Friends are far, friends are near,
Friends will be there to lend an ear,
They listen, laugh, and care,
But most of all, they're always there,
Through thick and thin, up and down,
Your true friends are always around,
For treats, hugs and real big smiles,
They'll travel to you from several miles,
They'll always be there to hold you tight,
Anytime, no matter if it's day or night,
You really know when your friends are sincere, 
When they always show up to lend their ear.

Yesterday I was angry with God.
Today I am angry with my anger.
My Lord tells me
That if anger is the problem
In my life,
Then the immediate solution
Is love.

Give up anger; renounce pride;
transcend all worldly attachments.
No sufferings touch the person
who is not attached to name and form,
who calls nothing one’s own.
Whoever restrains rising anger like a chariot gone astray,
that one I call a real driver;
others merely hold the reins.
 
Overcome anger by love; overcome wrong by good;
overcome the miserly by generosity, and the liar by truth.
Speak the truth; do not yield to anger;
give even if asked for a little.
These three steps lead you to the gods.
 
The wise who hurt no one, who always control their body,
go to the unchangeable place,
where, once they have gone, they suffer no more.
Those who are always aware, who study day and night,
who aspire for nirvana, their passions will come to an end.
 
This is an old saying, Atula, not just from today:
“They blame the person who is silent;
they blame the person who talks much;
they also blame the person who talks in moderation;
there is no one on earth who is not blamed.”
There never was, nor ever will be, nor is there now
anyone who is always blamed or anyone who is always praised.
 
But the one whom those who discriminate praise
continually day after day as without fault,
wise, rich in knowledge and virtue,
who would dare to blame that person,
who is like a gold coin from the Jambu river?
That one is praised even by the gods, even by Brahma.
 
Be aware of bodily anger and control your body.
Let go of the body’s wrongs
and practice virtue with your body.
 
Be aware of the tongue’s anger and control your tongue.
Let go of the tongue’s wrongs
and practice virtue with your tongue.
 
Be aware of the mind’s anger and control your mind.
Let go of the mind’s wrongs
and practice virtue with your mind.
 
The wise who control their body,
who control their tongue,
the wise who control their mind are truly well controlled.

There are angels all around us,
Angels everywhere;
Sent to us from heaven above
To comfort, console and share
The mercies of Gods' grace and love
Through an encouraging word
A kind-hearted deed
A whispered prayer
On bended knee.
A gentle touch when no one's there
A peaceful presence in the air
There are angels all around us,
Angels everywhere.

As the world goes spinning round
And everything seems upside down
There isn't any organisation any more
Is nothing everlasting, must we live for just today
Can no-one find the answer, to help in any way
It's just a mixture of joy and sorrow
Of laughter, and of tears
Do we just dream about tomorrow
And about the future years
But the world would be a better place to live in
If everybody just made up their minds
Then we could all live in peace and harmony again
Yes we should all live in peace, and harmony again
Why can't we all live in peace, and harmony again
We should all live in peace, and harmony

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

When there's that special person
You just can't get off your mind
If you look in your heart
That person you will find
 
No matter how much they hurt you
They still mean so much
Because you feel as though you'd die
Without there gentle touch
 
And when your with them
You feel so free
There is no doubt in your mind
That this is how it's supposed to be
 
You feel so happy
With them by your side
You step out of the shadows
For there is no more reason to hide
 
You walk out of the darkness
And into the light
They make your life happy
They make everything right
 
They take away your confusion
They take away your pain
They show you the bright side
And all there is to gain
 
Life is worth living
Your smile won't go away
Everything is perfect
In every single way
 
You know what your feeling
And you look up above
Everything is beautiful
Because your in love

As the days go rolling by,
You have to keep reaching for the sky.
Let no one steer you away from your course
Cause you are your only energy source.
Keep on soaring both near and far;
Your light constantly shines
You’re a shining star.

We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us, one by one,
The Chain will link again.

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too.
I have come all this way eager for you,
without shoes or shawl.
I want you to laugh, to kill all your worries, to love you, to nourish you.
Oh sweet bitterness, I will soothe you and heal you.
I will bring you roses. I too have been covered with thorns

Imagine the Sun shining brightly…
beyond the deep ravine -
it’s lighting up the landscape…
so that everything is seen.

The memory of darkness…
I prefer not to recall:
but would rather think of sunshine…
and gum trees growing tall.

I contemplate this Country,
a vast and open land…
blessed with rich diversity;
suddenly – I understand.

There is a time for everything,
with acceptance, live and learn;
that happiness can be derived…
out of something which seemed stern.

They say this is a ‘sunburnt’ land:
it can be harsh, that’s true.
However, I discover…
there are valleys green with dew.

Refreshing pools and waterfalls,
in which to splash my feet -
and the coolness of a forest,
a sheltering retreat.

The Sun is shining brightly…
though it isn’t always seen;
but when a flower flourishes…
you know where it has been!

Believe in yourself -
in the power you have 
to control your own life, day by day,
Believe in the strength
that you have deep inside,
and your faith will help
show you the way.
Believe in tomorrow 
and what it will bring -
let a hopeful heart carry you through,
For the things will work out
if you trust and believe
there's no limit
to what you can do.

Within the Church a candle burns
and somehow you seem to know;
God's spirit's captured in the flame
and it won't let Him go.

And in the window of your Home…
shines bright candlelight;
placed there to greet the wanderer
from the shadows of the night.

In troubled times, so silently…
a candle draws us near.
As we watch it glowing in the darkness…
its beauty calms our fear.

A candle burns and scents the air
with a perfume of its own;
when you become aware of it…
you know you're not alone.

A candle glows within your heart…
in a secret sanctuary
where a soul can be remembered…
into Eternity.

A candle's flame's not always still…
sometimes it "bobs about";
but its light is so encouraging
when the stars have all gone out.

May each day be blessed
With all sorts of wonderful things;
Like the comfort of love and the joy of hope
And the warmth that having a good friend brings
 
May your tomorrows be carefree;
Free from worries and fears
May each moment be magical
Lasting through the years
 
May this day find you well
As you cross my mind
And may you know that you’re
An important person in my life

See that golden hue
Burning in the west
My dreams are with that color
My dreams are the sun
The sun always sets
But never seems to rise
That sun carries my dreams
Slowly out of my reach
I watch it slide away
Leaving me behind
The color disappears
My dreams are with that sun
Whenever the sun sets
It rises in another place
A place blessed by that light
My dreams are hidden in that light
At my window seat
I watch the sun take it all away
My dreams are with the sun
My dreams are the sun

Where Do I go from here?
Where does life start or end
When there are so many bends?
Can it be there is no beginning?
No ending or between?

Perhaps it is just becoming, existing and 
The endlessness of being.
Look for where the brightest light shines 
To show your path to you 
One with all the signs 
That point to a better view

Travel round the roadblocks
Whenever they appear and remember!
When life is clear
Spirit is near so trust and progress
And let go of fear.

This moment can be
A New Dawn,
A New Day….
Forgive, Forget,

Ask your self;
Do I wish to keep repeating the pattern?
Perhaps it's time for something NEW

Air is warm
Laying down enjoying
The serenity of the day
Listening to sounds passing
Wondering what they are
Breeze passes over me
A touch so light
A tickle on a babies skin
Playing with the leaves
Creating the lazy feel
Look up at the sky
So blue and unchanging
Lost in its vastness
Wishing time would stop
Breathing oh so lightly
Chest hardly moves
Relaxing
Not a care in the world

Light a candle for peace
Light a candle for love
Light a candle that shines
All around the world

Light a candle for me
I will light a candle for you
Light a candle for the hope
That our wish for peace will someday come true

Sing peace around the world
Write peace around the world
Recite peace around the world
All for peace and love

Light a candle to fight the darkness
Light a candle say a prayer
Light a candle so that
There can be peace around the world

Light a candle for peace
Light a candle for love
Light a candle for everyone
All around the world

Life is so precious
And each day a gift
So enjoy every minute
As it were you last to live

Cherish your loved ones
Hug them tight
Share with them your heart
And your time

Nothing is forever
And life goes so fast
Each minute that passes
Is one you can’t get back

When troubles arrive
And knock you off your feet
Stand up and smile
And remember life is too sweet

Every morning when you wake,
Decide right from the start,
That “Today will be a good day”
And let it all in with an open heart

They might leave sooner than you know

Loss never helps anyone move on,
only holds them from,
seeing what is right in front of them,
love the ones you love,
you don’t know when they will leave,
when life gets hard,
and hands you an obstacle,
even with teary eyes,
jump it,
or you will not continue in life,
try until you jump it,
your life will be put on pause
until you jump,
up and over,
love the ones you love,
they might leave sooner than you know

Kindness is a precious jewel
That one can give to another
Kindness is a priceless gem
That can help you in future.
Kindness does not require money
It requires true care
And affection, love & knowledge
Today which are very rare.
Kindness always brings
Peace to soul & mind
No better way of salvation
Other than kindness you would find.
Kindness cannot be only shown
By people adult and old
Kindness can be shown by
Any heart pure like gold.

There is beauty in the forest
When the trees are
green and fair,
There is beauty in the meadow
When wild flowers
scent the air,
There is beauty in the sunlight
And the soft blue beams above,
Oh the world is full of beauty
When the heart is full of love.
