Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...                     
It is therefore able to undertake all things,                                                        
and it completes many things,                                                                
and warrants them to take effect,                                                                            
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...

                                       A bell is not a bell
                                                 until someone rings it,
                                                           a song is not a song
                                                                       until someone sings it.

                                                                Love wasn't put
                                                           in the heart to stay,
                                                for love isn't love
'                                    til you give it away.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
       - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
       - Johann Wolfgang Goethe, from "Faust"

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. - Leo Buscaglia                         

                        Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.
                                   - Anonymous

      The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees  the opportunity in every difficulty.
       - Winston Churchill

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
       - Ralph Waldo Emerson

              A cage can contain the bird, but it can  never              contain her song.  ~Me!

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
       - Carl Jung

A rainbow happens when the sun smiles through its tears. ~Me

 

 

Fly Free

I held you tight hoping you wouldn't go

With both hands just to be sure

I wrapped my heart round you

Thought that could keep you down..ha

I know now it was so wrong

But you looked so good in my hands!

Then one day, a strong wind came and swept you away

Like the balloon of a little child floats up into the clouds

And like a child who cries and reaches for the sky like he can get it back,

I cried and reached for you.

But now, looking up, I see you look even better in that blue sky

Than you did in my hands.

You're happy now that you're free

No longer trapped,

All wrapped up in my heart

I finally let go

So fly free

Don't look back.

oh goodness

A Breaking Heart Breaks Quietly

A breaking heart breaks quietly.

You can't hear it

You can't feel it.

But if you listen real real close, you'll hear it stop beating for a moment.

You might feel it tremble and pause for a moment.

A breaking heart breaks quietly

But you can see the signs:

The tear-stained face of a young girl,

The downcast eyes of a somber child.

The man who buries himself in his work, not stopping to look up.

A broken heart sheds tears instead of blood.

A broken heart breaks quietly

The surface is decorated with ripples,

But underneath, the current kills.

You can dazzle the world with your smile til you nearly convince yourself.

But when you're tucked away and the lights are out,

You'll sob hard just the same.

A broken heart breaks quietly,

You can't always know who it is.

The child whose parents fight each night;

The boy whose father beats him.

The girls who feels a Failuer; unloved, unwanted, Failure.

The man who feels disrespected, unappreciated, forgotten.

The woman who's lost her husbands care and lives to gain it back.

A broken heart breaks quietly

And you don't always know just why.

So don't judge the actions of others

There's always a story you don't know.

Don't judge by what you see,

Because there just may be a dying heart bleeding away inside.

All you can do is love, and pray that heart will beat once more.

Because your love is salve to the wounds of a quietly breaking heart.

Rebekah Kenyon

P.S. Go look at my audioblog and listen to the song on there...it's the only one, called Heartache. I can't figure out how to put it on my page, so you'll just get a little extra workout clicking once or twice more. ;-P
