Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

So many things in life I treasure
They are worth their weight in gold
For my life is filled with love
That cannot be brought or sold

We are rich in so many ways
With the love we have to share
Just being there for one another
Shows how much we really care

To give a little of yourself
Can mean so very much
There are so many in this world
Who are void of human touch

The greatest gift of all
Comes from deep inside
So open up your heart
And let love be your guide

* * *

"The source of love is deep in us
and we can help others
realise a lot of happiness.
One word, one action,
one thought, can reduce
another person's suffering
and bring that person joy"

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Lovely sentiments, Suetang, and very true.  This would make a very inspirational card to give someone in need.  And I LOVE that picture -- like a dream vision of inspiration incarnate!  Enjoyed reading you again.

True enough.

Mind if I . . .

So many pursue the dollar
the only thing they ever hold
but when they've filled their own pockets
they wonder why they feel cold
