Companion

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them. John Ruskin


I feel there's a halo
around me, a
constant sunshine
wherever I go.
Vicky Kaushal



The duty of happiness 
becomes clearer 
when we see how
it affects others.
 It is the merry heart
 that makes . . . 
other hearts merry. 
The sunny soul 
brings sunshine
 everywhere. 
A bright and 
happy temperament
 is a great social asset, 
adding to the happiness 
of the world. 
   Hugh Black




You are never alone There is a warmth Remaining always, a quiet hand resting beneath perception Until you begin to notice. Your body the faithful friend has carried you through every dark Never asking why. Even now it leans toward you Ever faithful Chanting We will stay. So come Lay your hand on your own heart. Feel how it answers back. This is your first friend. Until the end. Loving you all along. Cloudia Charters
