Hold on to what is good even if its a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you
Walk in beauty love and laughter
This is a question that haunts me.
I guess that the only way to say it is by just being honest.
I am not looking for the perfect woman,
I am looking for a woman that is perfect for me.
I would be lying if I said that looks are unimportant.
But I do look much deeper than the outer shell of a person.
I would like to meet someone with a set of values that they will stand behind.
They do not have to totally agree with my own,
but it would be great if we could share our views on life, love or religion and agree to disagree on our own views and not let them stand between us.
I can be very opinionated at times and stand behind my views and beliefs.
But they are not written in stone.
I am adaptable and interchangeable.
When I am wrong, I will freely admit it.
But if I feel I am right I will stick to my guns.
I will make my point known and then can put it behind me and not dwell on something that I can not change.
Many people ask me why I am still single.
I can explain this in a nutshell.
I want my next relationship to be my last relationship!
I have lived a full life, I have shared many wonderful memories with many different people in my lifetime.
I have been around the block more than once and sown my wild oats more than I care to admit.
But all this has led me to who I am today!
I am a father, brother, papaw, uncle, friend!
These things alone make me a very enriched man,
But there is certainly something missing...could it be you?
I am like the fabled Knight in shining armor, whose lifelong quest has been to find the Lady of his dreams.
A Lady that wants to be Loved and can give Love too.
I will not promise things that I can not give... But will give all that I can!
I want to share my life, my Love, my dreams with someone that I can grow old with.
Are you the "Lady" that is willing to take a chance and let this lonely old "Knight" have the next dance?
People come into your life for a
Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.
When you know which one it is,
you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered
and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, its REAL! But only for a Season!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid
emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person
and put what you have learned to use in all other
relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were
a Reason,
a Season
or a Lifetime.
I won't ask for your heart,
I won't ask for your hope,
I won't ask for your faith,
I won't ask for your soul,
I won't ask for your word,
I won't ask for your hand,
I won't ask for your promise,
I won't ask for a future,
I won't ask for your mind.
What I will ask for, however,
is that you just grant me some time.
"The most wonderful of all things in life,
I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty,
and joy as the years increase.
This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident."
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is
meaningless.Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or
for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your
life.Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've
been, but also where you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way
