two lovely flowers

When I was younger, I saw two beautyful flowers... One is red and the other is white. They are so much different but much more alike. They were planted together in this garden called life. I saw the different weathers they had been through. The thunders and the storms they had to go through. I also saw how they dance with the wind, and play with the sunshine that sparks in their dreams. The white flower was like a child, hopefull, dreamer, so lively and lovely. But though she's fragile, her petals of faith and her stems of courage made her ever so blooming and charming. The other flower though, is wild and carefree. Thorns of strength made her the fighter she has become. I admired those two lovely flowers,.. they had grown in beauty and grace in this garden called life. But the red flower was being picked by a stranger,she's now gone... But the beauty she painted in each of our lives, will forever be treasured and remembered. Only Jah knows if he'll plant that flower again.. for the white flower to be with once again.

"smile"

A smile cost nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who give it. It takes but a moment,

but the memory of it sometimes last forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along

without it, and none is so poor but that he cannot be

made richer by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home, promotes

good will in business, and is the cornerstone of

friendship.

It can perk up the weary, bring cheer to the discourage,

sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote

for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or

stolen... for it is something that is of no value to

anyone until it is given away.

When people are too tired to give you a smile,

give them one of yours. No one needs a smile so much

as he who has none to give.
