i read this interesting poem frm "Daily Bread". some Christian stuff. n i thot i cld share it with u guys out there

SAY IT NOW
I would rather have one little rose
From the garden of a friend
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end

I would rather have a pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still
And life has ceased to be

I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed 'round my casket
When to this world i bid adieu

Bring me all your flowers today
Whether pink, or white, or red
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truckload when I'm dead

dun u think this poem is so... interesting? i wouldnt go right to beautiful... becuz... it sounds rather depressing. but i think... its really meaningful anw. quite true. happens to many ppl. sth real for once.

Recalling all the good qualities of friends or relatives who left when they leave is appropriate, but how much better to give sincere praise to them while they are still around. It may be the encouragement they desperately need.

Do you owe someone a word of thanks or appreciation? Don't put it off. Say it today. Tomorrow may be too late.

hahahaha. i'm making sense. today is jq's dad bdae. she was rather... rude to her dad. rather cold to him. she says tt her dad scolded vulgarities. but... afterall, he's still ur dad. it is only right for her to respect him no matter what. even when he's wrong. u owe him ur life. hahahaha. jq gg to have alot of comments when she reads this. bleahx.
seriously.. i should apply this logic to myself. i suddenly think of the way i treat my dad... i'm telling jq to respect her dad evn when he's wrong... but... i dun practise tt myself. i'll try. my new resolution. but... sometimes. its really hard. ARGHS! LYNETTE, STOP BEING TO PASSIVE! i must be positive...i must be positive...i must be positive...

hahaha. k. jq n i were at suntec.. picket n rail. she got a new bed. haha. she doesnt really like it. but. think positive of what u have. n not what u dun have. she wants the one from IKEA. but. her dad's the biggest. hehx. thn after tt left her parents. went to eat. thn went to topshop. went to the men's department where there was this football game. hahaha. played 3 games. of cuz. i won. hahaha. not jq' fault. i got experience mah. i have the game at home. bleahx.

sigh. i'm still quite tired. but not as tired as a few days ago. haha. trying to get as much slp as possible. lit test tmr. GOD BLESS ME! hehx.
