this should be taped on your bathroom…

This should probably be taped
to your bathroom mirror
where one could read it every day.
You may not realize it,
but it’s 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.

2.. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to
be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they don’t
like you.

5. Every night,
SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world
has turned its back on you
take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received..
Forget about the rude remarks. 
And always remember…
when life hands you Lemons,

Good friends are like stars………
You don’t always see them,
But you know they are always there..
“Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though
Sometimes It’s Hell in the Hallway”
I would rather have one rose and a kind word
from a friend while I’m here
than a whole truck load when I’m gone.

Happiness keeps You Sweet
Trials keep You Strong
Sorrows keep You Human
Failures keeps You Humble
Success keeps You Glowing

..immediate jewel of their souls

Good name in man and woman
Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
He who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis something, nothing;
‘Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands:
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.

Alongside the various representations of sincere tears, then, are a series of representations of insincerity and emotional machination.

tummy ache

a breath too deep to be a sigh;
too shallow to be a gasp
but maybe enough to shove down the knot
bending me down

we walk the same line, ETBG

THIS IS DEFINITELY IN MY TOP TEN EVER…

We Walk The Same Line – Everything But The Girl
Now I don’t have to tell you
How slow the night can go,
I know you’ve watched for the light.

And I bet you could tell me
How slowly four follows three,
And you’re most forlorn just before dawn.

So if you loose your faith babe,
You can have mine,
And if you’re lost, I’m right behind,
Cause we walk the same line.

When it’s dark baby,
There’s a light I’ll shine,
And if you’re lost, I’m right behind,
Cause we walk the same line.

And I don’t need reminding
How loud the phone can ring
When you’re waiting for news.

And that big old moon
Lights every corner of the room.
Your back aches from lying
And your head aches from crying.

So if you loose your faith babe,
You can have mine,
And if you’re lost, I’m right behind,
Cause we walk the same line.

When it’s dark baby,
There’s a light I’ll shine,
And if you’re lost, I’m right behind,
Cause we walk the same line.

And if these troubles
Should vanish like rain on midday,
Well I’ve no doubt there’ll be more.

And we can’t run and we can’t cheat,
Cause babe when we meet
What we’re afraid of,
We find out what we’re made of.

So if you loose your faith babe,
You can have mine,
And if you’re lost, I’m right behind,
Cause we walk the same line.

if it is true to be

so that’s why i asked you to hurry;
to sit by me
if it’s only need then it
will wear wearily
upon only me

Wheeling

[the first verse of a new song, written on the original wedding music for caleb & li]

watching & wheeling
‘got fate on a ride
your face is makeshift – straight thru the eyes

Discards

My eyes would discard those things that would
threaten to force my heart torn between that
which is warm and that which is now forlorn.
This house is no home;
it’s a place to press, press it out until it’s gone.
It’s all gone from here now.
Speak no feeling, no, I don’t believe you.
My eyes discard the happenings.
