When we walk to the end of all the light we have,
And take a step into the darkness of the unknown
We must believe one of two things will happen:
That we will land on something solid,
or we will learn to fly.

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
time is eternity.
~Henry VanDyke

I’ll toss my coins in the fountain
Look for clovers in grassy lawns
Search for shooting stars in the night
Cross my fingers and dream on
~Tracy Chapman

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest
critics and endure betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find
the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy
child, a garden patch. . .to know even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I ran up the door,
And shut the stairs
I said my pajamas
And put on my prayers
I turned off the bed
And jumped into light
All because you kissed me goodnight
~~~
To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
~William Blake

Do you love me or do you not?
You told me once but I forgot.
So tell me now and tell me true
so I can tell you I love you.
If I die before you do,
I'll go to heaven to be with you.
If you're not there by Judgment Day,
I'll know you went the other way.
I'll give the angels back their wings
and risk the loss of everything.
Just to show my love is true,
I'd go to hell to be with you!
~~~
When I met you,
I was scared to hug you,
When I hugged you,
I was scared to kiss you,
When I kissed you,
I was scared to love you,
Now that I love you,
I'm scared to lose you.
~~~
Flatter me and I might not believe you
Criticize me and I might not like you
Ignore me and I might not forgive you
Encourage me and I might not forget you
~~~
I don’t want a friend
Who smiles when I smile
Who weeps when I weep
For my shadow in the pool
Can do better than that
