The Best Is Yet To Be

For better or worse, through thick and thin,
I'll be there by your side
sharing the laughter and the tears
through life's uncertain ride.

We don't know what the future has
in store for you and me
but this I know, without a doubt,
the best is yet to be.

President Thomas Whitmore in Independence Day

"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

Ode to Valhalla - 13th Warrior

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother.
And my sister and my brother
Lo, there do I see the line of my people
Back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live forever.

Such Roles You Play! - JLA

A Greek hero could have done no better.
You stand, moody, petulant,
Behind the scenes and yet unknown to you, in view of all.
The hands are in the pockets as you stare with unseeing eyes.
And then! The sunshine breaks.
I see you, dashing, charming.
Superficial perhaps, but with a certain naivety.
You do not know what to say but you say it nonetheless.
This I have seen in your eyes.
I have seen your very essence
And it has warmed me.
There is something awkward
Behind perfection lies a man who knows who he is
And shows it in so many different ways.

Little Things You Do For Me - Vodafone Delights

The little things you do for me,
And nobody else...
Make me feel good.
Little things you do for me,
Making me smile
When no-one else could!
That's why,
I like to sit -
Next to you!
And hear your mad stories,
I know they are not true!
I like that we share,
A secret or two...
together.
The little things you do for me...

Cancer Is So Limited

It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot invade the soul.
It cannot steal eternal life.
It cannot conquer the spirit.
Cancer is so limited!

Comus - Milton

Celestial Cupid, her famed son, advanced,
Holds his dear Psyche sweet entranced,
After her wandering labors long,
Till free consent the gods among
Make her his eternal bride;
And from her fair unspotted side
Two blissful twins are to be born,
Youth and Joy; so Jove hath sworn.
