Touching someone's heart for a mere second.
Can touch their Souls' for a lifetime"
"LIFE ISNT MEASURED BY THE BREATHS YOU TAKE
BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY"
I ask my friend Hunter if I could use this,
I thought it was pretty and he was kind enough to let me,
Thank you so much for always sticking by me.
I want to thank LüçìdRåín for making this picture for me

A Place For Me
There is a special place in life,
that needs my humble skill,
A certain job I'm meant to do,
which no one else can fulfill.
The time will be demanding,
the pay is not too good,
and I wouldn't change it
for a moment, even if I could.
There is a special place in life.
A goal I must attain,
a dream that I must follow.
Because I won't be back again.
There is a mark that I must leave.
However small it seems to be.
A legacy of love for those
who follow after me.
There is a special place in life,
that only I may share.
A little path that bears my name,
awaiting me somewhere.
There is a hand that I must hold,
a word that I must say,
a smile that I must give,
for there are tears to blow away.
There is a special place in life
that I was meant to fill.
A sunny spot where flowers grow,
upon a windy hill.
There's always a tomorrow and the
best is yet to be, for somewhere
in this world, I know there
is a place for me.

Whether by strange coincidence
or divine guidance
in the course of our life
we cross paths with many people.
Some move towards us
other move away.
Some we choose to remember
others to forget.
But with a special few
we seem to have no choice
for each has made
an impact on the other
and their memory
will live on forever.
These people we call friends-
You to me are such a one.

The White Rose
A special flower to me
because they are rare and beautiful
Once you find this White Rose you will do anything within your power
to keep it alive
Have You Ever Needed Someone?!
Has there ever been a time in your life
when you just needed someone to talk to?
Someone to listen to your point of view?
Without telling you right or wrong
or making judgments on you?
Has there ever been a time in your life
when you just needed a hug?
From someone who cares
who will just give you one
because they care?
Has there ever been a time in your life
when you needed to lean on someone?
Someone who would just cuddle up
with you and hold you as
you both sat quietly?
Has there ever been a time in your life
when you just felt blue?
Not knowing exactly what was
wrong but not knowing
what to do?
I think many of us feel this way
at different times and that is when
we turn to good friends
and family to help us through.
I want you to know that I am here
to listen and not to judge.
To offer you a smile and
to hug you and hold you
when you are feeling blue.

Don´t ever
Don't ever be reluctant
to show your feelings
when you're happy, give in to it.
When you're not, live with it.
Don't ever be afraid to try to
make things better
you might be surprised at the results.
Don't ever take the weight of the world
on your shoulders.
Don't ever feel threatened by the future
take life one day at a time.
Don't ever feel guilty about the past
what's done is done. Learn from any
mistakes you might have made.
Don't ever feel that you are alone
there is always somebody there for
you to reach out to.
Don't ever forget that you can achieve
so many of the things you can imagine.
It's not as hard as it seems.
Don't ever stop loving
don't ever stop believing,
don't ever stop dreaming your dreams.

Turn on your courage
Even on the most difficult days there is hope.
The worst that could possibly happen
cannot even come close to the good that already is.
The whole world could crumble around you
and still there would be the very real presence
of joy and fulfillment in your life.
The best things you have, you cannot ever lose.
The most important things can never be taken
from you no matter what tragedy may befall you.
And therein lies the strength to attempt anything.
You truly cannot fail,
so you might as well succeed in the most
spectacular fashion.
Yes, you will stumble and there will be pain,
but it can never equal the joy of which you're capable.
Even though no one may catch you when you fall,
the minute you hit bottom there will be
endless ways to start climbing again.
Act strong because you are strong.
Go confidently forward knowing
that even the very worst days are still
full on wonder and exciting possibility.
You have a great life to be lived.
Turn on your courage and make it happen.

TREASURES IN YOU
There are treasures in life,
but owners are few
Of money and power
to buy things brand new.
Yet you can be wealthy
and feel regal too,
If you will just look
for the treasures in you.
These treasures in life
are not hard to find
When you look in your heart,
your soul, and your mind.
For when you are willing
to share what's within,
Your fervent search
for riches will end.
The joy and the laughter,
the smile that you bring;
The heart unafraid
to love and to sing;
The hand always willing
to help those in need;
Ones quick to reach out,
to labor and fee.
So thank you for sharing
these great gifts inside;
The caring, the cheering,
the hug when one cried.
Thanks for the energy,
encouragement too,
And thank you for sharing
the treasures in you.

Words of Wisdom
Standing for what you believe in,
Regardless of the odds against you,
and the pressure that tears at your
resistance, means courage
Keeping a smile on your face,
When inside you feel like dying,
For the sake of supporting others,
means strength
Stopping at nothing, And doing what's in
your heart, You know is right,
To make another's life a little more bearable,
Without uttering a single complaint,
means compassion
Helping a friend in need,
No matter the time or effort,
To the best of your ability, means loyalty
Giving more than you have, and
expecting nothing
But nothing in return, means selflessness
Holding your head high,
And being the best you know you can be
When life seems to fall apart at
your feet, Facing each difficulty with the
confidence That time will bring you
better tomorrows, And never giving up,
means confidence.

The Search
There must be a beautiful morning somewhere
A dawn lit by justice and judgment is fair
A place where a helping hand is held out
An ear that will listen stands
poised and devout
A place you can go when your heart
needs attention A place where a
spirit gets healing and mending
A place where love's fire burns bright
day and night And in from the cold
you may warm by its light
There must be a brilliant evening somewhere
Where the sun finally sets on pain and despair
Where the coming of night is not filled with grief
And comforting sleep brings you joyful relief
A place where the sunset is apt to reflect
A day without malice, without disrespect
A place where the only tears shed, are for joy
And a heart is not battered and bounced like a toy
There must be a wonderful day somewhere,
In a place filled with love and a
great need to care
A place where the burdens of conflict are lifted
Where love is a skill and all lovers are gifted
Where daily are spoken the words that support
And every mistake is not met with retort
A place where the land has not soaked up the blood
Where honor and truth are not cast in the mud
A place where the children are not left alone
Where Sisters and Brothers may come to atone
Where homeless and helpless don't cower in fright
Where the hearts and the minds
of the world can unite
So you set on a journey to seek out this land
With compass and map and a vision so grand
To find peace and comfort in a world that's so new
Where waters are crystal and skies are so blue
With showers that cleanse and winds that refresh
Where the spirit is fed and not just the flesh
But search as you may, what you'll find to be true
That it cannot be found, until it's found within you.

Beginning Today
Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.
Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there,
waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow
without first making the most of today.
Beginning today I will look in the mirror
and I will see a person worthy
of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me
is someone I enjoy spending time with
and someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world
and I will unselfishly share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.
Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten
path and to revel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage and determination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be
which hinder my quest for growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today I will take life one day at a time,
one step at a time.
z Discouragement will not be allowed to taint
my positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before, I believe there is hope
for a brighter and better future.
Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else:
perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.
Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness
and I will do things that make me happy . . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature,
listen to my favorite music,
pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath...
pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.
Beginning today I will learn something new;
I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
Beginning today. And every day.

The Sweetest Flower That Grows
The sweetest flower that grows
I give you as we part;
For you it is a rose
For me it is my heart.
The fragrance it exhales
(Ah, if you only knew!),
Which but in undying fails,
It is my love of you.
The sweetest flower that grows
I give you as we part;
You think it but a rose;
Ah, me! it is my heart
