May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
The Gateless Gate
The Great Way has no gate.
A thousand roads enter it.
When one passes through this gateless gate,
he freely walks between heaven and earth.

"The Eagle is right," said the Lord Digory. "Listen, Peter. When Aslan said you could never go back to Narnia, he meant the Narnia you were thinking of. But that was not the real Narnia. That had a beginning and an end. It was only a shadow or a copy of the real Narnia which has always been here and always will be here: just as our world, England and all, is only a shadow or copy of something in Aslan's real world. You need not mourn over Narnia, Lucy. All of the old Narnia that mattered, all the dear creatures, have been drawn into the real Narnia through the Door. And of course it is different; as different as a real thing is from a shadow or as waking life is from a dream." His voice stirred everyone like a trumpet as he spoke these words: but when he added under his breath "It's all in Plato, all in Plato: bless me, what do they teach them at these schools!"'

Don't Go Without Me
RumiDancing
in ecstasy you go,
my
soul of souls Rumi
Don't
go without me.
Laughing
with you friends
you
enter the garden
Don't
go without me
Don't
let the Sky turn without me.
Don't
let the Moon shine without me.
Don't
let the Earth spin without me.
Don't
let the Days pass without me.
The
two worlds are joyous
because
of you
Don't
stay in this world without me.
Don't
go to the next world without me.
Don't
let your eyes look without me.
Don't
let your tongue speak without me.
Don't
let your hands hold without me.
Don't
let your soul stir without me.
Moonlight
reveals the sky's bright face.
I
am the light, you are the Moon
Don't
rise without me.
The
thorn is protected by the rose!
You
are the rose, I am the thorn
Don't
show your beauty without me.
I
am the curve of your mallet,
the
bits of stone beneath your chisel.
Don't
strike the stone without me.
Don't
move the chisel without me.
O
joyous companion of the King!
Don't
drink without me.
O
watchman on the rooftop!
Don't
stay up without me.
Woe
to those who travel alone
you
know every sign.
You've
walked along every path
Don't
go without me.
Some
call you love,
I
call you the King of Love.
You
are beyond all imaginings,
taking
me places
I
can't even dream of.
O
Ruler of my Heart,
wherever
you go
Don't
go without me.
Bob Dylan Death is not the end Lyrics:
When you're sad and when you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you held sacred
Falls down and dows not mend
Just remember that death is not the end.
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.
When you're standing on the cross-roads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end.
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.
When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there's nowhere there to comfort you
With helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end.
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.
Oh the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Shines in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
When the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find
Just one law abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end.
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end.
