Some of them are still searching for a displaced relative or two and pr

If you go away - Jacques Brel

Posted by Forget-me-Not on September 25, 2009

If you go away on this summer dayThen you might as well take the sun awayAll the birds that flew in the summer skyWhen our love was new and our hearts were highWhen the days were young and the night was longAnd the moon stood still for the night birds' songIf you go awayBut if you stay I'll make you a dayLike no day has been or will be againWe'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rainAnd talk to the trees and worship the windBut if you go I'll understandLeave me just enough love to fill up my hand

Writing challenge#11 A day in life of a tree on the beach

Posted by kamel Adas on September 25, 2009

Alone in the seaside, still since ages. Many people passed by me . I had known a lot of secrets. I'm the old tree and the only one in this wide beach. I wish I could have very, very long legs in order to leave this place and to move away from this beach. I remembered that singer who sang a very long sad song which is full of melancholy. I don't know where he is now. He sat under my shadow then went. One day, very old day, a group of pirates had sit under my shadow , talked about a treasure map a

when I was at school , I was intrested in english. But I didn't have chances to learn because I am from a local area, so that I had no chance to lean english besides school, one more thing, my english teacher was only teaching me the grammer and they were not good at phonetics and I only leaned by my self with some books my uncle gave me. So, now, when I am leaning at the University, I have more chances to attend English classes and I realize that my listening and speaking skills is so bad. Spec

Umar........I love you

Posted by joweria on September 24, 2009

Read the following blog to discover why I do love that ManWhen Islam appeared on the world stage, the world economy was based on slavery. Islam was the first religion to raise its voice against slavery. Among the early converts to Islam, many were slaves. Indeed one of the reasons for the hostility of the Quraish against Islam was that they saw in Islam a hostile force to slavery on which the economy of Mecca was based.When Umar became the Caliph of Islam, he took particular measures to eliminat

The forget-me-not legend. I think it really fits me .

Posted by Forget-me-Not on September 23, 2009

This flower name is an English translation of the French, 'ne m'oubliez pas'. There is a legend from the Middle Ages about a knight and his lady who were walking near a river. He was picking flowers for her, and wearing heavy armor when he accidentally fell in the river. Before he sunk below the water, he threw the flowers to her, shouting, "Forget me not!" Lovers wore Forget Me Nots in 15th century Germany to remember each other when they were apart. Since these times, the flower has been assoc
