“The only thing that makes life possible is a permanent, intolerable uncertainty:

not knowing what comes next”

Hold your head high.

Don't ever let 'em define

The light in your eyes.

Love yourself, give them Hell.

You can take on this world.

You just stand and be strong

And then fight Like a girl.

Oh, with style and grace

Kick ass and take names

For Mom........

I miss you Mom J

I hope you and Papa are taking care of each other

I feel you with me

I know you watched over me on Monday

Thank you for being there

♥

Oh, Emily

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all.

Have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you theres no one else above you

Fill my heart with gladness

Take away all my sadness

Ease my troubles thats what you do

For the morning sun in all its glory

Greets the day with hope and comfort too

You fill my life with laughter

And somehow you make it better

Ease my troubles thats what you do

Theres a love thats divine

And its yours and its mine like the sun

And at the end of the day

We should give thanks and pray

To the one, to the one

on silent haunches and then moves on.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover."

To Flower from Within......

"The bud

stands for all things,

even those things that don't flower,

for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;

though sometimes it is necessary

to reteach a thing its loveliness,

to put a hand on its brow

of the flower

and retell it in words and in touch

it is lovely

until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing;"

Galway Kinnell
