"A Gift Of Thistle"







A Scottish going-away song that is played at funerals with bagpipes. It was played in the movie,"Braveheart". The name of the music is "A Gift of A Thistle". I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This is beautiful







The best kind of friend

Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,

Never say a word, and then walk away

Feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.








It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it,

But it's also true that we don't know

What we've been missing until it arrives.











Giving someone all your love

Is never an assurance that they'll love you back!

Don't expect love in return;

Just wait for it to grow in their heart

But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,

An hour to like someone,

And a day to love someone,

But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.








Don't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile

Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

Find the one that makes your heart smile.







May you have

Enough happiness to make you sweet,

Enough trials to make you strong,

Enough sorrow to keep you human,

Enough hope to make you happy.








Always put yourself in others' shoes.

If you feel that it hurts you,

It probably hurts the other person, too


The happiest of people

Don't necessarily have the best of everything;

They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.







Happiness lies for those who cry,

Those who hurt, those who have searched,

And those who have tried,

For only they can appreciate the importance of people

Who have touched their lives.




When you were born, you were crying

And everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die,

You're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

To those people who mean something to you,

To those who have touched your life in one way or another,

To those who make you smile when you really need it,

To those that make you see the brighter side of things

When you are really down,

To those who you want to let them know

That you appreciate their friendship.

And if you don't, don't worry,

Nothing bad will happen to you,

You will just miss out on the opportunity

To brighten someone's day with this message...
