She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meets in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress Or softly lightens o'er her face, Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

“At the mountainside”

Fresh breeze and snowcapped peaks sky inked with pale blue the water at the lake is crystal clear the green grass, cows silently chew the little girl at the lowest hill is seen plucking flowers red, blue, yellow and purple all seem to have some kind of power the clouds are moving at snail's pace and all seems so quite and peaceful everything is so mesmerizing that away from it you cannot be pulled

You Were There

by  Emily Robinson

when tears fell from my eyes  you were there to brush them away  when I was lost in confusion  you were there to say that everything would be okay when I stood before you falling apart  you were there to lend your heart  when I felt like no one could understand  you were there to take my hand  when no one else was left to care  you were there

My Sister, My Friendby ZhaiDueñas

To me you are an angel in disguise. Full of intuition, intelligent and wise. Always giving and helping through good times and bad times. You are the best friend I've ever had. If I had one wish it would surely be to give you as much you've given me Though I've put our relationship through some cloudy days, you've been my sunshine in so many ways. Though trials and tests, right by me you stood, and gave me your hand whenever you could. Thank you so much my sister, my friend My gratitude for you has no end....

Birthday Poem for Friends

A Gift Of Friendship

by Sasha

Happy Birthday to my very best friend, Your special day has come by again. We had so much fun last time around, A younger sister was someone I found. Each year March 4th is a wonderful day, As we march forth in our own fun way. Just hanging around and laughing a lot, It is truly amazing what we have got. A friendship like ours is not easy to come by, Often the intensity of it makes me so high. Is our beautiful friendship really only a dream? Sometimes it feels so unreal that I must scream. Cries of joy and happiness galore, And that is what I most adore. Your infectious laughter and zest for life, But I am there to keep you from strife.

*** Growing Up With Grandma by Candy Canan I don't know when it happened. I don't know when she came, But, she's the one I always knew, Grandma was her name. She taught me how to tie my shoes. She taught me how to talk. And, though I can't remember, I think she taught me how to walk. When all the other kids in school Would talk about Mom and Dad, I wondered where my parents were, That made me kinda’ sad. And, sometimes there were days I'd cry Or hide my head in shame. But Grandma took it all in stride, And loved me all the same. She'd wrap her arms around me, And kiss me on the head. She'd tell me that she loved me When she tucked me into bed.

Time Flew By So Quickly

by  Judy Muldowney

We can’t begin to tell you Just how loved you are We can’t believe how time has flown And how you’ve come so far Forgive us when we stop and stare And tears fall from our eyes Time flew by so quickly Sure took us by surprise We asked you to stay little To always be our baby You said, “I’ll try to if I can, but, I’ll have to grow up...maybe.” Now here you stand before us A respectful, honest man Strong-willed and determined Who always says, “I can”
