Don't Quit

January 25. 2007

When things go wrong

as they sometimes will,

when the road you're trudging

on seems all uphill,

when the fog dies low,

and the debts are high,

and you want to smile,

but you have to sigh,

when care is pressing you down at bit...

rest if you must - but don't you quite.

success is failure turned inside out,

the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

it may be near when it seems afar,

so stick to the fight

when you're hardest hits seems so far...

it's when things go wrong,

that you mustn't quit.

Even though life seems like it's afar

but I say this for a reason and it's no lie,

'I hope for the best for all of my ever good

friends that I have just met and lost and knew.

I know this guy and his name is Ken. I just met him

for a second or two. We both talked and talk until

we both said our good - bye's.

There's this guy that I met today and he

was a stranger to me. This is what I can not believe that

if you take the time to say to a stranger about what

has happened in your past that he or she will understand

completely, to take the time to listen to a stranger.

What a wonderful thing that was.

I'm please to announce that I lived for so long and yet

you even longer for you guys are really my heroes

Even though I said out of anger that 'I don't trust you not

no more,' but really I do. I trust 'n' you.

For I believe that there are really angels in this

world that we may not know. Listen to the sound

of the wind, listen as it howls. Can you please be

my angel for this one night forever and always.

I see people singing and dancing and even dieing

but yet I do not know why they are. Confused and

drowning in my sorrow's that this has to happen to

such beautiful people.

People lie, steal, drugs and so on and so on. My prayer

is for world peace and prosperity. For the little ones

means' so much to a young girl to have some kind of

shelter where none is found. Share your homes

to the people that are confused, lost and homeless

share your home to the little ones that has no mom

or dad. I say that where I may go isn't for you

but for the ones that were abandoned when young

or old. Don't quit what you have started.

Don't quit believing that I want to achieve goal in

life for there are so many you want.

I may lose my mind over something in

the past that comes to haunt me when I'm happy.

I then cry and cry wanting patiently for someone to say

'It will be all right?"

I then keep crying and there's nothing that you can do to

stop me from crying. No matter what I will be your friend

whether good or bad. For Jesus alone is my lord and

savoir and redeemer. There is nothing in this world

that will make me stop believing.

Lonely am I with out no one here to call my friend or my

family. I would love to have you here but really you are

farther then I intended you to be. I would rather you to

to be far but still friends but visiting often. Nothing

will take me apart from you and you and you because

I heard from someone very special that I hold in my heart

'We are all sent for a reason. You may not know what the

reason is.' I thing now I know why I'm sent down here?

Only to bring hope and destiny to man kind. We are

fighting for a case and a lost where nothing will bring

it to life. The people that are in Afghanistan, the

Canadians' and the Americans' are trying to being freedom

into there lives but they are all dying for nothing.

Very we say to those whose lives are gone and lost in the

past. We shall not forget the glory that they/we are

trying to give them a message. Only people as selfish as

the people that goes to jail are mean and nasty to get to

know.

Even those live's that has been lost by someone else like

the murder and the people that molest little girls and little

boys'. For they are in my thoughts for always and ever.

I hope that you would understand that we are all God's

creatures weather you believe in him or not. I hope you

will take in that we are all loved by someone special like

you are to me.

You are the answers to my calls when ever I may need a

friend that is reliable, nice, friendly and so on and so on.

For you have showed me the light over and over but I was

to afraid t admit it.

Only you alone are like my angel and hero that God has

pistol on me to shine the light where none was found.

Only you can finally be called my angel, my hero and my

friend. Thanks to you I'm finally me and I'm finally glade

to call you friend.

Unless you do something silly and goofy just to get

my attention to make me laugh when really I will say

to myself that you are a lire and a scam artist.

All I really want to say is this:

to trust you and respect you, to call you and rely on you,

to hold you when time's are rough and to give you a kiss on

the cheek good night. My hope is for life to come very,

very, very, very soon.

Learn not to fight or get sad or mad. It brakes my heart

to see you like this because of my mistakes- (crying,

fighting and especially lying behind someone's back.

I did all of those and I sorry. I got into fights when

something as silly as this then I through. Maybe it

was suppose to last or maybe a friendship that will keep

going until the end of time. I lied to you once or maybe

twice but really I was ashamed of myself.

Last night I prayed for a new beginning and a new ending.

I heard God calling my name and so I answer. He then

said, 'Making mistakes is healthy and fair but if you go to

do them often where you make to many mystakes is not.'

I answered back saying, 'God please don't leave me.'

He said, 'I'm not going to, I'm right here weather you can

see me or not.' 'Tell everyone that I love then and

believe in them don't ever forget that child.'

I nodded my head as a tear came down from my eye.

A whisper as if it was going farther and farther away

saying, "Always believe.'

Never give up the fight to achieve your goal -

don'tquit never

蜡烛的伟大

这个星期对敦敦来说是具有历史意义的，敦敦第一次在朋友家留宿一周。美滋滋地品尝着离开家的滋味。他从不主动打电话给我们，倒让我们二老有点六神无主，找不着感觉。孩子的感觉很正，星期三我们厚脸皮地邀请他们两个小朋友忙里偷闲回家来吃顿晚饭，我抓机会想跟他们多聊聊天，敦敦礼貌地告诉我，老妈请你不要影响我们看碟片，俨然一幅有友万事足的样子。

前几天，在这童年水晶般的友情滋润下，敦敦突发奇想地自己坐在电脑旁边说要写篇寓言，他用了十几分钟写了蜡烛如何为友情燃烧，寥寥几笔勾勒出他眼中的朋友和伟大。让我和老公读后着实感动了半天。老公很有自知之明地说，寓言中老人显然指的是我，旧书是敦敦的好朋友，这孩子看重友情，心里的情感满的溢了出来，真是一不留神又受了回孩子对我们进行的爱的教育。

How the candle found its friend

On a warm summer night, a bar owner was about to sleep. The wind rustled the leaves on the tree beside his window. The old man sighed, "O tree, why do you rustle cheerfully as ever could be, while I, grow older by the day?" He moved his old body onto his bed and slept. He forgot to blow out the candle so it flickered on, into the night.

The candle looked around itself. A toothpick hopped out and said, "I am the great picker of teeth!" "I am the creator of words", said the pencil. The candle humbly asked, "What good am I then?"

"You are the bringer of light, a wise old book replied, "They are naught but fools pretending to be great. They have no true knowledge; they are mere tools in my eyes." The candle looked up at the wise old book, "What is greatness in your eyes then, my friend?" "To believe in freedom, bear in slavery, and be strong until the end", replied the book.

That night the candle shined brighter than the stars for it had something keeping it burning on, a friend.
