"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."

- Mathilde Blind - "April Rain"

 


 I wish you dear Friend a weekend with peace
and that you enjoy Mother Earth beauty.

"What is Life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow
which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset."
 
- Crowfoot -  Blackfoot warrior and orator

 

 I wish you dear Friend, a week full of Life
and with Peace.

"The people I'm furious with
are the women's liberationists.
They keep getting up on soapboxes
and proclaiming
women are brighter than men.
That's true, but it should be kept quiet
or it ruins the whole racket."

- Anita Loos -
 New York Times, 10 February 1974

 

 ... I simply love this quote.
I hope that it makes you smile

"There are 32 points to the compass,
 meaning that there are 32 directions
in which a spoon can squirt grapefruit;
 yet the juice, almost invariably,
flies straight into the human eye."

... just laugh or simply smile dear Friend

"Only when the last tree has withered,
 and the last fish caught,
and the last river been poisoned,
will we realize we cannot eat money."

From old to new!

Only a night from old to new!
Always a night from old to new!
And in the first day,
My wishes are few:
The beginning of the end
Of all wars in the world
That all the soldiers safe return home
The beginning of the end
Of the prejudice, intolerance, racism
Hunger, greed, attacks to life.
After that night is the first new dawn
And may we can start from the beginning,
Living together, without haste
In union with kind Mother Earth.



... I wish you a new year full of Love and Peace
 my Friend
Ana

"Great spirits have always found
violent opposition from mediocrities.
The latter cannot understand it
when a man does not thoughtlessly
submit to hereditary prejudices,
but honestly and courageously
uses his intelligence and
fulfills the duty to express the results
of his thought in clear form."
Albert Einstein

We're never completely in one place.
 Some part of us hangs out
On streets we barely remember,
Or converses with faces no longer familiar.
Every encounter has a beginning,
But never an ending.
Like an exquisite ecosphere,
The mind turns each raindrop into forever,
Nor does it allow one word to disappear.
Some evening, years from now,
Our lives will be bitter or sweet.
But we'll be together my Friend.



... I wish you my sweet Friend
a peaceful weekend.
With Love
Ana

A CHILD'S HEART

A child's heart is full of love
Bearing all the burden
A child's tears happy or sad
Are real from within
The cry's come from their souls
Brought on by confusion...
They love their mom and dad
But their souls will never mend...
Hold a child oh so close
Don't ever let them go
Unconditional love
Is all that they say and more
A child's heart is full of love
Not to bear the burden
But to love life to the fullest
Ever so certain...

 

 ...I wish you dear friend, a wonderful week
 With Love
Ana

Save the Animals
Endangered Species are fading away
Need to stop hunting
Do what I say
Animals dying and
Never being born
Generations go by
Extinct they become
Rhinos being killed just for their horn
Elephants getting hunted every day
Destroyed habitats
Sadly nothing is going their way
Poachers spying all the time
Every day animals get killed
Could and should be put down for their crime
Incredible animals running away
Eventually they will become extinct
Save the animals or go away

by Jack (aged 11)

What is a Poem
 A poem is hidden in the soundlessspeechless soft clouds
Tossing turning twisting
in the crystal clear aquamarine sky
Look inside a pleasing pretty flower
Climb immeasurable immenseimpressive mountains
If you find a poem handle it carefully
Like a newborn puppy
For a poem can die or slip through fingers
Like creamy butter
And be lost in the dark streets
Look in places where you
 have never been before
And there you might find a poem
Lost somewhere in the soft clouds
The clear sky or a pretty flower
Waiting for you!
by Amber Hickman (aged 8)


Have a great week

My Friend

Receive my simple gift of 'HI'
Wrapped with love,
Tied with care and
Sealed with a kiss.
Though my words are few,
My heart is true.
Friends I can make a lot,
But not as sweet as you.
When life gave me friends,
She tried to be fair.
When I got you,
I got more than my share...




... with Love

Ana
