| Comes The Dawn After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plan. And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong and you really do have worth. And you learn and learn and learn... With every goodbye you learn. |

| We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere |
| this is a collection of poems, quotes and pictures i've collected over the past several years |
| Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life�s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you, For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows might go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer�s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, So He loves also the bow that is stable. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |
| If I had the letters "HRT" and I could add "EA" and get "HEART" or add "U" and get "HURT", I'd rather have "U" and get "HURT" than have a "HEART" without "U"! |
| Dreams are like stars... you may never touch them but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny. |
| There are only 4 questions important in this universe� 1- What is sacred? 2- Of what is the spirit made? 3- What is worth living for? 4- What is worth dying for? ���� The answer to each is the same�only LOVE. |
| When the storms howl and the night closes in, there�s not a person who doesn�t want the comfort of warm arms and the soft, encouraging words of someone who knows them well. |
| Sometimes a whisper of love gets lost in an angry shout. Can you see I�ve got to live my life the way I feel is right for me?� Might not be right for you but it�s right for me� Life is a journey, not a destination.� Hanging all my hopes on the stars. The moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle.� The moment I jumped off it, was the moment I touched down...(Alanis Morsette) A single soul ��� Born in heaven ��� Splits in two ��� And shoots like falling stars to earth ��� And like the oceans on a continent ��� Their magnifique forces ��� Will finally unite them ��� Back into one ��� How else to explain love at first sight? ��� (from the movie DON JUAN DeMARCO) People should learn that they don�t have to change friends, if they understand that friends change. Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned. I believe you can't appreciate real love till you've been burned. I believe the grass is no greener on the other side. I believe you don't know what you've got until you say good-bye.~Savage Garden |
| Stars are given light by nature, but dreams are what makes them sparkle "Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter." "Sometimes there is no next time, no time-outs, no second chances, sometimes it's either now or never. " "I Believe in angels, The kind that heaven sends. I'm surrounded by angels but I call them my best friends." "I've learned that good-byes will always hurt, pictures never replace having been there, memories good or bad will bring tears, and words can never replace feeling." "Kiss me and you may see the stars, love me and I will give them to you." "A friend is a gift you give yourself." "My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me." "The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had." |
| Side by side, miles apart, dear friends are always close to the heart." "Sometimes you don't realize how much you care for someone, until they stop caring for you." "Love me for who I am. Understand me for who I am. cause that's all I'll ever be." - DMX "When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us." |
| Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. |
| In a world where you could be anything, be yourself. |
| Be anything you want, but always be you. |
| The heart has reasons that reason does not understand |
