Following love from a distance can be fine, but love and passion are sublime
To feel the love of another soul
Grasping holding in control
a feelings that can set you free
Knowing that you want to be
With someone that loves you so.
With the passion love of another soul.

On this day of love and friendship
We give our thanks for all we have
The blessings of the ones around us
And thoughts of thanksgivings gone by.
Remembering all the friends that have gone
Thank you all my friends for being by my sides.

Fragrance and color
gods gifts for the islands,
The pacific the flowers part of every Tahitian day,
A flower lei or headdress a smile, laughter loving people
Friendly people
make us feel so natural
Welcoming
Our gifts are these people
our future if we follow their lead
We are sure to prosper

Dreams are what you make them
The choices of your future depend on your dreams today
Dream bigger!

Sitting beside you
Feeling the warm breeze as it brushes by my lips the taste of salt, of sun,of sand
What a special time beside you alone
Reflecting

Realizing that life is much more
That being set back and ignored
Might bring feelings of hurt or shame
But holding ones strengths and beliefs
Stand up tall and strong
Face all adversaries with a strong soul
be bold just to be yourself
not who someone else thinks you should be!

Life is full of wonders full of joy
Life is full of sites we wish to see
Life is sometimes full with what feels to be sadness
A slight change to what is the norm
Being positive will keep you strong
Knowing that you have what it takes to do and change something that is wrong
Being strong enough to say I was wrong or I can change will lead to a better you.

Sitting here alone
Thinking of what is wrong
In need of mending, repair
Adjustment? Or just tending.
Where to start to move forward to ease life's troubles
start the notion of making better choices and intentions.

Dreams so real
Yet so hard to understand
Awaking full of emotions
Sadness,happiness
Loneliness
But why?

There is no greater pain
The one that comforted you every day through all your aches and pains
She brought to life the wonders and things you could not explain
To institute the future in which you have became .
Whether she did it out of love or just as a natural thing
She did all these things for you just because of love
So when you lose your mother, you lose part of your soul
So sad to lose your mother who's always been there by your side
Telling you how to do things right and not to pick a side.
I thank my mother for the life she gave to me and all she taught me through the years.
Pain of losing your mother there is no greater pain.
I know my mother she did her best
She tried her best. She did her best. She taught all that she could.
She took the worst and turned the worst into something good.
So remember, while you have your mother sitting by your side that she's always going to be the best friend that you'll ever have by your side
Tell her that you love her tell her every day tell her that she's special and that she wish she would always stay
For when I was young, my worst fear was losing mom and dad
Makes you feel like you're all alone and makes you feel so sad but through all that sadness you will know your mother taught you more, that the way that you treat others, is the way you'll be treated in return .
Oh what a blessing. It was to have a mother for 60 years. I thank God for all the time I had and for all those wonderful years.

The green, the sea, the mountains, lakes and streams
Gods gift to the world
If you feel unwanted anywhere you might find yourself and move north,
Which ever direction leads you to the destination that feels warm ***** as Maine
Surely your mind and body will feel at home in Maine

Things are strange
We have to be strong
Throw your anchor and hold strong
Help you Neighbors your family your friends
Acquire only what you need, not what you want
Remember the high power and what’s at cost
The health of your Neighbors family’s and friends is what could be lost.
Amen


Taken to the sea
With unfelt power and degree
Not knowing how this came over me.
To draw me close to feel the salt the dried water on my face of the sea.
living things Underwater draw me to understand where my place is by the sea.
The loving protection of living by the sea.

The willow tree, wonderful scarves of leaves
Reaches its long arms extending them as to touch the rich earth and feel what nature has made.

Loving and learning teaching compassion, for loneliness, sadness depression, and madness.
Never turn a back to someone in darkness in despair  
someone with sadness
Someone that needs love
Someone that needs support
Someone that needs you
Someone that needs love,

If I may and if I might find a love I want to hold tight
Think about them most everyday
Show them in feelings in what I say
Let them know they mean much more.

And love and friendship mean so much more
if things do not always work out, look forward and know that things will change
Knowing that friendship, it is what really matters that seeing you will only make matters feel, and know that I'll be needing to hold you tight
Just know that I am missing you.
Should be enough to know my love is true and only for you !

Sometimes we think what if?
Sometimes we say why did I not do that?
Sometimes I wonder what if I did not go there ?
Sometimes I dream what if ?
Sometimes I wonder if I had not met you?
Sometimes I feel I would be lost without you.

As I sit here out of site
I dream of a future full of life
With laughing love and something's new
I dream of the all the things to come
The sun, the nights, and days to few
Just knowing I spent time with you
As I sit here out of site my futures brighter with you in my life.

Thoughts of friends are sometimes measured,
In kindness, blessings and time spent together
sometimes hard
not always planned out or quite as expected.
so take your friend, Hold on very tightly
Say sorry for quarrels or feeling uptight
Show friendship through love and gestures of kindness for blessings are measured in thoughts and reminders of moments of blindness as natural kindness

Just to feel that love is felt
Enjoyed or just discovered
Not having this simple part of life
can bring unsettling flutter
A feeling of despair or loneliness
Of sadness and often blue
When you find this lost feeling
Life changes for you
A strange feeling that in all your life you have never felt
You have been missing something special, something quite unfelt
Trapped lost or forgotten
Somehow felt regret
I feel all but so deserving
and will revert and never feel
Regret

Stop and breath
Look around, be thankful for what you see
Loving family, a home a place to live
Warm and blessed is what we need
Not presents, just greetings of love
Joy and a future of Peace
Stop and breath.

The earth the skies, winds so Precious is the only way we describe our love of earth
It's  colors it's variety of animals plants and life.

The rain falls to the leaves of the palms and bird of paradise
rain Carries the fresh water to the areas of the coral, soaking and moving nutrients to the roots of the great banyan tree
Every drop helps, every storm makes our island more tropical.
rain offers so much to life.
Thank you GOD for your rain and all your creations.
Amen

Sometimes what I see clouds my mind as something I thought should be
My heart wants something one way
but the reality is far different from what will be
My eyes sometimes react to what my mind sees
Oh how life would change if what our minds see could be.

Touch is more then one can imagine
feel the love of one that surrounds you
Knowing that one day may come
When the arms of a loved ones are instilled in your heart for evermore

Stirring reflections of light dazed in colors of blue and white
Dotted along the seascape
Drawling me closer pulling my mind as always to the sea
The thought of not being near will never be.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets
So love the people who treat you right
Forget about the one's who don't.

Believe everything happens for a reason
If you get a chance, take it
if it changes your life, let it
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it
ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE!

Storm front approaches is very fast
the threat of disaster will be fact
this feeling of our home gone way
makes me feel and want to go astray but God his love will hold us true
To see us through this storm
and to realize a home is just a place
humanity and friends are much more true
Home is where the helping hands hold true.
Love and hope will you get through.

Mother your voice brings me comfort
Your strength supports me
Your wisdom shallows me
My whole life
Taught from you
On how to be
How to act
How to see
How to be me

As we drive side by side
silence brings thought about time gone those to come
future seems much brighter
With you by my side  
As we drive side by side
Through the beautiful keys

Time is important.
More important is time spent with family and loved ones.

Even though you're far away and spring and Easter comes but once a year
With spring, flowers the grass and trees all remind me of thee
So even though I am far away
My heart my Sentiments always be with you

I see ocean as far as one can see
flying over the Indian Ocean a blackness that should be
But instead thousands of twinkling lights like flying glow bugs in the night
Reveal that fishermen are out to work
To bring back a bounty creatures from the sea.

We will rise strong
We will use our minds
We will use our knowledge
To Rise strong
We will use our love our compassion
To rise strong
We will honor our first responders to rise strong
We will help our elders our neighbors to rise strong
WE WILL RISE STRONG!

Scott Michael Pinto

When times are hard, not quite right
When things are bad and out of site
Remember times that brought us light
That make you smile and feel just right!
I think of these most everyday
Of friends that fill my mind with ways, of joy and laughter sometimes tears
But thinking back on all my years, its friends that make my life so good
So let me thank you all right now, for all the joy and love, that we have found, and with each day that comes to pass, the future times of joy to have.

Reason stays the same
the reason I play on
wonder of knowing things won't go wrong
That being of sound mind a warm heart,
a dream of future or of the past
The reason stays the same
The reason is you

Saturday comes but once a week four times a month 52 times a year.
If that's all we get we'll have a beer
And cheer cheer cheers!
