It's the beauty of a sunrise, and the wonder of a starry night, The magic of a dream, and the thrill of taking flight. It's the sense of accomplishment and the pride of a job well done, The feeling of being alive and having fun”

“In the garden of life, where flowers bloom and grow, Contentment and happiness are the two most beautiful to show. They are the roses and lilies that fragrance the air, And bring joy to all who behold them, without a single care. So let us tend to this garden, with love and with care, And make sure that these two flowers are always there. For when they bloom and flourish, the world is a beautiful sight, And the riches of contentment and happiness shine with all their might.”
