Do not weep
for your
imperfections.
Like love
they make you
human.
They are
the facets
that allow
you to shine.
Keep them
polished.
Send your light
into the world;
it already has
enough darkness.
Consider yourself
creatively
maladjusted,
not broken.
Become an eagle
or a flamingo.
Soar into
the night sky
seeking love
and knowledge.
Who knows
where you may
land.

If ever there is no light in the shadows of your world,
I will be the candle that guides you back to your path.

"We are not put on this earth to become failures, and you'll never be poor as long as you have a friend."

At three months you cry and spittle
Your Aunt rocks you in her arms
I take a break and remember
You are so sweet and oh so little

At three years you run and giggle
Your dad plays knights and castles
I make the red jello blocks  jiggle
You are so sweet and still so little

At thirteen you are about to fly
Your parents remind you often
make good choices please don't die
My hardened heart is softened

When thirty years approach
I still speak about that joy
of watching how you've grown
into my beautiful boy

You brought light with you as you walked,
And illuminated the dark,
Which reflected off of my face,
As you kindled up a spark.
You create an emotion deep inside,
I could never previously force.
So, in this strange little paradise,
Darling, I'm yours.

You wrap me with your arms,
And tower me till I'm small.
You comfort me with your words,
And praise me till I grow tall.
You're an indescribable beauty,
Who causes sensations through my spine.
In this strange little paradise,
Darling, you're mine.

My hand fits perfectly into yours.
My heart opened it's doors to you,
When I searched into your eyes,
And found myself swimming in their blue.
My reflection said all they can,
And showed me the long lost light.
Now you stay close at my beside,
To whisper me goodnight.
You settled my shivers from the Winter's cold,
And held me in the Spring's early sun.
So, in this strange little paradise,
Darling, we are one.

After all this time
There are no worries
It is as it has always been
We are one
And forever does exist

Teach a child to beg--
And he will grow with self-pity.
Surviving...
For his self only.

Teach a child to live with dreams--
And he will spring up like a tree.
Nurtured by the world's challenges...
Growing,
For himself.
Living,
For others.

she says she's unlovable
but i know it's not true
because when she says she loves me
i can't help but to say i love her too
