Thoughts
Book #6 We should
remember that not all of the young do stupid things, and that the ones that do,
have a lot of company in many of the older. Have you
ever had that feeling down deep inside, that there are things that are not over? A chance
is something that is worthless unless it is taken. Losing is
never good, but it is better than never having a chance to win. Some times
there just are not words to convey what you really want to say and that is why
it is not always possible to make others understand what you really mean. Who is the
wiser, one who knows what he fears, or one who fears what he knows. When you
set out to buy time, you soon find that the price is high, very high. The
questions keep coming, even when the answers do not. At times
the mind is clouded with thoughts of things long in the past. The
trouble with bucket seats is that everyone has a different size bucket. One who
takes a part of your heart with them when they leave your life is not a thief,
if you gave it to them willingly. Love can
drive you to many things; it can also leave you stranded in the middle of
nowhere. There are
those who defy age right up to the end. I try to
set aside a little time each day for Me, Myself, and I to all get together,
just so we can all get our story straight. Those who
stand alone, always stand taller than others. I do not
know it all, but what I do know I am sure of, for I learned it the hard way. Some
things we learn quickly, like when to let go of some thing so hot that it burns
our hands, and some things we learn slowly, like when to keep our mouths shut,
and when to speak up. Cry not
for me, for I have done enough crying for the both of us. To the
children of tomorrow I say: I had faith in you even before you were born,
because I had faith in your parents. Young
wolves hunt in packs, for the feel strength in numbers, old wolves hunt alone,
for they feel safety in what age has taught them, and confidence in their
ability to be successful on their own. An old
warrior fears not the battle, only the day when there will be no battles left
to fight. It is not
the battle that a warrior loves, but the chance to once more cheat death. Some ideas
spend little time inside my head, for if they are of hate, and anger I have
know room for them. We all
need a little quiet time alone now, and then, so we can just listen to the
sounds of our own thoughts. I saw a
dream come true once, it was a beautiful sight, and I hope to live long enough
to see it happen again. Strange it
is indeed the things you find when you are not looking for them. My faith
in the young of today is reinforced by the fact that I meet more fine young
people everyday. You should
have no fear of me, for I care more about you, than you care about yourself. There
seems to be no reason at all behind the fact that some people are lucky, and
some are not. That there
is more water than land is proof of just how many tears have been shed. When they
start telling you about the seniors' discounts everywhere you go, you may be
getting old. Why is it
that there are those who will believe the biggest lie, but not the smallest
truth? If it were
up to me, you would be happy. It may be
late in the game, but at least the game is not over yet. Some
people run, before they know if they need to. Love comes
when you least expect it, and leaves always to soon. Time moves
in silence, and slips away before you know it. Just
because the idea was not yours, doesn’t make it a bad one. I hope I
can leave something behind that will let the as yet unborn of the future know
that I thought of them often while I was alive. Another
light in my life grows dim, and will soon be gone forever. Those who
fear too much are doomed to failure, and those who fear nothing are headed for
disaster. I will
listen to what is on your mind, if you will listen to what is in my heart. The only
things frozen in time are the dead. If you
think no one cars, you are wrong, I care. The right
words are there, they just have not been spoken yet. If you
follow me, you will pass through the valley of sorrow many times. If only
one could write death out of the script of life. When you
make yourself a target, you must know that you will be shot at often. It was
easier when I did not care as much, but it was not better. Many seek
the truth, few will ever find it, and of those that do find it fewer yet will
ever understand it fully. The truth
never hurts anyone, as long as they do not find it out. In the
pursuit of my dreams there is no bridge to far. Death
awaits us all, some sooner than others. In the
shadow of death, new life waits to be born. It is easy
to say you care, but much harder to prove it. That death
waits for all of us is a fact; that we all fear death is not. The wind
whispers things to me, things it does not tell everyone. I try not
to cause others pain, for we have all had more than enough of that. The right
time is always now when it comes to saying what is in your heart. Just how
far is to far, and do you really want to know? Nothing
good ever grows from a bad seed. A smile is
all I ask for what I do, if you find a better deal, take it. Love is
meant to be shared; it is worthless if it is not. If a dream
is to survive in the light of day, the dreamer must learn to live the dream. We
sometimes find that when it is over the fear of it was worse than the thing
itself. The
journey of life takes us from point B to point D. There are
times when my train of thought stops short of the station. Love knows
not rhyme, reason, nor rule, it knows only that it is. For love,
some would kill, while others would be willing to die for love. I often
wonder how many of those I see on life’s highway are headed somewhere, and how
many others are running away from some place. A real
friend will tell you when you are making an ass of yourself, and if you are
their real friend you will thank them. The only
real way home is through deaths door. The rules
of love have never changed, for there were never were any rule to love. A boy
becomes a man only when his heart is broken for the first time. A man
becomes an old man when his heart is broken for the last time. If
heartbreaks were fatal, few would live beyond their teens. When two
of a kind meet, there is no telling what might happen. If life
were easy, what would be the point of it? It is not
my fault you don’t like me ... I have tried my best. We come
into life with nothing, how can we leave with any less? Even when
there is only one way of doing something wrong, there always seems to be
someone who will try that way first. Just
because a line has been crossed once, it does not mean that it is no longer
there. In life
you will find doors that open outward, and you will find some that open inward.
