Here's one from an email...i love it. It really makes you think.
~ Some Things To Think About ~
1. At least 5 people in this world, love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you, in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you, is because they want to be
just like you.
4. A smile from you, can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like
you.
5. Everynight, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. Without you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique, in your own way.
9. Someone that you don't know even exists, loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned it's back on you, take a look, you
most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably
won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner or later
will get it.
13. Always remember complements you received, forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them, you will feel much better
when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that the're
great.

Here's one called "Breathe." It is sung by Faith Hill and was written by Holly Lamar and Stephanie Bentley.
Breathe
I can feel the magic floatin' on the air.
Being with you gets me that way.
I watch the sunlight dance across your face and I, oh I've never been this swept away.
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze,
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms.
The whole world just fades away, the only thing I hear,
Is the beating of your heart.
And I can feel you breathe, it's washing over me,
And suddenly I'm melting into you.
There's nothing left to prove, baby all we need is just to be.
Caught up in the touch, the slow and steady rush,
Baby, isn't that the way that love's sopposed to be?
I can feel you breathe.
Just Breathe
In a way i know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumblin' down
Closer than I've ever felt before and i know and you know,
There's no need for words right now.
I can feel the magic floatin' in the air
Being with you gets me that way.
***********************************
Here's anther one i got off an
email.
THINK OF THOSE
WHO LOVE YOU
If someone should hurt you
and say a thing unkind,
Remember what I write you,
and keep these thoughts in mind.
For everyone that makes you cry,
there are three who make you smile.
And a smile will last a long, long
time,
but a tear just a little while.
Don't let someone who hates the world cause you to hate it too.
Behind the clouds is a golden sun,
and a sky that's full of blue.
If someone said a thing that's cruel, don't let it get to you,
Your achievements are greatly
numbered,
and your faults are very few.
So if a certain person should act a
certain way,
Think of those who love you and don't let it spoil your day.

This poem was written by one of my best friends named Jessica.
BETTER PLACE
I know you're gone,
not here anymore.
When you left for this "better place"
no one could ignore.
They say this "better place"
has a pearl gate and a beautiful
stream.
Is that real or is it only a dream?
When you left for this "better place" no one knew, and I felt the pain just for
you.
I hope I see you just one more time
Then you will, once more, be
mine.
-------------------------------------
Here's one I read in "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul." Written by a girl
named Barbara Hauck.
SMILE
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger,
the smile seemed to make him feel
better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a
friend,
and wrote him a thank-you letter.
The friend was so pleased with the
thank-you,
that he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress, so surpised by the size of the tip,
bet the whole thing on a hunch.
Th next day she picked up her
winnings,
and gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the street was so
grateful;
for two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
he left for his small dingy room.
(He didn't know it at the moment that he might be facing his doom.)
On the way he picked up a shivering
puppy and took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful to be out of the storm.
That night the house caught on fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked 'til he woke up the whole
household and saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued grew
up to be President.
All this because of a simple smile
that hadn't cost a single cent.

This is anoter poem from "Chicken
Soup for the Teenage Soul." It was written
by Bettie B. Youngs.
PAINT BRUSH
I keep my paint brush with me
Wherever I may go,
In case I need to cover up
So the real me doesn't show.
I'm so afraid to show you me,
Afraid of what you'll do-that
You might laugh or say mean things.
I'm afraid I might lose you.
I'd like to remove all my paint coats
To show you the real, true me,
But I want you to try and understand,
I need you to accept what you see.
So if you'll be patient and close
your eyes,
I'll strip my coats off real slow.
Please understand how much it hurts
to let the real me show.
Now my coats are all stripped off.
I feel naked, bare, and cold,
And if you still love me with all
that you see,
You are my friend, pure as gold.
I need to save my paint brush though,
And hold it in my hand,
I want to keep it handy
In case someone doesn't understand.
So please protect me my dear friend
And thanks for loving me true,
But please let me keep my paint brush with me
Unill I love me too.

This is the lyrics to the song in
the midi. It is sung by Selena and was
written by Franne Golde and Tom Snow.
DREAMING OF YOU
Late at night when all the world is
sleeping
I stay up and think of you.
And I wish on a star,
That somewhere you are
thinking of me too.
'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you
tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd
rather be,
Than here in my room,
dreaming about you and me.
Wonder if you ever see me and I
wonder if you know I'm there.
If you looked in my eyes,
would you see what's inside
would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close,
but so far all I have are dreams of
you.
So I'll wait for the day and the
courage to say how much I love you.
But I'll be dreaming of you tonight.
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you
tight.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd
rather be,
Than here in my room dreaming about
you and me.
Late at night when all the world is
sleeping,
I stay up and think of you.
And I still can't believe,
That you came up to me and said,"I
love you."...I love you too.
Now I'm dreaming with you tonight.
'Til tomorrow, and for all of my
life.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd
rather be,
Than here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me.

This is yet another poem I got
from the "Chicken Soup" book. It was written by Brooke Mueller. (If you havent read this
book yet, I suggest it to you.)
GROWING
I"m leaving now to slay the foe-
Fight the battles high and low.
I'm leaving, Mother, hear me go!
Please wish me luck today.
I've grown my wings, I want to fly,
Seize my victories where they lie.
I'm going, Mom, but please don't cry-
Just let me find my way.
I want to see and touch and hear,
Though there are dangers, there are
fears.
I'll smile my smiles and dry my
tears-
please let me speak my way.
I'm off to find my world, my dreams,
Carve my niche, sew my seams,
Remember, as I sail my streams-
I'll love you, all the way.
-------------------------------------
This is another poem from a
"Chicken Soup" book..only this one is from
"Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II."
It's written by Melissa Collette.
INSIDE
Bottled up inside
are words i never said,
the feelings that i hide,
the lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on m face:
Trapped inside are lies
of the past I can't replace.
With memories that linger=
Won't seem to go away.
Why can't I be happier?
Today's a brand-new day.
Yesterdays are over,
Even though the hurting's not.
Nothing lasts forever,
I must charish what I've got.
Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone-
All you ever wanted
Of the love you thought you'd won.
The hurt I'm feeling now
Won't disappear overnight,
but someway, somehow,
Everything will turn out all right.
No more wishing for the past.
It wasn't meant to be.
It didn't seem to last,
So I have to set him free.
-------------------------------------
This is a song sung by Gloria
Estefan and written by Gloria Estefan and
Diane Warren. It's called Reach.
REACH
Some dreams live on in time forever.
Those dreams you want with all your
heart.
And i'll do whatever it takes to
follow through with the promise i made.
Put it all on the line,
what i hoped for at last would be
mine.
If i could reach higher
just for one moment touch the sky,
for that one moment in my life i'm
gonna be stronger.
Know that i've tried my very best,
put my spirit to the test.
If i could reach.
Some days are meant to be remembered.
Those days we rist above the stars.
So i'll go the distance this time,
seeing more the higher i climb.
That the more i believe, all the more that this dream will be mine.
If i could reach higher,
Just for one moment touch the sky,
from that one moment in my life i'm
gonna be stronger.
Know that i've tried my very best,
put my spirit to the test,
If i could reach.

ONE WISH
If I had one wish,
It would be to impress my mother,
I would give it all I have,
not to fight with my sister and
brother.
If I had one wish,
It would be to be a best friend,
I would give it all I have,
to never forget till the end.
If I had one wish,
I would show her that I love her,
I would give it all I have,
To prove I'll always be there.
