I like this one, among other phrases: "True love begins when nothing is looked for in return." —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

The Spider's Web
The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.
Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.
-- E. B. White

This thread is too beautiful to let it die.. My personal fave..: "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain." ~ Emily Dickinson |

This is a poem I wrote about a year ago about my fiancee.
I feel so empty without you.
I long to be reunited before we even part.
You are the only place I feel whole.
Your arms sheild me from every memory that plagues my past,
Every regret that tears at my heart.
I'm so young to be this tired.
I struggle against it all only for you,
Thought I'd rather just give up.
You keep me sane.
Sometimes I just want to cry,
To let every tear I have fall lifelessly to the ground,
And I know I could.
I know I could lie down,
give-up,
be broken;
And you will pick me up,
You will fix me,
Dry my tears,
Give me hope.
Never will I belong anywhere that you are not.
I've become a part of you,
And you a part of me.
I'm so afraid of the future,
But I know whatever there is to bear,
You will be there beside me.
I can make it.
We can make it.

Mailied or May Day Celebration by J.W. v. Goethe How grandly nature
Shines upon me!
How glistens the sun!
How laughs the mead!
From countless branches
The blossoms thrust,
A thousand voices
From underbrush,
And joy ecstatic
Fills everyone.
O sun! O earth!
O risk! O fun!
O love, oh, lovely,
So golden fair
Like morning cloudlets
On that hill there!
You prosper grandly
The dew-fresh fields
With breath of flowers;
The whole Earth yields!
O maiden, maiden,
How I love thee!
Your eye's a-sparkle--
How you love me!
Just as the lark loves
Singing and sky,
And morning-blooms thrive
On heav'n-mists high--
So do I love you,
With throbbing heart,
Who give me the youth,
Joy, courage, art
To fashion new songs,
New dances free.
Be ever happy,
As you love me!i found an english translation, but i got to know it in german www.handmann.phantasus.de/g_mailied.html. |

If you are happy, don't even bother to analyze why... just feel it while it lasts.

Life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day.
-Barbara Sher
