Religious-Verses-And-Poems A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, A life – well lived, is a precious gift That we still are. of hope and strength and grace Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way from someone who has made our Which you always used; world a brighter, better place. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. It’s filled with moments sweet and sad, Laugh as we always laughed At the little jokes we enjoyed together. with smiles and sometimes tears. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word With friendships formed That it always was, and good times shared, Let is be spoken without effect, Without the trace of a shadow on it. and laughter through the years. Life means all that it is ever meant, It is the same as it ever was. A life – well lived, is a legacy of There is absolutely unbroken continuity. joy, pride and pleasure, Why should I be out of mind Because I am out of sight? a loving, lasting memory I am but waiting for you, our hearts will always treasure. For an interval; Somewhere very near, Just around the corner, All is well. 5 By Canon Henry Scott Holland 6 AN ANGEL IN YOUR POCKET I am a tiny angel… I’m smaller than your thumb; I live in people’s pockets, That’s where I have my fun. I don’t suppose you’ve seen me, An Irish Blessing I’m too tiny to detect; Though I’m with you all the time, May the road rise up to meet you, I doubt we’ve ever met. Before I was an Angel… May the wind be always at your back, I was a fairy in a flower; May the sun shine warm upon your face, God, Himself, hand-picked me, The rains fall soft upon your fields, And gave me angel power. Now God has many Angels And until we meet again, may you That He trains in Angel pools; Be gently held in the palm of God’s hand. We become His eyes, and ears, and hands… We become His special tools. And because God is so busy, With way too much to do; He said that my assignment Is to keep close watch on you. When he tucked me in your pocket, He blessed you with Angel care; Then told me never to leave you, And I vowed always to be there. 7 8 CANCER “Cancer is so limited… It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. Another sweet flower has withered, It cannot corrode faith. A gem from the casket set free. A lamb in the fold of the Shepherd It cannot destroy peace. Who said: “Let them come unto Me.” It cannot kill friendship. It cannot suppress memories. It cannot invade the soul. It cannot steal eternal life. It cannot conquer the spirit.” 9 10 Children hardly know or guess The love their fathers can’t express Children do not realize With thoughts he seldom said aloud, Until we’re fully grown, we never His heart is warm, his feeling proud. Really know or understand They do not fully understand How wonderful our Father is, His wisdom and his guiding hand, How kind he is, how wise… They do not know each helpful word We simply take for granted Holds love unspoken, hope unheard. From day to passing day, Yet as the busy years roll past, Each sacrifice he makes for us They come to understand at last In his own loving way. The worries and the fears he knew But then we grow and finally learn The problem times he pulled them through. The way that children do, They finally learn the full extent How much his love has really meant Of what a father’s love has meant How thoughtful he’s been too. And realize how great it’s been To have a father just like him. 11 12 14 Christmas In Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sound of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart. So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift from my heaven above, I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all, “Love” is the gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, For I can’t count the Blessing of Love He has for you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear, Remember, I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. 13 DEAR MOM It seems like only yesterday you said to put Cry not when you think of me our things away. You were always there For now my soul flies high and free when we stood or fell. We’d try it on our own, and you’d wish us well. As you taught Take comfort in knowing there is no more pain us, the more we learned our love and respect was more than earned. You always knew Encircled in the Lords arms I live again when we needed you, what was false and what was true. You helped us out over and I’ll look down and love you all over again you were wonderful as a Wife, But for me there is a greater call Mother and Friend. So special you were in your own way. How we’ll always love you, Please don’t stand at my grave and weep how we’ll pray that where you are, you’ll Gaze to the stars and there I’ll be know how much we care and treasure all the memories that we can share. “Be strong and And someday together we will see go forward” you’d tell us to do being ever so grateful to have known you. We felt bad for Our love has lasted through eternity ourselves, but not for you. If it’s what He planned, it’s what He must do. All your cares are gone and you’ll feel no pain. The love we all shared, will forever remain. 15 16 Death: Understanding the Trip No goodbye was spoken, there was none needed There was an understood farewell But grasping the truth at first Was like reaching for the stars A task that drained emotion Not knowing what would come next - or would not The pain was overbearing, suffocating emotional bag Deep are the memories The end had come and hope had dissolved Like the sugar in a cup of burning tea I didn’t know what to feel Precious they stay Anguish or anger, sorrow or surprise Confusion began to smother me, like sand on a fire No passing of time But now the light of understanding is bright The stars are closer It is no more of a reach but right at my side I reach for reality and truth without strain Can take them away I comprehend With soul, mind and body I am at peace I see it was time Fate took hold But I will stay brave and forge ahead Death came for a visit and took a companion But I understand.

    CCAMLR Science, Vol. 17 (2010): 179–195 INTERACTIONS OF PATAGONIAN TOOTHFISH FISHERIES WITH KILLER AND SPERM WHALES IN THE CROZET ISLANDS EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE: AN ASSESSMENT OF DEPREDATION LEVELS AND INSIGHTS ON POSSIBLE MITIGATION STRATEGIES P. Tixier1, N. Gasco2, G. Duhamel2, M. Viviant1, M. Authier1 and C. Guinet1 1 Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé CNRS, UPR 1934 Villiers-en-Bois, 79360 France Email – [email protected] 2 MNHN Paris, 75005 France Abstract Within the Crozet Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline fishery is exposed to high levels of depredation by killer (Orcinus orca) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). From 2003 to 2008, sperm whales alone, killer whales alone, and the two species co-occurring were observed on 32.6%, 18.6% and 23.4% respectively of the 4 289 hauled lines. It was estimated that a total of 571 tonnes (€4.8 million) of Patagonian toothfish were lost due to depredation by killer whales and both killer and sperm whales. Killer whales were found to be responsible for the largest part of this loss (>75%), while sperm whales had a lower impact (>25%). Photo-identification data revealed 35 killer whales belonging to four different pods were involved in 81.3% of the interactions. Significant variations of interaction rates with killer whales were detected between vessels suggesting the influence of operational factors on depredation. When killer whales were absent at the beginning of the line hauling process, short lines (<5 000 m) provided higher yield and were significantly less impacted by depredation than longer lines.

    The Go-Giver A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea By Bob Burg and John David Mann Excerpted from The Go-Giver. Published by Portfolio / Penguin. Copyright Bob Burg and John David Mann, 2007-2013. 1: The Go-Getter If there was anyone at the Clason-Hill Trust Corporation who was a go-getter, it was Joe. He worked hard, worked fast, and was headed for the top. At least, that was his plan. Joe was an ambitious young man, aiming for the stars. 4 Still, sometimes it felt as if the harder and faster he worked, the further away his goals appeared. For such a 6 dedicated go-getter, it seemed like he was doing a lot of going but not a lot of getting. 8 Work being as busy as it was, though, Joe didn’t have 9 much time to think about that. Especially on a day like today—a Friday, with only a week left in the quarter and a critical deadline to meet. A deadline he couldn’t afford not to meet. Today, in the waning hours of the afternoon, Joe decided it was time to call in a favor, so he placed a phone call— but the conversation wasn’t going well. “Carl, tell me you’re not telling me this . .” Joe took a breath to keep the desperation out of his voice. “Neil Hansen?!

  • LLT 180 Lecture 22 1 Today We're Gonna Pick up with Gottfried Von Strassburg. As Most of You Already Know, and It's Been Alle
    LLT 180 Lecture 22 1 Today we're gonna pick up with Gottfried von Strassburg. As most of you already know, and it's been alleged and I readily admit, that I'm an occasional attention slut. Obviously, otherwise, I wouldn't permit it to be recorded for TV. And, you know, if you pick up your Standard today, it always surprises me -- actually, if you live in Springfield, you might have met me before without realizing it. I like to cook and a colleague in the department -- his wife's an editor for the Springfield paper and she also writes a weekly column for the "Home" section. And so he and I were talking about pans one day and I was, you know, saying, "Well," you know, "so many people fail to cook because they don't have the perfect pan." And she was wanting to write an article about pans. She'd been trying to convince him to buy better pans. And so she said, "Hey, would you pose for a picture with pans? I'm writing this article." And so I said, "Oh, what the heck." And so she came over and took this photo. And a couple of weeks later, I opened Sunday morning's paper -- 'cause I knew it was gonna be in that week -- and went over to the "Home" section. And there was this color photo, about this big, and I went, "Oh, crap," you know. So whatever. Gottfried. Again, as they tell you here, we don't know much about these people, and this is really about love.

  • Thank You Very Much. I Am Very Pleased and Honored to Be with You Today
    Thank you very much. I am very pleased and honored to be with you today. I would also like to extend my warm welcome to Vilnius. It is indeed a charming and special city. How do I recommend you might enjoy the city? Wander the narrow streets of the Old Town and if you see a courtyard, explore it- You might be surprised how far it goes and you never know what you may see! Vilnius has about 100 churches and are worth a visit. Many have been lovingly and beautifully restored. My husband has been with the State Department as a diplomat for over 30 years. Both born in New England, our upbringing in Massachusetts and Connecticut was far removed from the wandering life. Both us moved locally when we were 3 and then except to live at college, did not leave that house until we were married at the tender age of 21. In fact, I knew so little of the life that when John told me at age 19 when we first met, that he wanted to become a Foreign Service officer, I asked, “What’s that??” But after completing a Master’s in International Relations and the numerous tests and screenings of the State Department, he did indeed become a Foreign Service officer. Our first assignment was in Mexico City- a small city at the time that had only about 15 million people and it seemed about that many cars! We actually drove to the city from Washington D.C over a week’s time. John had never been out of the country and I had only ventured to Canada.
