Dramatic Reading of a Breakup Letter.

Oh, this is funny.

I keep your picture by my bed for when I'm feeling sad
And I don't know why i would be.
The way your smile looks so real
I feel like I could start to understand your grace.
...
Cause I have photographs and memories of the times
When you weren't on my mind and I was alone.
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
When you weren't on my side and I didn't know
Just what is love...
Writing moments on the wall with different colors
Keeps my mind away from missing you.
And I can't wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
Where we can dance upon a star..
And I will be as patient as a boy in love could ever be.
Cause I don't feel like I was real until you were
A part of me.



I need you back, I need you back
I need you here.
I need your smile, I need your eyes
I need you, dear.
Cause every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
For my eyes to trace...

we were sixteen.
maybe less, maybe a little more.

I must conquer my loneliness alone.

I must be happy with myself or I have nothing to offer.

Two halves have little choice but to join, and yes, they do make a whole.

But two wholes, when they coincide . . . that is beauty.

That is love.

Peter Williams

Is it a coincidence that missionaries give a portion of their lives in behalf of others, then come home and testify of their great love for the people they have served? Is it any wonder that bishops and other priesthood and auxiliary leaders who sacrifice for others are filled with love for those who are recipients of their labors? Is there a greater love among mortals than that of a mother, who offers all for her child? Many who desire to have charity like Jesus attain it as he did.

unanswered questions

why does everything remind me of you?

why can i not stop thinking about you?

and why do i miss you now more than ever?

and why do i feel like i need to leave as soon as you come home?

I'm just sitting out here, watching airplanes
take off and fly away
tryin' to figure out which one you might be on

I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.

Marilyn Monroe

history never looks like history when you are living through it.

john w. gardner

Once upon a time, there was a quiet little village in the French countryside, whose people believed in Tranquilité - Tranquility. If you lived in this village, you understood what was expected of you. You knew your place in the scheme of things. And if you happened to forget, someone would help remind you. In this village, if you saw something you weren't supposed to see, you learned to look the other way. If perchance your hopes had been disappointed, you learned never to ask for more. So through good times and bad, famine and feast, the villagers held fast to their traditions. Until, one winter day, a sly wind blew in from the North...

i miss you.

you really got a hold on me. .
i love you and i really want you to do is just hold me.

(she & him)

come away with me
and I'll never stop loving you

and I want to wake up with the rain
falling on a tin roof
while I'm safe there in your arms
so all I ask is for you
to come away with me in the night
come away with me

- norah jones.

Skeleton, you are, you are my friend

And I will be there for you until the end

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

emily dickinson

You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

David Harkins

'Many young women are serving missions. Many are preparing to serve, not because they aren't married or have nothing else to do, but because they have the desire to serve, and therefore are being called to the work. The reason why there are so many going is because this next generation, Heavenly Father will be sending His priesthood army to earth and wants them to be sent to mothers who have been properly trained and taught in the gospel. What better training can a young woman have than serving a full time mission?'

Ezra Taft Benson

So, I bought me a book to teach me the ways of God
Open my tarnished heart from it
And I started praising the Lord and talking in tongues and code
And made repairs on that broken road back home

Land of Marigolds - Joshua James

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.

Benjamin Franklin

Can I be the girl that you met in the coin laundry?

So Goodbye for a while I'm off to explore
Every boundary and every door
Yeah I'm going north

So goodbye for a while I'm out to learn more
About who I really was before
Yeah I'm going north
