Where is the love?

http://lyrics.astraweb.com/

people killin
people dyin
children hurt and
women cryin
will you practice what you preach
（自分が人にいうことは自分もやってよ！）
and would you turn the other cheek
father father father, help us
need some guidance from above
these people got me got me questionin
where is the love?
(love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(the love) where is the love?
(where is the love the love my love)

song by Black eyed peas

I knew this song when I was junior high school student.
"Where is the love?" This word is important in all of world now.
I think "Where is the love?"too. it's difficult to find the perfect answer.
But I think we can find several shapes of love in our life.

A Whole New World

Music by Alan Menken
Wards by Tim Rice


A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling(目もくらむほどの、まぶしい) place I never knew
But now from way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you


This song is Aladdin's song of disney.Why I choose this song,my sister used this song her wedding. She liked this song. So I impressed when this song was hearing.I hope she'll be happy as this song's lyric, with her husband and baby.
I want to experience Aladdin's world.

Wolstencroft The Bear

http://www.magickeys.com/books/wolstencroft/index.html

Then one frosty evening when the stars were sparkling in the night sky and snowflakes were dancing past the windows, a little boy and his daddy came into the store.

"Hey look at this," said the daddy when he noticed Wolstencroft's name tag. "This teddy bear has the same name as you! Only you're called Sten for short and he's called Woolly."

"What?" The boy called out in surprise. "I didn't think anyone else in the whole great big world was called Wolstencroft."

And just like Wolstencroft the bear, he was beginning to hate his name.

"Why don't you two get to know each other?" the daddy suggested as he lifted Wolstencroft down from the shelf

And the little boy wrapped his arms around his namesake, which means someone who has the same name as yourself, and stroked his soft fur. And they both loved each other from that moment on.

"I love him daddy, can I have him for Christmas?" he asked hopefully. And when his daddy said yes, danced around the store with Wolstencroft, almost colliding with other shoppers as he did so.

Wolstencroft really wasn't such a bad name after all they both decided as they whirled around the Christmas tree at the front of the store. In fact, it was starting to sound better all the time now that they had found each other in this wonderful way.

Wolstencroft the bear had never remembered feeling this happy before. Indeed, he felt so chock-full of joy that he thought he just might burst. He was going to a new home at last. And he knew that this little boy, who was called Sten, would be his very best friend forever.

Then Sten gave him a hug so big that his tummy was squished. But, of course, Wolstencroft didn't care. Because no hug is too big for a teddy bear.

単語
frosty：霜の降りる
shelf：棚
whirl： ぐるぐる回る、めまいがする
chock-full： ～でぎっしり詰まった
burst：爆発する、はち切れる
tummy：おなか

I think Wolstencroft was lucky boy.At the first time,He was very very sad,because of his name.But finally,he could met same name boy.So he was lucky boy!!
I was glad to sell Wolstencroft too!!

Women Must Learn

http://www.cycnet.com/englishcorner/poem/women01.htm


It is very difficult for a woman to have a successful career and happy children and an exciting personal life
When attending to work most women feel guilty because they are not with their children
When attending to their children most women feel guilty because they have work to do
And if there is time for personal things most women feel guilty because they are neither attending to the needs of their children nor their workIn order for a woman to successfully do all the things she wants to she must delegate the things she does not want to do
Otherwise all the demands on the woman leave her too tired and frustrated to enjoy life
And that just isn´t fair

-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

guilty:責任がある、罪の意識がある
delegate:代理人、代表として派遣する、委任する
otherwise:さもなければ


I think woman's life is difficult...But I want to live positive!!!My 2008'goal is positive life!!!

Why God Gave Us Friends

http://www.cycnet.com/englishcorner/poem/034.htm

GOD Knew That Everyone Needs
Companionship And Cheer,
He Knew That People Need Someone
Whose Thoughts Are Always Near.

He Knew They Need Someone Kind
To Lend A Helping Hand.
Someone To Gladly Take The Time
To Care And Understand.

GOD Knew That We All Need Someone
To Share Each Happy Day,
To Be A Source Of Courage
When Troubles Come Our Way.

Someone To Be True To Us,
Whether Near Or Far Apart.
Someone Whose Love We'll Always
Hold And Treasure In Our Hearts.

That's Why God Gave Us Friends

~ Author Unknown ~


I love friends!!I always think "friends is treasure".I respect their and I always want to lough with their.So I give thanks God whose gave us friends!!
