scene from my memory

the last days...
[5/31/04 11:02 PM]

the end of the year is already here, and we're not ready to go
Who would've ever thought that we wouldn't want to leave Saint Lawrence? A neat little thought:
To realize the value of four years,
ask a graduate.
To realize the value of one year,
ask the student who failed a final exam.
To realize the value of one month,
ask the mother of a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one day,
ask the daily wage laborer who has ten kids to feed.
To realize the value of one hour,
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute,
ask someone who has missed a train.
To realize the value of one second,
ask the surviror of an accident.
To realize the value of one millisecond,
ask someone who has won the silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have!
And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,
special enough to spend your time.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!!
Friends are a very rare jewel indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend you an ear, they share words of praise,
and they always want to open their heart to you.
To realize the value of a friend,
lose one.

Mood: Thoughtful, although the smileys don't express it
