a light of hope and reason,
and a light to guide us to
the safety from the dark,
to outstretched hands there.
These hands hold out friendship,

for friendship brings a wealth
much more than anything money can buy,
for without this wealth,
many of us would
just shrivel up and die.

A mother’s love is something precious;
While we grow, she is always there,to comfort and console.She guides us through temptationsthat might lead us astray.Her love surrounds us,to protect us on our way,and is always there for us,whenever the world gets us down.A mother’s love is something,no one can ever replace.
In this old world of ours,
Two hearts so much in lovecould easily break tomorrowor when the next day comes.Two lives could be easily shatteredas nothing stays the same.Hate can easily turn to lovethe very same way.One day you could hate someone,next day you could love them to bits.The future is not ours to sharefor nothing ever stays the same.Today you…
