A Prayer for peace

“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”
― St. Francis of Assisi

Everyday is February

 You're so beautiful ,You're so fine
I wish so dearly that you would be mine
Today and always you are in my heart
So please make me happy be My Valentine,
Forever and always we will never be apart.

 We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another. 

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” 

 

What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you.

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.

Love would never be a promise of a rose garden unless it is showered with light of faith, water of sincerity and air of passion.

 

If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.

You don't marry someone you can live with - you marry the person who you cannot live without. 


If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don't, their love was never yours to begin with...

 The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.” 
― Marilyn Monroe

 “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” 
― Dr. Seuss

 
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

 “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.” 
― Mother Teresa

In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.

There is no silence in my heart, when I'm in love. There is not tears from my soul, no longing or hatred -- only passion, love and romance. When I'm with you, this is how I am. I love you.

Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says 'For the woman I love' and the second, 'For my best friend'.



“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” 
― Lao Tzu


“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 
― Anonymous, Holy Bible: 

A Mother Earth

If you want to see something

that's truly beautiful,

gaze at the picture of earth above

and imagine her magnificent

oceans with white-capped waves,

warm sandy beaches,

gentle water falls,

meadows brimming with

wildflowers of every color,

misty hills beneath a purple horizon,

and great stands of woods

that stretch farther than

the eye can see.

Her body provides us with

nourishment and gives us shelter.

There's healing power

in her every leaf and brook,

and serenity can be found

in her soft bosom.

She's a living miracle in the

blackness of space,

a true gift from God.

She is our Mother,

providing all we need

and cradling us gently

in her loving arms.

She is home,

a vital part of who we are,

the essence of our being.

God put her in our trust,

so please take good care of her.

Respect her and all life upon her;

for we're all connected

to each other...

and to her.

♥Reach My Heart♥

♥How can I write a poem 

about my love for you?

Words can't begin

to convey the way my heart♥

goes into overdrive

when I think of you.

What phrases can replace

the light that glows within

when I imagine us together?

I could write you

a love song,

but no music can

express the depth

of what I feel for you.

No song can stir me

the way the sound

of your voice does.

You're the notes

rising above life's din,

crossing rivers

and climbing

over mountains

to reach my heart.♥

Sweet Dream

Every night when I close my eyes,
I drift to sweet dreams of you.
I imagine the taste of your lips,
the feel of your hands in mine,
and the softness of your hair
 brushing against my cheek...
and suddenly I'm strong yet weak
from my need for you.
And when you hold me close,
and look into my eyes
as you whisper how much you love me,
I'm carried gently to the clouds.
Your love makes me feel
so alive and proud
of the person I am
when I'm with you.
Yet when the stars fade
as dawn breaks,
you kiss me goodbye at the door,
and I awake needing you even more
than I did the day before.
I'm missing you badly,
and I wish you were here.
But though you're far away,
in my heart you'll stay.
I'll never quit wishing
that you were here beside me,
but until that day,
I've only to dream about you,
and I escape to that place
in my heart,
where we're never apart.

Who Invented Airplane

Whright Brothers

Many people worked on various kinds of gliders and other planes over the years, so no one person invented the airplane. The Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio, are generally recognized as making the first powered aircraft flight (but see below).

On December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers launched the first successful air flight at Kitty Hawk, NC, flying over the location four times. Orville flew the first flight, Wilbur having encountered difficulties in his own attempt on December 14. On May 22, 1906, the brothers received a patent for their design of the first airplane, or "Flying Machine." The flight and plane changed the ideas of transportation around the world, even though their prototype only flew for a few seconds. Worldwide, inventors began building many different types of powered aircraft. 

Before the Wright Brothers flight

Frenchman Clement Ader (1841-1925) flew a steam-powered bat-winged plane in Paris in 1890. It is accepted that the aircraft, EOLE, took off, reaching a height of 20 cm (8 inches), and flew uncontrolled for approximately 50 m (160 ft). This was 13 years before the Wright Brothers' famous flight. Ader is known for his prescient suggestions regarding ships used as airfields (the aircraft carrier). 

Prior to this, in 1848, John Stringfellow from Chard, Somerset, England, achieved the first unmanned powered flight using a steam-powered monoplane called The Flying Machine. Its steam engine made it impractically heavy, and it was limited to very short flights inside a hangar.

                                      Wright Brothers' Flying Machine

Orville Wright & Wilbur Wright - First Piloted & Powered Airplane

"Flight is possible to man...[and] I feel that it will soon cost me an increased amount of money if not my life". - Wilbur Wright Co-Inventor of the first engined airplane.

Orville Wright (1871-1948) and Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) had requested a patent application for a "flying machine" nine months before their first successful flight, they were that confidant.

As part of the Wright Brothers' systematic practice of photographing every prototype and test of their various flying machines, they had persuaded an attendant from a nearby lifesaving station to snap Orville Wright in full flight. The craft soared to an altitude of 10 feet, traveled 120 feet, and landed 12 seconds after takeoff. After making two longer flights that day, Orville and Wilbur Wright sent a telegram to their father, instructing him to inform the press that manned flight had taken place. This was birth of the first real airplane.

What is an Airplane?

Most of us only have to look up into the sky to see an airplane, and many of us have traveled by airplane to places that would have taken much longer by any other means of transportation. An airplane by definition is an aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets.
