CONFUCIUS’ WORDS
If there be righteousness in the heart,
There will be beauty in the character.
If there is beauty in the character,
There will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in each nation,
There will be peace in the world.
PRAYERS TO THE LORD
The Lord is my pilot
I shall not drift.
He lighteth me across dark waters,
He steereth in deep channels;
He keepeth my log;
He guideth me by the star of holiness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I sail amid the thunders and tempest of life
I shall dread no danger, for thou art with me,
Thy love and thy care they shelter me.
Thou preparest a harbour before me in the homeland of eternity.
Thou anoinest the waves with oil, my ship rideth calmly.
Surely sunlight and starlight shall favour me on the voyage I take;
And I will rest in the port of my God forever.
ENIGMA
The beginning of Eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end
And the end of every place
COUPLETS
For sapphires we are held in here,
Only you can end our fear.
Until dawn comes we cannot speak,
No words can come from this sad beak.
The first thing you read contains the clue:
An initial way to speak to you.
Inside these letters, the eye will see
Nearby are your friends, and V.F.D.
FRIENDSHIP POEM
If a kiss was a raindrop
I send you showers,
If a hug was a second
I send you hours,
If smiles were water
I send you the sea,
And if love is a person
I send you ME!
A RED, RED ROSE
My love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly growing in June;
My love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my love,
Thou it were ten thousand mile.
