You've Touched My Life

You've touched my life with tenderness
And filled my cup with love.
We've shared our dreams
beyond the stars above.

You took my hand as I grew old
and lead me when I was blind
You showed me that you really cared
Great love is hard to find.

You touched my heart and I touched yours
A little each and every day
And we both found happiness
All along the way.

Just like a rose
So precious and rare
Is our never ending love
The two of us share.

Little Things..,

Little stones make big mountains,
Little steps can cover miles,
Little acts of loving-kindness
Give the world it's biggest smiles...

Little words can soothe big troubles
Little hugs can dry big tears,
Little candles light the darkness,
Little memories last for years...

Little dreams can lead to greatness,
Little victories to success
It's the little things in life
That bring the greatest happiness...

When I think about all the little things,
warm thoughts of my friends come to mind
and all the joy that friendship brings,
always and forever sharing it with you.

Sharing

When we share laughter,
There's twice the fun;
When we share success,
We've surpassed what we've done.

When we share problems,
There's half the pain;
When we share tears,
A rainbow follows rain.

When we share dreams,
They become more real;
When we share secrets,
It's our hearts we reveal.

If we share a smile,
That's when our love shows;
If we share a hug,
That's when our love grows.

If we share with someone
On whom we depend,
That person is always
Family or friend.

And what draws us closer
And makes us all care,
Is not what we have,
But the things we share

~ Jill Wolf ~

"I just don't want you to forget what I've forgiven and forgotten!"
