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!

Oh how happy one man can be
to be stuck in the ocean with nothing more to see
But the sky and the water creating a view
bring memories of sailing and being with you
and a future of brightness with nothing untold
to take all these good feelings and cast them aside
forgetting that water is what keeps us alive
and brings us this feeling that life is so good

Inside the hour glass time will pass
Sand flows freely never fast
Wondering if this second or next will be our past
Enjoy every second as if your last

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!

Sitting by the sea
What a site to see
waves the gulls the rocks and shelves A volcanic sea
places for life to hide themselves from the coming tides
looking to the sea helps me to think of friends to think of things of past, help me to relax and find the hidden treasure
Of the sea

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

The simple things in life make make us happiest.
So keep it simple.

Sitting by the sea
What a site to see
waves the gulls the rocks and shelves
a volcanic sea
places for life to hide themselves
from the coming tides
looking to the sea helps me to think of friends
to think of things of past
Help me to relax and find the hidden treasure siting by the sea.

When in time things slow down
And get out of hand
Rely on instinct
what is in sight
Steer the feelings to what is right
Step aside let time go by
fill in the destiny
it will work out right

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!

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

Sometimes I feel, I am not
Ready for the future ready for what’s not
Things I think should be happening in my life this time is not
It’s got me thinking a lot
That what have I done or not done that makes me stop and wonder
Do I overthink my next move am I in check mate
Is something in my future missing or still waiting or not
What is my next move
Stalemate

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 be thankful.

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!

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


I wonder about you everyday
How you triumph and prosper and know what to say.
That life in the fast lane not always the way to prove love
That is, stay with the loved one that knows you are stronger then anyone knew
Stronger then I
Stronger then you.

Thunderous clouds darkness and rain
drench the earth, enrich the plants and soil, bring life to a much needed landscape.
Darkness bounds and weather is changed by winds of east
Moving westward ,collecting speed,pressure strength  
Storm damages earth but replenish in a way to ensure wildlife
a better future

As the warm breeze brushes the palms.

I feel my spirit rise.  Time away reminds me of simplicity.

Rejoicing in the moments we spend together fills my heart with peace and hope for the future times together.

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

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.

longing for something
long for more
wonder how I will be remembered
How life will treat me
experiences have taught me
lessons are learned
pass all the good on
teach and be taught
How to learn

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.

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.

When we get to the end
Feel no Sorrow for me.
Remember all the good times the wonders that we've seen
Remember all the laughter the smile's that we have shared
When I get to the end do no tear up for me
I will be there forever in your memory and in your dreams.

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.

There’s a plan it seems
It’s just hard to imagine
That a plan would be living without you
What reason on earth could be
To take and remove you from me
It’s just hard for me to imagine
This life And this plan had bought me to you, Was the greatest gift of them all
So I’ll go on with the plan
Knowing you had a greater Reason to take him from me, that I could never imagine
That I could never imagine

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.

I sit and watch the cold rain fall
Winter is here
Cold air the smell of woods
salt in the air, The ocean is near
The winter has come
but the warmth of home is real
Warmth of home is real

Mist floating, like clouds, white and whisper like.
Green is the moss and cedar, tall old and magical.
Ferns line paths , lead to many streams that glistening of what looks of running water
but closer look reveals an end of life, end of time, for a long journey is over.
Salmon have returned home to finish the long road of life that brings them back to where life began
Do not be sad nor remorseful, this is life this is how I wish we all could end our lives.
Among friends, loved ones, choosing when, where, what time. Life is hard the waiting  the worrying, the fearing.
Have no fear!
The love you share will be the future.
Your presence, your remembrance, our life.
So similar from birth, growing, family living, then a long slow journey home.
Do this not alone.  
Surround yourself with those you care.
Help them to understand and feel love, and the whisper life has to offer.

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.

Life is experiences
Things that make you remember
nice thoughts, possibly bad thoughts
but any thought that makes you smile is a good thought.
And you know you were with someone special

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

Standing still
Days pass slow
Looking back time flys
Where goes the time
Is it the future

On this day
The world blessed,
Just to have you as part of it
Your laugh your smile your sometimes inattentive nature,
all part of you  
All pieces of the puzzle that so many love
A family natural and also of balance that bring friends caring loving and kind
On this day a wish for you,
To be healthy loved and wanted
Oh how lucky it is to be wanted
And loved

YOU ARE BLESSED

Tomorrow feels like yesterday
So close
But so far away

The times are here
Revealing and reveled in expectations of love, life and hope
Today is now what tomorrow may be
We live for tomorrow knowing it will 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!

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

The joy of true love lasts forever.
Forget me not.

Nothing prepares you for what you don't expect,
That unexpected feeling
That special evening that wonderful ride in the park that night at the concert,
That night of holding hands of feeling everything feels right
How can we be wrong
If everything feels so right

God we think about you everyday
Are we worthy of your love
Have we done what Is expected
To spread the word of love your unexpected love
Your trusting unconditional love
That our faith giving and full
And always thankful for your unexpected love.

What my eyes see
Is beauty as far as one can see
Rounded peaks and vistas far from view
Colors green of mountain
blue of sea.

What have I been waiting for?
A chance or promise broken
To myself I was untrue
To make no sense of something new
I will stop and think
My future is here
I will wait no more.

The beginning of deciding the future is Experience.
You need to understand your faults your wrongs your teachings
Life is designed to keep you thinking and guessing what will happen in the future.
You learn and mold your life on what you have experienced, the gifts you share the smiles you bring, and walking by someone without smiling is a waste of a day.
a way of saying its ok, to ignore your fellow man.
Just take the time to make the time to make someone’s day, this will make you feel and be the best you can

Thinking of us most everyday,
Wondering in most every way
Are we still the way we used to be.
Alive wonderful and feeling free
Just happy that we
are we.
