Do   not   love   easily,
but   well.   Let   your  
love   be   warm  and
generous,   and     do  
not  let anyone  judge
you beyond what you
actually do, thus   you
will not be  judged  by
anyone   harsher  than
yourself.

The   sun    comes   out
everyday and the moon
will  follow  its   course,
    so   do   not   try  to
understand   for    only
time   itself will decide.

The   stars   will   shine
when the clouds do not
hide   them   and  your
joy  will   come   when it
is time.
                                                                             Jon York   2019

Be you.
   The world will
           adjust.

The  pain  you  feel
  today, will be the
   strength you feel
       tomorrow.

        The  distance
   between    dreams
      and reality is
      called   action.

       What consumes
             your mind
              controls
              your  life.

            When life
           gets  blurred,
                adjust
           your   focus.

             Be  thankful
      for  what  you  are  now,
                 and keep
           fighting  for  what

               you want to
              be   tomorrow. 
No matter what happens, no matter how far you seem to be away
from what you want, never stop believing that you'll somehow make it. Have an unrelenting belief that things will work out.                                                                  ­                            Jon York   2019

Allow   yourself
a   day  without
worry.   A   day
  with   simple
   trust  in   the
universe and an
inner   knowing
  of  the   truth
  that   it's   all
going to be okay.

    Become   so
  confident    in    
who    you    are,
  that   no   one's
        opinion,
      rejection,   or
   behavior  can
  rock   your  world.

     Carry   a   heart  
  that   never    hates.
Carry a  smile  that
     never   fades.
   Carry  a   touch
that   never   hurts.

No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart.
So carry a good heart.
                                                          ­                             Jon York   2019

You're   in  the  sun,
the wind,  the  rain,
you're  in  the  air  I
breathe  and   in
every  breath I  take.

You  sing  a   song   of
hope  and  cheer, of a
place  where    there's
no   more   pain    and
no  more  fear.

I   see your eyes  in  the
blue clouds above  and
hear your whispers   of
sweet  words  of    love.

We    will    be   together
before    long,  and until
then  I'll listen  for  your
song that only I can hear.

Just   like  the  rivers   are
pulled to the sea, forever
with  you  I am destined
                   to be.
                                                                                           Jon York    2019

Think about it,
          your best
    dreams  and  your
    worst  nightmares
      have the same
    people  in  them.
        So  love  all,
          trust few.
     Everything's real
             but not
      everyone's true.
  So  be  loyal  to  your
          future, not to
  your  past and  do  not
         depend on
anyone too much in this
              world,
       for  even  your
              shadow
      leaves  you when
           you enter  
            darkness.

Open your mind before you open your lips and before you try to tell someone that they are living the wrong kind of life. Being different is the only thing keeping the world beautiful.
                                                                              Jon York   2019

I have to
        love
     whatever
       is left
     of myself
    and find it
        in me
       to start
       all over
         again
          and
       it hurts
      the  way
       it hurts
       because
       I don't
       know a
        softer
        way to
         bleed.
                                                                                              Jon York   2019

You will
             never have to force
           anything   that's   truly
                  meant for you.
                       Be with
              someone who treats
                     you  like  a
                   DESTINATION,
                     NOT A STOP
               ALONG THE WAY.
                      And realize
                 that sometimes life
                       doesn't give
                              you
                     what you want,
                       not because
                 you don't deserve it,
                       but because
   YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE
                  and know that it
                 might  take  a  day,
                it  might  take  a  year,
                          but what's
                    meant to be will
                            always
                        find its way.
                                                                                       Jon York   2019

In my history
                 of  education,  the
                         greatest
          teachers I ever experienced
                      were those
                    who  showed
                me  where  to  look,
                       but didn't
                 tell me what to see
                       and what
                  I saw  was people
               who  I  thought  were
           created to be loved and things
                   that I was taught to
              believe,  were created to
                            be used
               had it completely turned
           around, which may be the
                  reason the world
                  is  in  chaos  today,
                   ­          Things
                       are being loved
                        and people
                                are
                           being used.
                                                           ­                                 Jon York   2019

Only you
           could  do  it.
                 Only
        you could steal
                words
             from  my
              tongue,
       heartbeats from
            my chest,
   my colorful landscapes
               from
             my eyes.
       Only you could
               touch
          hidden places,
                  fill
       the empty spaces,
                 and
             only you
               could
             whisper
        love rhapsodies
                into
            my soul.
          Only  you.

If you have chemistry,
           you only need one other thing.

                                 TIMING

                        But timing's a *****.

                                                         ­                                Jon York   2019

My eyes
            could fill her
                  with
             desire, my
                   lips
              could set
      fire to her passion,
                and my
           tongue could
                  make
              her  forget
                    her
               own name.
                                                                                               Jon York

I
    love  that
      sound
   you  make
      when  
   my mouth
       finds
  all the places
     on your
       neck
  that properly
         fits
    the shape
          of
      my lips.
                                                           ­                                  Jon York   2019

BE

       loyal to your FUTURE
          not your PAST,
                  and
            remember
        planning­ is silly.
                 either
                  ACT
                    or
             ­  FORGET.
   DANCE  before  the  music
       is  over, LIVE  before
                your  life
                     is
                    over.
             Always HOPE
                    but
             never EXPECT.

                  
                                     ­                                              Jon York    2019

I'll be  the one you thought  
you'd never find.  I'll be  the
one  that steps  up  in   every  
place  the last   man stepped  
aside.  I'll  be   the   rock that
never   crumbles.  I'll  be the
ear that can never hear enough.

  I'll   be your  teacher, your
best   friend,  your   # 1 fan.  
    I'll be the one that climbs  
your walls  so  I  can guard  
your   heart.
   Most  of   all  , I'll   be   the    
one     that    changes    your  
perspective  on   every  man
you ever met.
   And   don't   confuse    my  
personality with my attitude....
My     personality   is     who  
I   am, my  attitude depends  
       on   who you are....
                                                         ­             Jon York   2019

Life is about change.
Sometimes it's painful.
Sometimes it's beautiful.
But most of the time it's both.
Sometimes you keep a lot
to yourself because it's
difficult to find people who
            understand.

But never regret being a good
person, to the  wrong people
because your behavior says
everything about you, and
their behavior says enough
            about them.

Love doesn't keep score.It
wipes the record clean each day.
It says good  morning to today
and goodbye  to yesterday.

Some people want material things,
me, I just want peace, happy times
            &  people to love.

The mind will not always remember
exactly what happened, but the
heart will always remember the
                  feeling.
                                  ­                                                     Jon York   2019

Think
         only the best,
                work
            for only the
                  best,
           and expect
              only the
                   best.

                 Forget
            the mistakes
                  of  the
                   past
              and press
               on to the
                  greater
             achievements
                   of the
                   future.

Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

I'm so old that

"getting lucky"

      means

                                     I found my car

                                     in the parking lot.


I.m so old that

my  back  goes

out more than

I do.
                                                             ­                                 Jon York   2019

I can
explain
it to you,               but            
                                              I can't
                                              understand
                                              it for
                                               you.
                                                                                                Jon York   2019

There's  a
difference
between
someone
who wants you,              and
                                           someone
                                           who would
                                           do anything
                                           to  keep  you.  
                                                                       REMEMBER THAT.

When   two
people really
care   about
one  another,
they  always
   and I say
always, find
   a way to
make it work.
