FRIENDSHIP
Friends like you are hard to find,
Friends like you put their lives on the line,
Friends like you do this all the time,
Friends lend a shoulder when the tears roll down your face,
Friends like you, give a hand and make you feel in place,
Friends bless everything you say and do,
That's why it's great to have a friend like YOU.

WHOSE JOB IS IT ANYWAY?
This is a story about four brothers named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry with that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

OBSTACLES
I can’t take no more, I can’t stand it
I tell you, I’ve really had enough
How many times has this been said
When the going begins to get though

So you turn your back on that problem
And for a while you’re feeling strong
But you are right back where you started
When the next one comes along
by Lorraine Simeon

SAY, DID YOU SAY?
Say, did you say, or did you not say
What I said you said?
For it is said that you said
That you did no say
What I said you said.
Now if you say that you did not say
What I said you said,
Then what do you say you did say instead
Of what I said you said?

GRAVEYARD
A nice place to visit but you wouldn’t live there
Robert Forman

THE VALUE OF TIME...
To realise the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a
final exam.

To realise the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth
to a premature baby.
To realise the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly
newspaper.

To realise the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to
meet.

To realise the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the
train, bus or plane.

To realise the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an
accident.

To realise the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a
silver medal in the Olympics.

Time waits for no one. Treasure
every moment you have. You will treasure
it even more when you can share
it with someone special.
