The following are by Helen Steiner Rice
FRIENDSHIP'S BOUQUET
Life is like a bouquet
And friendship like a flower
That blooms and grows in beauty
With the sunshine and the shower.
And lovely are the blossoms
That are tended with great care
By those who work unselfishly
To make the place more fair.
And like the bouquet's blossoms
Friendships flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And like sunshine adds new fragrance
And raindrops play their part,
Joy and sadness add new beauty
When there's friendship in the heart.
And if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendships flower will bloom for you.
Brighten your day
And lighten your way,
Lessen your cares
With daily prayers,
Quiet your mind
And leave tension behind
And find inspiration
In hushed meditation.
We wouldn't enjoy the sunshine
If we never had the rain,
We wouldn't appreciate good health
If we never had a pain;
If we never shed a teardrop
And always wore a smile,
We'd all get tired of laughing
After we had grinned awhile;
Everything is by comparison,
Both the bitter and the sweet,
And it takes a bit of both of them
To make our lives complete.
Great is the power
of might and mind,
But only love
Can make us kind. . .
And all we are
or hope to be
is empty pride
and vanity. . .
if love is not
a part of all,
The greatest man
Is very small!
Yes,
Love is the language every heart speaks
And love is the answer to all that man seeks
People need people
and friends need friends,
And we all need love
for a full life depends
Not on vast riches
or great acclaim,
Not of success
or on worldly fame,
But just in knowing
that someone cares
And holds us close
in their thoughts and prayers--
For only the knowledge
that we're understood
Makes everyday living
feel wonderfully good.
