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

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
