Into each life 

some rain must fall.

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

True friends are like bright sunflowers that never fade away, 

even over distance and time.

 

Be YOURSELF

May your path
be strewn
with flowers

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever

--John Keats

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.

Traditional English Carol

Trees are the earth's endless effort

 to speak to the listening heavens.

---Rabindranath Tagore
