Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls or riches,
But the love of real true friends”

3. Another Chance
Helen Steiner Rice

4. To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little sunshine
To the world in which we’re living.
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there’s always a tomorrow
And the hope of starting new.
