A Dozen Roses
I received A Dozen Roses
From a friend the other day;
But I only have 1 left,
For I gave them all away.
I gave one to my sister,
Who to me is very dear,
In hopes that it will bring to her
A little floral cheer.
I took one to a friend
Who's not feeling very well;
The flower or the visit -
Which helped him more, I could not tell.
One went to a friend
I haven't known for very long.
She struggles, so in some small way
I hope this helps her carry on.
The rest went to the ones
Who've helped me in so many ways;
They have been a cheerful presence
On my very dreary days.
The roses were so pretty
I just couldn’t keep them all,
So I gave them away,
My friend gave me the flowers
To help brighten up my day,
But the biggest joy I received
Was in giving them away.
This is for you

Friends are a very rare Rose, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of praise,
and they always want to open their heart to us.
Show your friends how much you care..
Love in Christ,
Ravyn Rae
Subject: Care
It's national care week ... and you get to send messages to all your friends telling them that you care about them and make 'em feel good about themselves and if they write back ... (just once) than that means that they care about you too ...
HEART PRINTS.....
Whatever our hands touch--
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.
Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heart prints!
Heart prints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heart prints of kindness
and genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!
I shall go out today
To leave heart prints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.
@)}--}---
Pass this rose on
and let them know
that you care about them!!!
don't let the rose die!!!
A Friend Is Always Special
Because Friends Love you because You are You!
I offer you my hand in friendship
so that when you reach out in times of need,
you can be certain that I'll always be there.
when it returns to you,
you'll know who'll be your friends for life!!!
No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;
It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorate your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug: May I prescribe, my friend,...
the hug! (and, of course, fully returnable!)
My Friend: Hope your day is good for you.

I will not play Tug O' War,
I'd rather play Hug O' War;
Where everyone hugs, instead of tugs,
And everyone giggles and rolls on the rug.
Where everyone kisses,
and everyone grins;
everyone cuddles,
and everyone wins.

There's something in a simple hug
Keep this hug going :-)
I Hope You Do!
I hope you woke up this morning
I hope the sun is shining just for you
I hope your coffee is hot
I hope that your day is filled with lovely surprises
I hope you feel on top of the world
I hope just everything goes your way ...
I hope everything is well with your world,
I hope you can enjoy all you do
I hope you have all you wish for yourself
At the end of the day
I hope you have a perfect end to the perfect day

FRIENDSHIP
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a
premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly
newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to
meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an
accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a
silver
medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you
shared it with someone special,
special enough to spend your time. And remember that time waits for no
one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!!
It's National Friendship Week. Friends are a very rare jewel indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend
an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to
open their heart to us. Show your friends how much you
care..... Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If
it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of
friends.
< B> HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK!!!!!!!!!
Return to the
Cover Page
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.
A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.
A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.
And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.
Pass it on to your buddies :-)
with a big smile on your face ...
and the birds are singing their very best songs ...
and tastes just right
and the cats are purring contentedly,
and the mailman waves a cheery hello
and there are no bills in the mailbox ...
and friends call you up just to say "Hi" ...
with a spring in your step all day ...
a place for everything and everything in it's place ...
and you are complimented on the way you look
and you can laugh and talk and share to your heart's content ...
and those dear to you,
and all your dreams come true ...
I wish you a perfect moon shining just for you,
a snug and cozy bed with the softest of pillows
a
nd I hope you sleep like a lamb
with a smile on your face ...
and I hope that every day is just as wonderful
in it's own way ...
I hope your day is ...
Filled with love ..
A box of gold,
With a secret inside
That has never been told.
But as I see,
The treasure inside
Is far more precious to me.
this treasure with thee,
It's the treasure of friendship
You've given to me!
If it comes back to you, then you'll
know you have a friend for life.
