True Understanding

Ara John Moresecian

True understanding must prevail
So that our love must never fail.
Thus we should settle our fight
Before we go to sleep at night.
And selfish feelings must be fought.
Or else they'll dictate every thought.
And always we should both discuss
All problems which are serious.
And if our thoughts don't harmonise
We both should try to compromise.
Thus if we don't mean what we say,
Some day our passion will decay.
Thus honesty must be the rule.
Or else our bond will surely cool.


There is Sunshine In a Smile

Helen Steiner Rice

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,
Laughter and pleasure, teardrops and pain,
All days can't be bright, but it's certainly true,
There was never
a cloud the sun didn't shine through-
So just keep on smiling whatever betide you,
Secure in the knowledge God is always beside you,
And you'll find when you smile
your day will be brighter
And all of your burdens will seem so much lighter-
For each time you smile you will find it true
Somebody, Somewhere will Smile Back At You,
And nothing on earth can make life more worthwhile
Than the sunshine and warmth of a Beautiful Smile.
