I WOULD LIVE IN YOUR LOVE




I would live in your love
as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes,
drawn down by each wave as it recedes;
I would empty my soul as the dreams
 that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats,
I would follow your soul as it leads.

- Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

THE ROSE AND THE BEE





If I were a bee and you were a rose
Would you let me in when the gray wind blows?
Would you hold your petals wide apart,
Would you let me in to find your heart,
If you were a rose?

If I were a rose and you were a bee
You should never go when you come to me.
I should hold my love on my heart at last,
I should close my leaves and hold you fast,
If you were a bee.

- Sara Teasdale



I HAVE A DREAM





If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail.....

I have a dream
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile.

I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
And I know when the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream,
I have a dream.

- "I Have a Dream" by ABBA

YOU ARE POWERFUL






You are perfect. You are limitless.
Because you are a disciple of Jesus Christ.
All the power you will ever need was born
in His moment of suffering for you.
By the virtue of His Atonement and your acceptance
of His grace you have access to the perfection of His 
character and can thereby become perfect yourself.

He is the Father: you are the child;
He is the Giver: you are the given;
He is the Deliverer: you are the delivered;
He is the Healer: you are the healed;
He is the Saviour: you are the saved;
He is the Redeemer: you are the redeemed;
The King of Kings,
The Lord of Lords,
Wonderful, Counselor,
The Prince of Peace,
The Mighty God,
The Everlasting Father.

- Cathryne Allen


LIVE FOREVER




"Live today as if you were going to live forever,
for you surely shall."

- Gordon B. Hinckley

ALL ALONE



"Alone, alone, all alone,
Alone on a wide, wide sea!
And never a saint took
Pity on my soul in agony."

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

IT WILL NOT CHANGE


 

It will not change now
After so many years;
Life has not broken it
With parting or tears;
Death will not alter it,
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.

- Sara Teasdale
