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

Watch This

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

We must be our own before we can be another's.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

And sometimes, sometimes I wanna be

I scream that I wanna be

Anyone but me.



Amy's Song by Joshua Radin

what you love is always beautiful

lovers without love

this road has all, but taught me lessons
about my lonely soul
i am young and getting wiser,
soon i will grow old
trip my heart from misconceptions
fill my eyes with grief
let me make my own connections
in this endless sea.

of muscle, cars, and endless bars, of shopping centers for the teams.
of high price propane and crack cocaine,
and lovers without love like me.

i see so much my vision's blurry,
in the world i live
if we're to change then we must hurry,
the devil's moving in.
love and hate cannot see colors,
like the human eyes,
so priests and preachers, parents, teachers,
don't act so damn surprised

its the world we've made and living in
of greed, lust, and poverty,
of war and pride, teen suicide,
and lovers without love like me
from topless dances to Marilyn Manson
and lovers without love like me.

there's kids in gangs
we have coveted fame,
we have sweat shops across the sea,
we have abortive mothers,
and we hate each other

and there's lovers without love
there's lovers without love
there's lovers without love
like me

Beauty in the Decay

Rot if there is rot, or shall it be said,
If the roots are rotting.
For it seems the tree is dying.
A crippling plague bound for imprisonment.
But alas, my father always taught me,
To tear the whole thing from the ground
and rebuild.
But I have found beauty in the decay,
Solace in its soul,
Color in its fragments
And this. . .
This is a sea of corrosion.
Now with reason it's been said,
Build this from the bowels of infamy,
And in it you will find hope.

Joshua James.

Don't you worry about a thing,
I don't need diamonds on my ring.
Just hold me close
And love me dear
And promise me,
You'll be right here.
