Welcome to “The Little Town with a Big Heart”
Friendship: Have you ever met a person that fulfilled you deep inside... Someone who’s never failed you and stands, no matter what, always by your side. Someone who gives from their heart Who brings sunshine all around... Always smiling and laughing, never seeming down. Have you ever watched a sunset across the ocean shore... And been filled with love and peace, never needing more?
Have you ever listened to the wind blowing restlessly through the night... And heard the angel’s whispers helping you to see when you’ve lost sight? Have you heard a song that moves you and sets your soul free... Makes you forget your pain and anger or makes you feel wild and happy? Have you ever given to someone when you didn’t have it to spare... And afterwards felt so worthy inside, that you didn’t have a care?
You see my friend, heavenly creatures surround you, so listen closely to what they say... They’ll bring you all of life’s riches, As they guide you along your way.
