WELCOME

Here in this room
you will find many poems
on trying to understand life.



Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands;
hold it in yours,
so it will always be within your reach.



Sometimes it takes the rain
To make the flowers grow
Sometimes it takes real pain
Before real joy one knows
Sometimes it takes tomorrows
To understand days gone by
Sometimes before the laughter
There comes a heavy sigh
Sometimes it takes the midnight hour
To value morning light
Sometimes it takes the longest mile
Before things come insight
Sometimes you often wonder
Why your heart can get so sore
But it's the rocky paths in life
That make you cherish smooth roads more


--Leslie J. Datcher---

Blue skies, when all you see are clouds...
Warm breezes, for when your cold...
A smile, when you feel like you can't go on...
A touch, to ease the pain and heartache...
A hug, with open arms
to surround you with love...
Laughter, that fills you till you giggle...
Joy, so much you can't contain it...
Rainbows, for after all the tears fall...
Flowers, to spread beauty inside and out...
Friendships, that last your whole life through...
Freedom, to be who you want to me...
Wings, to follow your heart
where ever it takes you...
Love, to touch you like never before...
Dreams, to replace the ones that are gone...
Songs, that spring forth
out of an endless fountain...
Daily surprises, so that life is always new...Treasures,
the ones that aren't bought with money...
Memories, to enjoy looking back on...
Peace, to lift any burdens away...

THE LAW OF LIFE"


Whatever you give away today
or think or say or do
will multiply about tenfold
and then return to you.

It may not come immediately
nor from the obvious source,
but the LAW applies unfailingly
through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another,
be it love or hate or passion,
will surely bounce right back to you
in some clear or secret fashion.

If you speak about some person,
a word of praise of two,
soon tons of other people
will speak kind words to you.

Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,
not secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness,
petty ones, untold pain.

Giving works as surely as
reflections in a mirror.
If hate you send, hate you'll get back,
but loving brings love nearer.

Remember, as you start this day,
and duty crowds your mind,
that kindness comes so quickly back,
to those who first are kind!

Let that thought and this one
Direct you through each day....
The only things we ever keep
are the things we give away!

"The miracle is not to walk on water.
The miracle is to walk on the green earth
in the present moment, to appreciate
the peace and beauty that are available now....
It is not a matter of faith; it is a matter of practice."
