I have included some poems that I have used for family re-unions, friends and funerals.

They come in handy when a smile, laugh or tears are in order.

I know you ask for just quotes so I hope you will enjoy them all.

QUOTES AND POEM’S

~

“ If you don’t know where your going.

Any road will take you there.”

George Harrison

~

If you always do what you always did,

you will always get what you always got.

~

Take my hand and walk with me,

across the sands of time;

Hand in hand and heart to heart.

Husband . . . friend of mine.

We will share the solitude.

And walk in quiet peace.

My heart hears what your heart says,

it listens when yours speaks.

We’ve shared hearts and souls as one,

in perfect harmony;

The laughter and the tears we’ve known,

Are the sweetest melody.

For years have brought us to this place.

Across the sands of time;

We’ll walk together, till the end.

Husband . . . friend of mine.

~

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance;

the wise man grows it under his feet.

“ I pray I may live until my dying day,

and when it comes to my last cast,

I then most humbly pray.

When I’m in the Lord’s great landing net

and peacefully asleep,

that I be judged big enough to keep.”

~

Do not go where the path may lead.

Go instead where there is no path

and Leave a trail.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away.

Don’t cry at my grave cause I won’t be there.

I’ll be in the breeze that ruffles your hair,

I’ll be in the sunshine I’ll be in the snow,

I’ll be in the places that we use to go.

I’ll be in your shadow and there in your dreams.

I’ll be in your greetings but not your goodbyes.

I’ll be in the reflection of your loving eyes.

I’ll always be with you and I’ll always care.

Don’t cry at my grave side cause I won’t be there.

AN INFORMAL PRAYER

“The proper way for a man to pray”

Said Deacon Lemuel Keys,

“And the only proper attitude,

Is down upon your knees.”

“Nay, I should say the way to pray,”

Said Reverend Dr. Wise,

“Is standing straight with outstretched arms,

“And rapt and upturned eyes.”

“Oh, no, no, no,” said Elder Snow;

“Such posture is too proud.

“A man should pray with eyes fast closed,

And head contritely bowed.”

“It seems to me his hands should be

Austerely clasped in front.

With both thumbs pointing toward the ground,”

Said Reverend Dr. Hunt.

“Las’ year I fell in Hodgkin’s well

Head first,” said Cyrus Brown,

“With both heels a-sticken’ up,

My head a-pointing down;

An’ I made a prayer right then and there;

The best prayer I ever said:

The prayingest prayer I ever prayed;

A-standing’ on my head.”

~

“I’d like to be the sort of friend that you’ve been to me.

I’d like to be the help that you’ve been always glad to be.

I’d like to mean as much to you each minute of the day,

as you have meant ,old friend of mine,

to me along the way.”

-Edgar A. Guest

Be good to yourself and love yourself!

Make it a point to make someone smile today!

Start each day off with a prayer!

(above are from me)

“Give people a bit of your heart rather than a peace of your mind”

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future

“Taking responsibility for mistakes is more important than taking credit for good things”

“If you find opportunities, take them, and if you find no opportunities, make them.”

“Love is never quite so satisfying as when you give it away”

( above are from GuidePosts)

“The older you get, the better you get—unless you are a banana!” (Rose, the golden girls)

i know nothing with any certainty but the sight of stars makes me dream ~ vincent van goh

these quotes inspire me alot for some odd reason

cuz it seams like everything i know keeps changing

and getting harder but God is pulling me through

and it will be over soon and it feels like i just wanna

give up every day but i gotta keep going

and i feel i dont know anything anymore but the only

thing that stays the same is the stars are always gonna

be there looking down on me

We only pass this way once, thank God, because about half of these people,… I never want to see again.

-Ludwig von Beethoven
