The Lesson

Gwyneth Paltrow



I keep on dying again.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.

Sleep Well Tonight


Night is come by, so set your bed and go to sleep,
What lies ahead of you, are lovely dreams.
May all your problems and worries melt away,
For tomorrow is going to be a brand new day!
Good night!

Cinnamon Roll

 fresh out of the oven is a friend for life.”

"ROAR" by Katy Perry


I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus:]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You're gonna hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar...

Blessings of Freedom


Ode To Rose




She is so beautiful, 
She is elegant and fragile 
She is very sensitive, 
Yet so powerful 
Poets praise her, 
Lovers need her, 
She is loved by all 
She is Nature's wonder 
She smells so special, 
She is the symbol of Love 
She brings peace and happiness, 
Truly She is the queen of flowers, 
Yes, the lovely Rose will always bloom, 
And be the reason for thousand smiles.

The Forgotten Town


The rain beats down on the windowpane, 
Lighting streaks the sky. 
The black clouds of rolling thunder, 
Come from the darkened sky. 
I see a branch break off from the tree, 
Falling freely at last to the ground. 
When I listen closely I hear, 
A pitter-patter from the tin roof, 
Of our ancient barn. 
It smells of crisp clean air, 
That's all around. 
The rain diminishing quietly, 
From the forgotten town.

Are You In Love?

Clip from "Scandal"

You know you are in love
when you see the world in her eyes,
and her eyes everywhere in the world.

- David Levesque -

I Love My Country


When an American says that he loves his country,
 he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea.  
He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.
  ~Adlai Stevenson
