Not everything we need, in books can reside,
Nor whispered by scholars, with knowledge as a guide.
The greatest truths often, in silence unfold,
In open hearts, and stories untold.

Kindness, a language, all creatures can speak,
Compassion's soft touch, on a tear-stained cheek.
The laughter of children, a symphony bright,
Chasing away shadows, with pure, joyful light.

Curiosity's spark, a fire to ignite,
Guiding us onward, through darkness and night.
For everything we need, to truly belong,
Lives deep in the spirit, where we all sing our song.
In life, everything that we need to know

If our dreams quiver out in the cold,
Nipped by the frost, their stories untold,
Let's gather the embers, a spark we can hold,
And fan them to life, 'gainst the winter's bold.

Weave threads of resilience, a shelter from frost,
Belief's warming blanket, at any cost.
Nurture the flame, though fragile and small,
For even a flicker can conquer it all.

Dreams, like tiny wildflowers, push through the snow,
They rise with the sun, where resilience can grow.
Though winter may linger, its grip will unwind,
Our dreams, reawakened, a new spring we'll find.

hope
is
the
spirit alive
that
dwells
inside the hearts of ships
and
the
souls of men
who
glide across
the
dark wine sea
then
we must
keep hope alive

Yes, she is my beacon of light,
A radiant sun, chasing back the endless night.
Her laughter, a melody, joyous and clear,
Banishes shadows, and casts out all fear.

Her eyes, like twin stars, in the vastness they gleam,
Guiding my course, a celestial dream.
Her touch, a warm fire, that sets my soul free,
Inspiring the best, the truest part of me.

With her by my side, I can conquer the climb,
Her spirit, a compass, marking the right time.
Yes, she is my beacon, my guiding star bright,
Forever my sunshine, forever my light.
Unfold the endless nights

the
ocean waves
then
they
weave across
the

Take my hand and hold it tight,
Through sunshine's warmth and moonlit night.
A silent language, skin-to-skin,
A bond unspoken, let us begin.

Worries may whisper, doubts may arise,
But with you beside me, fear slowly dies.
Strength in your touch, a steady hold,
Together we'll face, what stories unfold.

For in your hand, a promise I see,
A journey of two meant eternally.
So take my hand, and hold it near,
A love everlasting conquers all fear.
Hold on...hold on...hold on
That is all that I ask...then life goes on

When death washes over us, a tide so serene,
No longer will burdens or worries convene.
The laughter, the tears, all memories blend,
A tapestry woven, that finds its end.

The body, a vessel, released from its hold,
Like leaves on the wind, a story untold.
But the essence, the spirit, a luminous spark,
Returns to the starlight, a radiant ark.

No longer confined, by this world's earthly ties,
Ascending to realms, where forever resides.
Not an end, but a shift, a celestial dance,
When death washes over, a glorious trance.
