But do you know what?
All people have a special song
Inside their hearts!
Everyone in the whole wide world
Has a special Heartsong.
If you believe in magical, musical hearts,
And if you believe you can be happy,
Then you, too, will hear your song.

 

Mattie Stepanek, Heartsongs
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met in the streets

a very poor young man

who was in love.

His hat was old,

his coat was torn,

The water passed thru his shoes

and the stars through his soul.

victor hugo

 

Learn, what dwells in man.

Love has been given to men

To dwell in their hearts.

 

Learn, What is not given to man.

It is not given to men

To know their own needs.

 

Learn, What Men Live by.

Man does not live by care for himself

But by the love for them that is in other's hearts.
