Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times.
It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future, and it doesn't brood over the past. It's the day-in, day-out chronicle of irritations, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working towards common goals.
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that you lack.
If you don't have it, no matter what else you have, it's not enough.

I look in the mirror and what do I see
Surely that image cannot be me
My eyes are still blue and my hair is still blonde
Of those little wrinkles I'm not very fond
Oh mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me my looks are not fading at all
Lie to me loudly and make be believe
I'm not getting older I've nothing to grieve
I think what I'll do is turn out the light
Oh how wonderful I look - everything's alright!

The house is so silent, no men, no kids, no pets
Four walls to listen to the sound of my regrets
My memories they linger when I close my eyes
Those wonderful days when I was so wise
The cry of a baby, the sound of the door
The cats, the dogs, the children
Running round the floor
All of them gone now, the house is so still
I turn up the music the silence to kill
My friends and my lovers no longer around
I look at the phone it makes never a sound
But all is not lost from my hopes and my dreams
I sometimes imagine some magical schemes
Of places to go to and great food to eat
Of wonderful lovers and people to meet
So silence abounds but for only a while
And if I try very hard I can muster a smile
Is silence a sound or a feeling inside?
Tell me, I'll listen with my eyes open wide.....

Who will love you when you're old and grey?
Who will love you when your looks fade away?
Who will take that extra time
To tell you that you're doing fine?
It's not the hardest task to bear
To work out just who will be there,
It will be those who you call friend
That will love you till the very end.

Merry Christmas everyone,
And I hope you take the time,
To contact someone lonely,
To say, "you're on my mind".
It doesn't take much planning,
To just pick up the phone,
And ring to say Merry Christmas,
"are you all alone?"
I'm just about to do just that
and ring someone I know,
I hope you too can spread the love
and all give it a go!
Merry Christmas everyone and have a Healthy, Happy and Lucky 2017!!!

Buffybear's waiting for romance to come
Still looking for knights in armour
There goes one riding down the street,
No, that's just the local farmer.
Where is her Lancelot oh so brave
Who'll take her from her tower
Into his arms she'll fall with haste
Completely under his power.
Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo
Where are you hiding out?
Buffybear's waiting to hear her name called
But it's Romeo's turn for the shout!
With football and beer, motor-bikes and mates
How can true love find a way?
Buffybear's still waiting for romance to come
Or should she be willing to pay??? Oh no......
