Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

I ask this of you, Lord
In your hands my fate lies
I've wandered in blindness
Please Lord open my eyes

Let your love fill me
Let your love heal me
Don't let life steal me
From your tender love

I prayed to you, Dear Lord
With these sighs my words poured
Please clothe me in your love
And hear your ev'ry word

I was tired and so lonely
My mind broken in shame
Until I was led to
Calling out in your name

Like gardens need water
Oh we reap what we sow
Your light in my path, Lord
Helps me see my faith grow

I feel heartbeats of Spirit
When it holds me so near
It's God's grace that saves us  
And erases all fear

I sing to you dear Lord
Like a child just been born
For love, strength and wisdom
You've been here all along

I let your love fill me
I let your love heal me
I won't let life steal me
From your tender love

You didn't get a valentine
Nor a supermarket rose,
We never sipped that vintage wine
Or read romantic prose.

You left before I told you,
I threw away my chance
To have you and to hold you:
I’m ******* at romance.

We were friends,
Since we were kids,
Everytime,
After playtime,
We would say a line,
She says,
"see u later alligator ",
And i would say,
" see u in a while crocodile ",
We grew up together,
Had memories,
That could last forever,
We finished each others sentance,
Our bond lengthend,
Our friendship was a powerful legend,
But one day,
We grew up,
And had to pursue our way,
We parted,
A friendship we started,
Just ended,
We parted in tears,
I was holding her close,
She didn't want to let go,
Finally for the last time we saw each others eyes,
And she said,
"see u later......... Alligator ",
And i said,
" see u in a while.......... Crocodile ",
This was our biggest fear,
To walk away,
With tears.

And when all the wars are over,
a butterfly will still be beautiful!

This day is yours, it belongs to you,
Do anything that you desire to do.
Watch your favorite shows, eat your favorite food,
Do anything that puts you in a good mood.

Your friends are here to celebrate too,
This day is yours, it belongs to you.
You’ve been working too hard, you need a break,
Sit down and have another piece of cake.

Open the presents your friends have bought,
You can see they’ve given this plenty of thought.
This day is yours, it belongs to you,
So spend it joyfully with your favorite crew.

Just here to wish you Happy Birthday,
That’s really all we have to say.
And may your dreams all come true,
This day is yours, it belongs to you.

Life is full of surprises
Some good ones
Some bad
And no matter how much you plan and strategize
Always expect the unexpected
Don't relax when things are going good
And don't lose hope when things are going bad
Both situations can turn around pretty quickly
