Truly... breath-takin.. and heart-rendin..

"10th Grade"

As I sat there in English class,
I stared at the girl next to me.
She was my so called 'best friend'.
I stared at her long, silky hair,
and wished she was mine.
But she didn't notice me like that,
and I knew it. After class,
she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before. I handed them to her.
She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her,
I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.


"11th grade"


The phone rang. On the other end,
it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart.
She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone,
So I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go home. She looked at me, said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek..
I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don t know why.


"Senior year"


One fine day she walked to my locker.
"My date is sick" she said, "he's not gonna go" well,
I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade,
we made a promise that if neither of us had dates,
we would go together just as 'best friends'.
So we did. That night, after everything was over,
I was standing at her front door step.
I stared at her as She smiled at me
and stared at me with her crystal eyes.
Then she said- "I had the best time, thanks!"
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know
that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.


"Graduation"

A day passed, then a week, then a month.
Before I could blink, it was graduation day.
I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma.
I wanted her to be mine - but
she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home,
she came to me in her smock and hat,
and cried as I hugged her.
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said- 'you're my best friend, thanks'
and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I want to tell her, I want her to know that
I don t want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
and I don't know why.

"Marriage"

Now I sit in the pews of the church.
That girl is getting married now.
and drive off to her new life, married to another man.
I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that,
and I knew it. But before she drove away,
she came to me and said 'you came !'.
She said 'thanks' and kissed me on the cheek.
I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

"Death"

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin
of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'.
At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years.
This is what it read:
"I stare at him wishing he was mine;
but he doesn't notice me like that,
and I know it. I want to tell him,
I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends,
I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me ! " ........'I wish I did too.' I thought to my self, and I cried.

History does have its lessons : Triple Filter Test

Next time someone starts to spread gossip, think of this:-

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test.It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a m! oment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though,because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really..."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful,! why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.


It also explains why he never found out that Plato (his student) was having an affair with his wife.


This is famous saying by Socrates :

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

I loved her then, I loves her still

A moment caught in time with you,
One of just a precious few.
Across the sea, the setting sun -
Slipping unto oblivion.

Coming to us in gold array,
Atop the waves reflection rolled away.
Across the horizon in grand display,
We watched it softly sink to yesterday.

Still in my arms I held you tight,
As the fire-filled sky gave way to night.
I gently kissed your lips, sweet and tender,
Caught up in the night's magic and splendor.

You were an angel in my eyes,
Fallen to me from the skies.
Looking in your eyes, lost in the gleam,
I felt like a man touching a dream.

You fulfilled every desire and need,
With a touch that made my soul bleed.
Oh, how I loved holding you close to me,
But to hold your love I had to set you free.

Still each day the sun sets 'fore my eyes,
In brilliant colors, painting the skies.
But it never quite holds the same flare -
Only an old photograph could share.

A memory I hold close to my heart,
Where you'll always hold the biggest part.
Even as the same sun rolls in tomorrow,
And I find my life's been lost in sorrow.

I won't forget the love you shared with me,
Or the face I may never again see.
Caught in a moment life and love enseam,
I was a man touching a dream.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I loved her then, I loves her still, but as with the sunset, the moment faded all too fast. :D

Small is BIG......

There is no such thing as I instant improvement in life. And as you know in I agriculture, growth can only happen little by little over time.... The things that you do daily may seem small and insignificant, but over time people will be surprised to learn how much you have grown in life. Focus on the small things
you do daily The key word here is daily If you do not have the persistence to do these small things consistently you won't be able to see the results over
the long term.

Things TO DO...Very OFTEN

Spend some time with your loved ones, because
they are not going to
be around forever. Say a kind word to some one who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up
and leave your side. Give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your
heart and it doesn't cost a thing. I Remember, to say I Love you to your partner and your loved ones, but most I of all mean it. A kiss and | an embrace will mend | hurt when it comes from
deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person J will not be there again.

A lot can happen in 10 minutes..

~Did you hear did you hear
That the angel shed a tear?
Did you know did you know
That the angel felt so low?~

You said you loved me
You told me I'm an Angel
And I guess it's not your fault
You wern't there..

~Did you hear did you hear
That the angel shed a tear?
Did you know did you know
That the angel felt so low?~

Alot can happen in 10 minutes
And I missed you by seconds
But I needed to talk to you
I needed you to make it be ok...

~Did you hear did you hear
That the angel shed a tear?
Did you know did you know
That the angel felt so low?~

My Celebrit look Alikes....

In The End

Ready or not,
some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes,
hours or days. It won't matter where
you came from
or what side of the
tracks you lived on
at the end.
It won't matter whether \
you were beautiful
or brilliant.
Even your gender and
skin colour will
be irrelevant.
What will matter is not
your success but your significance.
What will matter is not
what you learned but what you taught.
What will matter is
every act of integrity, compassion
and courage.
What will matter is not
your competence
but your character.
What will matter is not
how many people
you knew,
but how many will feel
a lasting loss when
your are gone.
Living a life that
matters doesn't happen
by accident.
It's not a matter of
circumstance but
of CHOICE.
