On Tuesday the 15th July, Launceston East and West YW/YM had a combined activity held at the Reeves.
This is how the story goes:
It was dark and cold as we walked through mud, trees and little boys jumping out from behind bushes! But at the end of the perilous trail there was a light.. A giant beacon of light.. A light so big that it could be seen from the city - Yep, that's right, it was the "Bonfire"! It was warm, [VERY HOT!! Almost too hot!], light, and exciting. We all positioned ourselves, a decent distance away from the spouting embers and blazing heat, around the fire and our MC opened up the proceedings for the night.
Our MC was a dashing young chap; broad-shouldered, a gentle giant named Danyall Richard! It was he who announced our next character in the story. Ben Terry. He was a stout, well-groomed, witty fellow from the land of West Launceston. He stood before the burning fire and enlightened us with his clever words of wisdom. Next to follow Ben came a lean, mean, fun-machine named Joe Rogers! His big great smile dazzled the crowds as he too had an important message to share. Next came a slender beauty; a fair maiden named Tanya Honey. She greeted us with kind friendly words and then left us with a beautiful song. By this point the hearts and minds of all were filled with Happiness, Hope, Friendship and Inspiration.
But the feast of 'good-stuff' didn't end here.
Before us now stood a strapping, wise man; tall, well-dressed and refined by the years. Bishop Mitchell was his name, profound words was his game and listening/ learning from was OUR aim. So filled with stirring words, testimonies were shared as our bodies were filled with an intense warmth! [Was that the spirit or the fire? Hmm] Our main man dan concluded the night. And like all happy endings we ended with a song, Happy hearts, warm freinds, tummies filled with marshmallows.
THE END :)

Obviously i can't share the music that goes with this Song, but i can at least share the Lyrics. It's a soft, pleasant, almost 'cheerful' tune... Kind of like a Jack Johnson meets Colbie Caillat style. Anyways, here are the lyrics...

"Sweetest Memory"
(Verse 1)
I remember it was autum,
leaves were fallin' from the trees.
We talked for a while, you smiled,
I went weak at the knees.
And oh when you took my hand
something inside me took command.
Before i knew it could be true,
Darlin' I fell in love with you!

(Verse 2)
I remember spending afternoons
just sitting in the park.
We'd talk for hours and watch
the daylight turn to dark.
In your arms i stayed
so comfortable and unafraid.
Just like a child with a friend
i never wanted it to end.

(Chorus)
You are beautiful to see.
You were a blessing sent to me.
And even though it had to end,
it's nice to know you're still a friend.
I wrote this song for you,
to let you know the truth:
You mean so much to me [because]
You are my Sweetest Memory.

(Verse 3)
I remember those blue eyes
and how they saw the best in me.
And with every touch i felt
that it was meant to be.
We laughed, we cried, we played,
we made the most of everyday.
But by the end, my friend,
you turned and walked away.

(Bridge)
But still i
Thank you for the tender moments,
the laughs, the talks, the trust,
Thank you for your time, your smile,
your eyes, your love,
the bitter-sweet
the sweetest memory

(Chorus)
You are beautiful to see.
You were a blessing sent to me.
And even though it had to end,
it's nice to know you're still a friend.
I wrote this song for you,
to let you know the truth:
You mean so much to me [because]
You are -

You are beautiful to see.
You were a blessing sent to me.
And even though it had to end,
it's nice to know you're still a friend.
This song goes out to you,
the one who made it true.
You mean the world to me -
You are my Sweetest Memory.

>>BUT<< The one thing that will NEVER CHANGE, is the MEMORIES ...

"Friends are one of the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, Treasure the memories" (Dave Brenner)

Well, for those of you who are regular "MySpacers" you would know i write a bit of poetry. I'm not gunna put all of the previous ones i've done on here. But i'll put my latest one on here.

"Goodbye."

i'm walking alone now

i walk Free;

no longer am i Surrounded by you

but now i have to find Me.

when you left

you still had my heart;

you left with a piece of me

and it hurt.

No More.

(as Memories never rest) i still remember:

we walked a while together;

it was beautiful,

a smile could say it all.

you were a Blessing to me

and i gave you my All

i gave you my heart.

you can Keep my heart

but i'm Leaving it behind

with you.

Now i walk a new path

as a child once more(afraid of the unknown)

i begin my journey

with a Happy heart;

i thank you for the Smile

i thank you for the joy,

the comfort

i thank you most for you

your love;

thank you.

Now all my thoughts are said

all my feelings are known

All that is left

(for you and me) is

Goodbye.

Wow. So i'd completely forgotten i even had a blog, hehe :P Well i'm back now. I'm gunna fix it up, add stuff, delete stuff and start anew! Better get to it...

1. You will recieve a body.

You may like it, you may hate it, but it's yours to keep to the end; so look after it.

2. You will learn lessons

You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called 'life'

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons

Life is a continual process of trial and error. The experiments that fail are as much a part of the process as the ones that work.

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned.

A lesson will be presented to you in a variety of forms until you have learnt it. When you have learnt it, you can go onto the next lesson.

5. Your learning curve is infinite.

There's no part of life that does not contain lessons. If you're alive, then there are lessons you still have to learn.

6. The greenest grass is under your feet.

When your 'there' becomes 'here' you will simply find another 'there' that will look better than your 'here'.

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you.

You cannot love something about another person unless it reflects something you love about yourself. Similarly, if you dislike something about another person it reflects something about who you are.

8. What you make of your life is up to you.

You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you.

The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all this.
