimmed the stems and
Placed them in a very special vase.
Then, sat the vase beside
The portrait of his smiling face.

She would sit for hours,
In her husband's favorite chair..
While staring at his picture,
And the roses sitting there.

A year went by, and it was hard
To live without her mate.
With loneliness and solitude,
That had become her fate.

Then, the very hour,
The doorbell rang, and there
Were roses sitting by her door.

She brought the roses in,
And then just looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the telephone,
To call the florist shop.

The owner answered, and she asked him,
If he would explain, Why would someone would
do this to her, causing her such pain?

'I know your husband passed away,
More than a year ago,'
The owner said,
'I knew you'd call, and you would want to know.'

The flowers you received today,
Were paid for in advance.
Your husband always planned ahead,
He left nothing to chance.
There is a standing order,
That I have on file down here,
And he has paid, well in advance,
You'll get them every year

There also is another thing,
That I think you should know,

He wrote a special little card...he did this years ago.
Then, should ever I find out that he's no longer here,
that's the card that should be sent to you the following year.'

She thanked him and hung up the phone,
her tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking,
As she slowly reached to get the card.

Inside the card, she saw that he
Had written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total silence,

This is what he wrote...
'Hello my love, I know it's been a year
Since I've been gone.
I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to Overcome.
I know it must be lonely,
And the pain is very real.
Or if it was the other way,
I know how I would feel.

The love we shared made everything
So beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words can say,
You were the perfect wife.
You were my friend and lover,
You fulfilled my every need.
I know it's only been a year,
But please try not to grieve.
I want you to be happy,
Even when you shed your tears.

That is why the roses will be sent to you for years
When you get these roses,
Think of all the happiness that we had together,
And how both of us were blessed.

I have always loved you and
I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on,
You have some living still.

Please...try to find happiness,
While living out your days.
I know it is not easy,
But I hope you find some ways...

The roses will come every year,
And they will only stop,
When your door's not answered,
When the florist stops to knock.

He will come five times that day,
In case! You have gone out.
But after his last visit,
He will know without a doubt!
To take the roses to the place,
Where I've instructed him
And place the roses where we are,
Together once again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life
Just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh
Until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe
That there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you
That there really is an unlocked door
Just waiting for you to open it.
