The flowers are lovely but the words are even better

I have a friend from Oman who always send me some forward emails, some I just skim through and some I file away to be read in the future, but some of his forwards are really nice; this one in particular I thought that it must be shared with you, hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
 

   
We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...

The best kind of friends,
are 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 it's gone,
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,
And 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 comes to
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.
