Acorns

There are three acorns on that branch…..the branch could represent, in sense, the parent or the real world and the acorns three children. The acorns are supposed to fall off from the tree when they are ready or go into the world when they are of the ripe age. Why then are some of them picked from there spots before they are ready to be? Why can’t they just be left alone until there time is supposed to come? This is something that does not make sense. If you take the acorns to soon they are not getting to the full potential that they are supposed to be because there life was cut short. Someone was not thinking of what their carelessness would do to someone else. Some things are supposed to happen. We might not understand it but in due time we shall.

One Flaw in Women

Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream.. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

A Celtic Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rain fall soft upon your field.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Poem

For Friends of the Handicapped
Blessed are you who take the time
To listen to difficult speech
For you help me know that if I persevere
I can be understood

Blesses are you who never bid me to "hurry up"
Or take my tasks from me
And do them for me
For I often need time rather than help

Blessed are you who stand beside me
As I enter new and untried ventures
For my failures will be outweighed
By the times I surprise myself and you
For my greatest need is to be needed

Blessed are you who understand
That it is difficult for me
To put my thoughts into words

Blessed are you who with a smile
Encourage me to try once more
Blessed are you who never remind me
That today I asked the same question twice

Blessed are you who respect me
And love me just the way I am
