But you didn't

Remember the day I borrowed your brand
new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me,
but you didn't.

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so."
but you didn't.

Do you remember the time I flirted with all
the guys to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd leave,
but you didn't.

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie
all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me,
but you didn't.

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance
was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me,
but you didn't.

Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.
But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.

There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you
when you returned from Vietnam.

But you didn't.

--Merrill Glass

What I Have Lived For （Bertrand Russell)

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. 　　

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness–that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what–at last–I have found. 　　

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. 　　

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. 　　

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me

Valentine's Day Message

It's the simple times, 

when we're talking about anything and everything...

It's the time, we understand each other even when no words are spoken at all...

It's the smiles, the laughs, the warm hugs, the sweet kisses, and the joy of just being together...

These are the things that really matter. 

These are the special things that remind me that life is better in so many ways because of you!

Hugs...Kisses...and Love!

Fill with Love

 

Tenderly holding your face
To wipe away all your tears
My heart always belongs to you
Tell me you’ll never be alone

Looking deeply into your eyes
No need to say another word
Holding tightly onto your hands
This warmth will never ever change

Together we share joy
We share same sorrow
And we have the same aspiration
Together we strive
Together we dream
We treasure the same love in our hearts

No matter if we know each other
No matter if you’re here or faraway
Let us pray with sincerity
To wish you peace and happiness.

Some people

Some people,

Maybe, never dreamed of together,

But as destined somewhere, go together.

Some people,

Been through sharing the joys and sorrows, sharing weal and woe,

Go through together for a year, two years, three years,

Or more long time, but it’s faded from memory.

Memories are always beautiful,,

Regardless of the memories there crying, laughing,

But still cannot change the reality,

Some people

They are really alienate each other,

No one who would alienate for no reason,

Not because of time and distance deliberately to forget,

This would be refused puzzling, and even misunderstanding.

An ordinary person with ordinary people's romantic,

Need not earth-shattering love, but over time,

You have the most profound memory, isn't love,

Accompany you spend the longest time, is love.

Ocean, hometown -- Song

As a child, my mother told me

The ocean is my hometown

Was born by the ocean, grown up in the ocean
 

The ocean, ocean!

Is the place where I live

Sea breeze blowing a wave

As I wander

The ocean, ocean!

Just like my mother

Through all the ends of the earth

Always at my side

My mother told me as a child

The ocean is my hometown

The sea was born sea growth

The ocean, ocean!

Is the place where I live

Sea breeze blowing, surge wave

I drift with the tide to far away

The ocean, ocean!

Just like mother

I traveled the ends of the earth

It is always beside me

The ocean, ocean!

Just like mother

I traveled the ends of the earth

It’s always beside me

Ocean, hometown

The ocean is home to my hometown
