When you and I Were Young, Maggie
Here is a well known song from yester year, by George Washington Johnson, about growing old. Although it is often found in the repertoire of Scottish singers, George Johnson was a Canadian from Toronto. "Maggie" was Margaret Clark, a pupil of George Johnson who was a schoolteacher. Maggie and George fell in love but although they became engaged, Maggie contracted TB. During one of his fiancee's more serious bouts of illness, George walked to a nearby hill, overlooking a mill, and composed the verse that provided the lyrics to his song. George and Maggie were married in 1864 but Maggie's health deteriorated and she died on May 12, 1865. George's friend, J.C. Butterfield set the poem to music and it became popular all over the world. George Washington Johnson died in 1917.

VERY TRUE....GOOD WAY TO BEGIN EACH DAY... LIFE
As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30.00 watch - - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or a $30.00 wallet/handbag - - the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - - the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft. - - loneliness is the same.
You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sung songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth - - That is true happiness!!
FIVE UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE:
1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.
2. BEST AWARDED WORDS: "EAT YOUR FOOD AS YOUR MEDICINES. OTHERWISE YOU HAVE TO EAT MEDICINES AS YOUR FOOD."
3. THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU BECAUSE EVEN IF THERE ARE
100 REASONS TO GIVE UP HE OR SHE WILL FIND ONE REASON TO HOLD ON.
4. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HUMAN BEAN, AND BEING HUMAN. ONLY
A FEW, REALLY, UNDERSTAND IT.
5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage!6: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!
SIX BEST DOCTORS IN THE WORLD:
1. Sunlight
2. Rest
3. Exercise
4. Diet
5. Self Confidence and
6. Friends
Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
P.S. PLEASE don't share...Just copy and paste to your own page, YOUR OWN WALL, WHEREVER. you see, read, and REMEMBER THE WORDS. .

A Tree Song / Oak, Ash and Thorn, by Joseph Rudyard Kipling; 30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936.
Of
all the trees that grow so fair,
Old England to adorn,
Greater is none beneath the sun,
Than Oak, and Ash, and Thorn.
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good
sirs,
(All of a Midsummer morn!)
Surely we sing of no little thing,
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Oak of the Clay lived many a day,
Or ever Aeneas began.
Ash of the Loam was a Lady at home,
When Brut was an outlaw man.
Thorn of the Down saw New Troy Town
(From which was London born);
Witness hereby the ancientry
Of Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Yew that is old in
churchyard-mould,
He breedeth a mighty bow.
Alder for shoes do wise men choose,
And beech for cups also.
But when ye have killed, and your
bowl is spilled,
And your shoes are clean
outworn,
Back ye must speed for all that ye
need,
To Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Ellum she hateth mankind, and
waiteth
Till every gust be laid,
To drop a limb on the head of him
That any way trusts her shade.
But whether a lad be sober or sad,
Or mellow with wine from the
horn,
He will take no wrong when he lieth
along
'Neath Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Oh, do not tell the priest our
plight,
Or he would call it a sin;
But--we have been out in the woods
all night,
A-conjuring Summer in!
And we bring you good news by word
of mouth --
Good news for cattle and corn
--
Now is the Sun come up from the
south,
With Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good
sirs
(All of a Midsummer morn)!
England shall bide till Judgement
Tide,
By Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!

A Serenity Prayer, to the Higher Power
May a higher power grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
full realisation; the only thing I can change is myself
my errant thinking.
Courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time.
Enjoying one moment at a time; as it may well be my last.
Accepting hardships
They are the only pathway to peace.
Doing, taking, as Nature, the Creator asks,
in this sinful world; in all the realms;
as they do exist, not as I would have them.
Trusting that Nature alone can or will;
make all things right;
if I surrender envisioned entitlements.
That I may be reasonably happy in this round life;
supremely happy with whatever is next.
Or, when I find myself in times of trouble
speaking words of wisdom, let dear Nature come
and in my hour of darkness, stand right beside me;
so I hear these words of wisdom, let it be.
Before I let any aspect or belief in life control me,
Let that life be ended;let it be.
And when the broken-hearted people,
living in the world agree; there will be an answer;
for though they may be parted,
there is still a chance that they will see.
There will be an answer, so it be.
If it be in your plan, so be it
.~~Al (Alex-Alexander) D. Girvan.

Knowledge Speaks, but Wisdom Listens.
You don’t have to keep flashing those words all the time.
You have to forget about what other people say,
When you’re supposed to die,
When or whom, you’re
supposed to love.
You have to forget about all these things.
When the power of love overcomes;
The love of power;
The world will know
peace.
To be with the others.
You have to have your hair short and wear ties.
We’re trying to make a third world happen,
You, know what I
mean?
The story of life, quicker the blink of an eye,
The story of love is
hello, goodbye.
I’ve been imitated so well;
I’ve heard people
copy my mistakes.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
~~~Al (Alex-Alexander) D Girvan.

“Son of God” Creator, Holy Spirit, Redeemer, Sustainer of life. Here an image of persons three, Of the Trinity.
Christians are continually,
and forever claiming,
God so loved the world,
That he gave his only begotten son,
Jesus Christ.
“Son of God” Creator, Holy Spirit, Redeemer,
Sustainer of
life.
Here an image of persons three,
Of the Trinity.
Father , Son, Holly Spirit represented by,
Two white men and a bird.
How can they then explain,
For God so loved the world that;
He gave not anything,
While causing pain and suffering.
Always commanding, demanding, taking,
In case you were wondering,
Christ is the one with the cross.
In case you were wondering,
Christ is the one with the cross.
It be so. So it be.

Nature -The Creator
is confined to neither earth or heaven.Nature has no mere mortal or heavenly image, is neither male or female mother or father. Nature exists, as a part of in every one, every thing on earth, in any hell, even if man made, and in every heaven everywhere. If you want laws; or a system which works; you must follow those that Nature wrote. The one commandment =
Respect.
