Re: QUOTATIONS GALORE
Never stop caring about the quality of life
Never stop dreaming, never give in to strife
Never stop building bridges that lead to promising tomorrows
Never stop trying, don't give in to your sorrows.
Never stop smiling and
looking forward to each new day
But most of all my friend...
Never stop shining in your own special way
Never forget that all storms do clear
The grayest sky will turn blue
Remember brighter tomorrows are near...
And that God's always there for you.
Have A Wonderful Day
God Bless You All
