Before I became strong, I knew what it was like To be weak, How difficult it is to love yourself, To find the wholeness that you seek. Before I knew the light, I have had my fair share of darkness, too, Where my world fell into a hopelessness And I didn't know how to get through. For I have known the tears it takes, The courage to stand up again, When you are broken down and bruised And you know nothing but the pain. You forget to appreciate love, If you haven't seen the hate, Till you forget the meaning of smile and laughter, And your heart is left abate. I have known the strength and courage It requires to get it right, To face the things that hold you down And hold your head up and fight. Before I was who I am now, I was someone I didn't want to be. I was lost, battered, and defeated, Before I knew how to be me!

To some people February 14th is just another day. For me this is a day to take time and say... I love you. Stop, and think what we've been through and how much are love as grew. Yes, we fight, And I've lied, But never forget for you I would die. Everyday I see your beautiful, smiling face, And there are moments that I stare and you take my breath away, and leave me with nothing to say, On this special day, I ask myself how it is possible to love a person so much. My heart has been permanently touched. All the tears and pain seem to go away. The pieces of my heart that were chiseled away, you make them ok. Once there was a deep dark hole nobody could touch, Until you came and filled it with all your love. On this special day I want you to know, I love you, More than I could write down, tell, explain or even try to show, In this life or the next. I've done things I regret, And they hurt you inside and made you c...
As we watch the sun go down, I want to let you know; my love for you is forever, I'll never let you go. You're the one I've been searching for, the one I've finally found; without you in my life, my world wouldn't go round. The love you bring into my heart, which is so true and kind; is something in no other, I could truly find. You're the only one for me, God tells me so, deep within my heart, mind body and soul. Today isn't just an ordinary Valentines Day, it's all about me and you; about the love we share, and how it will forever continue to grow. It's not all about the chocolates, or the dozen roses; it's about the love we found, how much we've been blessed. Everything happens for a reason, I believe this statement is true, that's why you were sent to me, and I was sent to you. I've never been more happy, as I've been with you; even through the rough times, we always ...
In the glad springtime when leaves were green, O merrily the throstle sings! I sought, amid the tangled sheen, Love whom mine eyes had never seen, O the glad dove has golden wings! Between the blossoms red and white, O merrily the throstle sings! My love first came into my sight, O perfect vision of delight, O the glad dove has golden wings! The yellow apples glowed like fire, O merrily the throstle sings! O Love too great for lip or lyre, Blown rose of love and of desire, O the glad dove has golden wings! But now with snow the tree is grey, Ah, sadly now the throstle sings! My love is dead: ah! well-a-day, See at her silent feet I lay A dove with broken wings! Ah, Love! ah, Love! that thou wert slain - Fond Dove, fond Dove return again!
I am in need of music that would flow Over my fretful, feeling fingertips, Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips, With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow. Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low, Of some song sung to rest the tired dead, A song to fall like water on my head, And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow! There is a magic made by melody: A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep To the subaqueous stillness of the sea, And floats forever in a moon-green pool, Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.
I could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on in the world between the covers of books, such sandstorms and ice blasts of words, such staggering peace, such enormous laughter, such and so many blinding bright lights, splashing all over the pages in a million bits and pieces all of which were words, words, words, and each of which were alive forever in its own delight and glory and oddity and light.
The Years have passed by, In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness, And joy have flown by. People I loved, Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped, And we all carried on. Life wasn't easy, And the struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn't care. I stood on my own, And I still found my way, Through some nights filled with tears, And the dawn of new days. And now with old age, It's become very clear, Things I once found important, Were not why I was here. And how many things, That I managed to buy, Were never what made me, Feel better inside. And the worries and fears, That plagued me each day, In the end of it all, Would just fade away. But how much I reached out, To others when needed, Would be the true measure, Of how I succeeded. And how much I shared, Of my soul and my heart, Would ultimately be, What set me apart. And what's really important, Is my opinion of me, And whether or not, I'm the best I can be. And how...
Sometimes I feel like everything in the world could be going wrong all at once. I feel so overwhelmed and frustrated. I think that nothing will ever go right and that I should just give up, but I believe that if I stay strong in all that I do, I can overcome anything. Anything is possible if you believe. A few days ago I was struggling with a lot of things in my life. My school work was piled up with essays and projects and I had multiple exams to take. I needed to pack for the weekend because I was leaving to go visit my family. On top of all that, I had four of my good friends, back at home in California, pass away. It was really hard for me to understand why all this was occurring to me all at once. I felt like I had done something wrong and because of that my whole life was going insane. I wanted to give up on everything right then and there. For a while, I didn’t care much for schoolwork or for my exams. Even knowing that if I failed ...
