That's what friends are for

- I'm afraid that I would cry...

- Nothing to be afraid of. Tears are not bad. A broken heart means you love someone so much, and that is better than never loving anyone.

That’s what friends are for

And I never thought I’d feel this way
And as far as I’m concerned
I’m glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure

That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more

That’s what friends are for

Well, you came in loving me
And now there’s so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we’re apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure

That’s what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure

That’s what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I’ll be on your side forever more
That’s what friends are for

Stronger

...
- Death is a part of life.
- I will pray for them.
- Maybe they are in peace now.
- There is samsara and death is not the end. We have lived and will live many lives, until we reach enlightenment. Because we were friends in previous lives, we meet again in this life.
- I believe that everyones are One.
- Oh, yes, everything is interconnected, the whole Earth, the whole Universe.

...

- Stay strong, Delphine. Do you remember, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", right. Accept that it's finished and move on. Remember what you've promised me.
- Yes, dear. Be stronger, and not to... "you know what".  

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard

Forever Young

Forever friends - by Mary Baxter St. Clair

My dear Nightingale, you are forever young, and we are forever friends...
Miss you.
Delphine

"Forever Young"

May God bless and keep you always 

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others 

And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars 

And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young 

May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous 

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth 

And see the lights surrounding you

May you always be courageous 

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young 

May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy 

May your feet always be swift

May you have a strong foundation 

When the winds of changes shift

May your heart always be joyful 

And may your song always be sung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young 

May you stay forever young. 

Moon river

Moon river, wider than a mile...
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going, i'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend... moon river, and me

Delphine: I was so happy to see you again. It was like a dream...
Nightingale: It was no dream, Delphine.



"My goal was not to have huge luxuries. As a child, I wanted a house with a garden, which I have today. This is what I dreamed of. I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and having the possibility to love… So it isn’t age or even death that one fears, as much as loneliness and the lack of affection."

– Audrey Hepburn 

Audrey's favorite poem - 'Time Tested Beauty Tips' by Sam Levenson 

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!" 

Return to Innocence

Tippi was born and raised almost completely in the wilderness of Namibia, where she had lived her first ten years in a fairy and wonderful world spreading from mountain to dry desert of Kalahari. Fearless Tippi grew up, running free with the wild animals there. Elephants, leopards, ostriches, lion cubs, giraffes…treated her as one of their own, letting her cuddle them, dance with them, and even ride on their backs. Tippi also befriended the Bushmen tribe, “who have known how to live in the wild for hundreds and hundreds of years and they don’t care about time, nor money.”

Tippi’s adventurous life in Namibia was published and translated in several languages. Her book, Tippi of Africa, with amazing photos taken by her parents (the French wildlife photographers), has become a bestselling novel. Tippi is now studying cinema in Paris. She also returned to Africa to make nature documentaries for the Discovery Channel.

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

Song of Enchantment

- Would time mend a broken heart?
- Time heals all wounds, baby. Think of all the places you want to go and all people you will meet on your way. Go and see as many places as you can. Isn’t that your dream to travel the world?
- Yes, darling. But I would miss you a lot…
- My songs are with you always, baby. Let the power of compassion be your protector. Let your act of kindness and your shining smile brighten up others’ lives wherever you go. Someday, love will fill your heart with happiness, I’m sure. Life is wonderful, Delphine.
- Oh, my dear Nightingale, thank you so much!
Then Nightingale sang to Delphine this sweet song…

"Smile, without a reason why
Love, as if you were a child
Smile, no matter what they tell you
Don’t listen to a word they say
‘Cause life is beautiful that way

Tears, a tidal-wave of tears
Light that slowly disappears
Wait, before you close the curtain
There’s still another game to play
And life is beautiful that way

Here, in his eyes forever more
I will always be as close as you remember from before.

Now, that you’re out there on your own
Remember, what is real and what we dream is love alone.

Keep the laughter in your eyes
Soon, your long awaited prize
Well forget about our sorrow
And think about a brighter day
‘Cause life is beautiful that way"
