ANOTHER GLASS OF LEMON aid

The lemons keep falling, The presses keep calling.
With the ally cats balling, As a star is now falling.
The sugar is sweetly grand,
Like The gift of a young girls hand.
Makes you strike up the band,
As the battel's line is drawn in the sand.
The flow from the press, like the words that they use,
Is sour at best, but some of it's fresh.
Drawing out the acid that hides from with in.
They turn down the presses with a terrible grin.
The work is quite rough, but the press, It will win.
If you don't wash your hands then the acid will win.
The drippings will fall where ever they will.
But with the help of a very large pail,
All juice is collected, Every drop with out fail.
For if it were not, I surly would wail.
To get out harsh words, The juice is screened.
Then sugar is added and a glass I do need.
Will you join me?, I hope so indeed! :o)

Truth Is Truth

what is worse, the feeling of mystery?
or the feeling of knowing the painfull
truth? what is better, knowing the truth,
or the search for it?

i would rather know the truth.
for not knowing is the greatest pain.
unless the truth is going to be a lie.
i would rather die in vain!

the truth can hurt
the truth can heal
the truth can even heal the hurt.
the truth can set you free!
the truth can trap you in a lie.
i like truth that can just be true.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what I've had, and I'm not sad because I have it no longer.

Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"

I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time.

I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting to get a different result. Persistence is great, but you must persist with something that works.
