The Color of Love

Posted by Forget-me-Not on April 7, 2010



Some are black and some are white,
Some are wrong and some are right,
Some get rich and some stay poor,
Some make peace and some make war.

Some stay quiet, some make scenes,
Some say yes and some say no,
Some will tell you where to go.

But underneath our different skin,
The same heart beats, deep within.
For brothers, sisters all are we,
Meant to liv

Peace Of Mind

Posted by Dreamer Ḿǻ₦ on April 7, 2010
Let not your hearts be troubled!

PEACE OF MINDIf you were to ask your neighbour,"What would give you peace of mind?" he might tell you,"A vacation in Bermuda!" or"An extra hundred grand would give me peace!", or"A new Ferrari would make me content!"But going places – and getting stuff – is usually a temporary solution ...Peace of mind rarely comes from getting more stuff.Getting more stuff usually leads to wanting even more stuff!Peace of mind starts with being grateful for what we have right now

I believe in the principles; a love should be daily expressed in life. So if a love wh
