Goodnight my dear
I’m glad I have you near
For the many things you’ve brought me
There’s nothing I shall fear
 
Goodnight my dear
Let my songs wipe your tears
We’ve certainly got each other
And we always shall through the years
 
Goodnight my dear
Let my prayer bring you cheer
The moon is bright and the stars are shining
And they bless us always here [...]

I will smile again
Though tears flow from these eyes
I will smile again
And trust tomorrow the sun shall rise
Though darkness may enfold me
Though heavy rain can’t help but pour
Though shattered, lost and broken
Though heart could barely bear it all
Though tired and weary and confused
Though badly hurt and bruised
I know that I will smile again
And I will [...]

 Pain and pleasure, both seems to tempt us
distracting us from our true and lasting joys.
Pleasure alone, brought by the senses
cannot make us truly happy,
they accompany us for a while,
but are soon forgotten
and we weep not for loss of their memory.
Pain on the other hand inflicts our soul
and we cry out for justice,
shouting upon us
what doubts [...]

Where the Sidewalk Ends (by Shel Silverstein)
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street [...]

Imagine a world
where you can’t bring anything
you ever owned
not one valued possession
not a single penny you can toss
Imagine a world
where titles and status mean nothing
where authority belongs not to you
Imagine a world
where no man stands taller than another
and where beauty comes not only from you
Imagine a world where you can’t hide anything
nor busy yourself with [...]

What is the meaning of our life
if we are but a mist that quickly goes away
like a rose that blooms but for a day
What does it matter then that we have
ever passed this way?
Whatever happens
to the smiles we have smiled
to the tears we have cried
Whatever happens
to dreams we dreamt and reached
to failures that turned out [...]

At times the wisest of answers
lies in these simple words:
i do not know
I do not know what happens after death
of whether the soul remains awake
of whether soul and body awaits
to be awakened in the last day
I do not know what judgment looms before us
or what mercies await us in our Father’s
loving arms
I only believe in [...]

I would like to share with you the most touching poem I have ever received.  No, it did not come from my boyfriend.  And No, it was not even an original composition.  Yet the way it was able to come to me was no ordinary thing in my life, certainly nothing I’ve ever expected to [...]

This is the secret of flying:
When there is tremendous pressure all about you that you can do nothing but to rise above it all less be crushed underneath!

I hid my uniqueness when I hid my scars,
for the world only knew of smiles
that know no tears.
