СКАЧАТЬ a little more

      She wanted to raise a great woman on the shores of a man’s world

      And let her sail as captain of her fate

      Eyes wide to the stars and yet determined

      To shake up the world with her mind

      A chance to fight back the shadows

      To never be afraid to run full speed in fields of lilies

      To hold her head up

      And shine

      Jump

      The boy watched the little bird on the edge of the nest, sitting there in eternal contemplation, as if all the world were before him, his hopes and his dreams all but a wing’s breath away. He could see the mother bird flying back and for the chirping songs of encouragement. The little bird then spread one wing to its maximum length as if to stretch away all his doubts and fears. Next, he extended the other wing as if he were pushing away any other choice but to fly. He could feel the gentle breeze kiss his face as if all the universe conspired to this one moment where this one small sparrow hinged on this instance. His whole life seemed about this one twinkle in time. And then, as if pushed on by his heart to fly or to fall simply on faith, he leapt. He leapt with the faith of Peter walking on water and as if without choice.

      The boy held his breath, and in accord, the leaves and the world froze in the blink of an eye. It seemed as though the sparrow fell forever, but with wings stretched wide and God’s gentle hand carrying him with the spring winds, he flew, higher and higher and gloriously without strings. With a smile, the boy realized that the jump was never the pivotal moment. It was the point when the bird’s heart whispered that life should never be about fear because the anticipation of failure is always worse than the tries. It was when it realized that no heart ever suffered when chasing a dream. Turning from the window, the boy would ever more understand that the greatest part of a journey was not when you finished but the process of the journey itself. It is when you realize that God has unlocked the mystery of your dreams to your heart and that nothing can stand against you and that the voice in your heart is God telling you that your soul is his soul and that you are a miracle, that you can do miracles, and that the best way to glorify God is to jump.

      An Honest Love Poem

      When u smile at me, I’m as helpless as a kitten in a tree

      Wanting only you to come and save me

      Baby, I just wanna get next to you

      I am truly vexed by you

      I can’t tell if it’s in your smile

      Or if it’s the way you touch me

      Make a thirsty man walk one hundred miles

      In an arid desert where even mirages refuse to play

      Could it be I am falling in love with you

      You touched me in a place I never knew

      Open up my eyes like a newborn child

      You let me see for the first time and my first sight was you

      You’re my angel and my love

      I could never have dreamed of another besides you

      This thing we have has got to be from heaven above

      You are my Michelle Obama

      My hot little number

      My chérie amour

      And I adore you

      You are my sweet little flower

      My soul d’amor

      And I do not want to live without you

      Like a flower out of water, I would wilt

      With your touch, you give me power

      You shower me with a love that I can never grasp

      And never hope to ask why you love me so

      So I just am content to blame it on gravity

      Simply put, I am just meant to be close to you

      You are my Venus

      That star that guides me in the midnight sky

      And on my list of joys, you are reasons number one through nine

      (And number ten is to start from number one all over again)

      How do I tell you in any other way?

      Je t’aime

      Te amo

      Ti voglio bene

      Ani ohev otach

      Mo ni fe

      No matter how you spin it

      No matter what time or what day

      My heart still burns for you

      With a heat that only warms my yearning for you

      Like the moon thirsty for the midnight sky

      I forever long for you

      I never want to learn to be without you

      All that is to say…

      I could never tear my heart away from a love this good

      So, it’s got to be true

      I may not be your first or your only

      But all we have is this instant in time

      For tomorrow you might be gone

      Leaving me sitting solitary and forlorn

      But that doesn’t matter in the here and now

      While I can hear your laughter

      Feel your caress

      Or hold you for just a moment and see your smile

      I can’t say that I will never hurt you

      Or never make you cry

      I will never be unblemished

      And not always avoid all lies

      I know we are not perfect together

      Neither are we apart

      So I will not seek to hold you to a standard

      That will never be СКАЧАТЬ
