Quote of the week

We need not only a purpose in life to give meaning to our existence but also something to give meaning to our suffering. We need as much something to suffer for as something to life for.

Poem #1 of the week

"Friendships"

I've been trough a lot

I seem to be alone

No one seems to understand

Why I'm so alone

Loneliness is an awful word

It shouldn't have to exist

Why do I feel so glum?

When I should feel so glad

There is nothing that I won't do

To have a friend like you

Friendship means a lot to me

It keeps you from losing

Friends grow to bond from the moment that they met whether by face or screen

It doesn't matter

Life is short and precious

I should take it to the fullest

Friends are part of that

Friendship shouldn't be taken for granted

Because you can end up alone again.

Friendship sticks with you to the very end

They're are people who love you

They will be with you

They care for you

They are family

Friends may never part

For friendship is the strongest link

That holds us together

It's a domino affect

Make one make other

Friendship means that I will never be alone again.

Poem #2 of the week

"Terre's Song"

Where did we go wrong Terre, my hearth, my home?

When did we become prideful, spiteful, hateful . . .

Ignoring man as friend?

When did we lose the will to fight

To only go down in the night

Like a shadow

We reached out for the stars, bridged the gap 'tween world;

Changed the way we laughed, played, cried

And lived.

We forgot the fight, ignored the fears

And now my tears

Are stars.

What do I do now Terre, my hearth, my home?

Should I stay here, standing, waiting, watching

Looking for my time?

NO! I will stand the darkness and fight

I will not go down in the night

Like a shade.
