A GOLDEN CHAIN

Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year

It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...

Time can't destroy its beauty
For, as long as memory lives,
Years can't erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives

For friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But to have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold

And the Golden Chain of Friendship
Is a strong and blessed tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by

Dear Mother

 

When I was a baby, you rocked me to sleep,
And dressed me and taught me to talk,

You guided my faltering, hesitant steps
When I first started learning to walk.

And then came the day I started to school,
When you realized how fast I had grown,

And you told me what wonderful fun it would be
Then watched as I skipped off, alone.

You make all the days of my childhood so gay,
So filled with contentment and fun.

That the memory I have of my growing-up years
Is a cherished and wonderful one.

And then, when I started to be on my own,
You offered a sure, guiding hand,

Whenever I needed a listening ear,
I knew then that you'd understand

For all of your thoughtfulness, all of your love,
Your patience and gentleness, too,
I'm thankful--for I have a wonderful treasure

A sweet, lovely mother like you!

You are heart of life

Birth is the start of life,
Beauty is the art of life,
Mystery & risk are part of life
But true friends like you are heart of life
