Ideals are like stars

You can chart your course in life, with high ideals and love.

For high ideals are like the stars, that light the sky above.

You cannot ever reach them but lift your heart up high.

And your life will be as shining, as the stars up in the sky.

I belong in your arms

Finally, I have found a place into which I fit.

Perfectly, safely, and securely with no doubts, no fears, no tears.

This place is filled with happiness and laughter.

Yes, it is spacious enough to allow me the freedom to move around, to live my life and be myself.

This wonderful place, which I never believed really existed, I have found, finally in your arms, inside your heart, inside your love.

Because

Because hands are meant to be held.

Because lips are meant to be kissed.

Because words are meant to be spoken.

Because tears are meant to be wiped away.

Because dreams are meant to be realised.

Because love is meant to be nurtured.

Because life is meant to be shared.

Because you two are meant to be together.

I wrote your name in the sky

I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away.

I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away.

I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.

The One

When the one whose hand you're holding, is the one who holds your heart.

When the one whose eyes you gaze into, gives your hopes and dreams their start.

When the one you think of first and last, is the one who holds you tight.

And the things you plan together, makes the whole world seem just right.

When the one whom you believe in, puts their faith and trust in you.

You've found the one and only love, you'll share your whole life through.

Love is Giving

Love is giving, not taking,

mending, not breaking,

trusting, believing,

never deceiving,

patiently bearing

and faithfully sharing

each joy, every sorrow,

Today and tomorrow.

Love is kind, understanding,

but never demanding.

Love is constant, prevailing,

it's strength never failing.

A promise once spoken

for all time unbroken,

Love's time is forever.

Maybe

Maybe...we are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the 'right' one,

so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe...it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it,

but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe...the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything,

they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Maybe...the best kind of love is the kind where you can sit on a sofa together,

never say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

Maybe...you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone that makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

Maybe...you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

Maybe...love is not about finding the perfect person; it's about learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

When you do what you can, love, will do what you can't.
