One

One minute makes a difference
When running for the train.
One car will change your day
If you're in a crowded lane.

One sentence works a wonder,
If it's needed to be heard.
One deed brings a person light,
As does one kindly word.

One meal is often missed,
One crime means doing time,
One shoe is always searched for,
As is, at times, one dime.

But the greatest One of all,
Be it parent, teacher, friend,
Is the one with you when you're down;
Beside you to the end.

Step forward

Take the step forward
Your nightmares may follow you
But you will surpass them
And accomplish your dreams

Um passo começa tudo

Porque não começar?
Estará o início envolvido num mistério aterrador?
Dar o primeiro passo elimina o medo ou cria um maior?

Pensamento do dia

Não deixes que o mundo abata sobre ti,
corre como tudo
e vai ao encontro de quem é teu amigo.

Why not dream the impossible?

The impossible is nothing but fiction
but a mere shade of our limitations
or so we think...

Can the desire be so far away from the human possibility?

Porque queremos tudo?

Porque queremos tudo?
O tudo é contraditório em si.

Eu não quero tudo.
Mas talvez queira muito.

... the end

Everything is okay in the end.
If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

Eu desconfiava

Todas as guerras do mundo são iguais.
Todas as fomes são iguais.
Todos os amores, iguais iguais iguais.
Iguais todos os rompimentos.
A morte é igualíssima.
Todas as criações da natureza são iguais.
Todas as acções, cruéis, piedosas ou indiferentes, são iguais.
Contudo, o homem não é igual a nenhum outro homem, bicho ou coisa.
Não é igual a nada.
Todo ser humano é um estranho ímpar.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Friends for life

In this world things come and go.
With life's twists and turns
it's hard to determine what the future may hold.
The only real guarantee is nothing stays the same,
and least when we expect it our lives are changed.

If by some chance
We happen to lose touch
Please know that I'll be
Thinking of you and missing you very much.

So before today ends
I wanted to say
I'm thankful that we're friends
Yesterday & today.

With time and good fortune on our side
I hope that we see forever and stay
FRIENDS FOR LIFE!

Asalam - o - Alikum
