This is the season of love especially with Christmas just over and the new year has just started. Coming in February will be Saint Valentine’s Day. The season of loving, giving and sharing. In fact, the spirit of loving, giving and sharing should be on 365 days every day, every hour, every minute and every second. If there should be only one way of living, then love should be the way to live.
Sharing with you Close to You performed by Karen Carpenter, a lady with a very unique and beautiful voice.
Lyrics of Close to You
Why do birds suddenly appear,
every time you are near?
Just like me,they long to be
close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky,every time you walk by?
Just like me,they long to be close to you.
On the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to
create a dream come true.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair, with gold and starlight
in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town follow you all around;
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
Today, I would like to leave you with the beautiful and charming voice of Rachael Yamagata. It was through a friend’s sharing in her profile in Facebook when I first encountered Rachael Yamagata’s song; I fell in love with her voice. When I was exploring her other songs in Youtube and I came across one of her other songs ‘I Wish You Love.’ This is exactly the wish I have for you this weekend: I wish you love!
May this weekend fills you with loving thoughts from people around you and within yourself. May people around you speak to you with loving words and you reciprocate with words of love to them. May you also experience the loving deeds from people around you and you reciprocate with loving deeds to them. A fellow blogger, Megan, commented once, “I believe that in our lives, we are either vibrating with the energy of love, or we are not.”
Thus, I wish for all of us to be filled with loving thoughts, words, and actions for others and for ourselves.
I Wish You Love by Rachael Yamagata
Lyrics of I Wish You Love
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love.
This is specially dedicated to anyone who has lost a pet. I couldn’t lie to say that I understood what you had gone through since I did not own and lost any pet before. But I sincerely hope that you can find the strength to move on from the words and song. And one day, you will be reunited with your pets at the Rainbow Bridge.
The Rainbow Bridge Poem
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Do you know now that I must be going
To a place full of happy memories
In an emerald meadow by a Rainbow Bridge
You can hear heaven’s anthem on the breeze
Well, a heavenly light falls around me
In a twinkling my youth has been restored
Over green hills and valleys once again I roam free
Like the days when on eagle’s wing we soared
I’m surrounded by many companions
And together we pass our pleasant days
Every need is provided, there is nothing I lack
Save for you to whose memory my heart strays
When you’re heaven-bound
There’s a place you pass through
Called the Rainbow Bridge,
I’ll be waiting there for you
Yes, I’ll be waiting for you
With a heart that’s tried and true
Till the day I can feel , once again,
Your arms around me
Fare thee well now for I must be going
Dry your tears, no you must not cry for me
Till the day that we meet again at long journey’s end
At the Rainbow Bridge,
You know that’s where I’ll be
It is December 24 here and just a day away from Christmas. Are you already done with your Christmas shopping? Have you set up your wish list? What are the wishes you have for Santa Claus this year?
Whatever your wishes to Santa may be, I hope that they do come true for you. I would just like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
May you and your family experience peace, joy and harmony. May we also extend that peace, joy and harmony to people around us. With the thought of peace, loving kindness, compassion and understanding towards each other, we will be able to make our common dream comes true – that one day we are living in peace and harmony.
Differences divide while similarities bond us together. There was a saying which I chanced upon previously but I couldn’t recall the author of it now; it goes, “One day people will realise that there is only one race in this world – the human race.” Let us starts peace from within us.
Thank you Cathy for sharing the lyrics of Imagine by John Lennon with me in the previous post.
Imagine by John Lennon
Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
