.............I WISH...............



Do you wish the world were better?



Let me tell you what to do.


Set a watch upon your actions,


Keep them always straight and true.


Rid your mind of selfish motives,


Let your thoughts be clean and high.


You can make a little Eden


Of the sphere you occupy.

Do you wish the world were wiser?


Well, suppose you make a start,


By accumulating wisdom


In the scrapbook of your heart;


Do not waste one page on folly;


Live to learn, and learn to live.


If you want to give men knowledge


You must get it, ere you give.

Do you wish the world were happy?


Then remember day by day


Just to scatter seeds of kindness


As you pass along the way,


For the pleasures of the many


May be ofttimes traced to one.


As the hand that plants an acorn


Shelters armies from the sun.

                                  ........ A  WHITE ROSE.......

The red rose whispers of passion,


And the white rose breathes of love;


O, the red rose is a falcon,


And the white rose is a dove.


But I send you a cream-white rosebud


With a flush on its petal tips;


For the love that is purest and sweetest


Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
 

                                            

              ..............A SPECIAL WORLD.............


A special world for you and me


A special bond one cannot see


It wraps us up in its cocoon


And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold


Gently nestling us to the fold


Like silken thread it holds us fast


Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break


A new one forms in its wake


To bind us closer and keep us strong


In a special world, where we belong.
