Do you know a heart that hungers
For a word of love and cheer?
There are many such about us;
It may be that one is near.

Sometimes, we are in love in the idea of falling in love.
Loving the illusion of having or missing someone.
It’s alright to feel happy through other people,
but don’t get dependent on achieving happiness by being with someone.

Don’t shield yourself from pain, never fear pain either. Face whatever it is that comes your way.
Don’t be afraid to stumble and fall, to cry and get hurt. Dread not those helpless moments,
when you can’t even fight your tears back, and all you can do is stare at something and let time pass.

The important thing in life is not to be bitter over life’s difficulties.
We should learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny…

I’m giving you a part of my friendship not because you deserve it.
But I guess, it already belongs to you.

Sometimes in life, we tend to run so fast that we don’t notice God is running with us.
We only notice Him when we fall, yet He stops, carries us and says, “Finish the race my child.”

Mom, you have always helped to make my birthday dreams come true.
This year, I hope that your day is filled with everything
that you wish for and more.

Throughout the years, you’ve taught me many things.
Your words have made me wiser, but more importantly,
your presence has been a gift I’ll always treasure.

Learn to love with all your heart and accept the unlovable side of others.
For anyone can love a rose, but only a great heart can include the thorns.

“Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs… since the payment is pure love.” – Mildred B. Vermont
