I love the flowers that bloom in spring,
for all the joy and love they bring.
I love the sun that warms the sky
How about sad but hopeful.
Lonely but looking inward.
Resting but planning your next step.
If this day is my last,
I will be rejoicing,
Reminiscing my memories since my life came to being.
I will spend this day only by praying
Famous Poem
Let me but live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;
Not mourning for the things that disappear
There will be days
when your heart will break.
And there will be days when
your heart will soar.
Inspiring. Truthful and well-written. I like it. Good read.

You will face great trials,
Adversity, and strife.
This is what I like reading. I love it! It reads so calm and peaceful, so soft and warm. You did an excellent job.
If I could create a picture book of
memories from the past,
every chapter a masterpiece
of unforgettable moments rehashed.
I've never wished for fortunes,
I've always prayed for better things.
I'm happy and contented,
Never wanting to live like a king.
There is no reason to feel troubled
if your path has not been made clear to you yet.
When you remain true to your spirit,
courageous in action,
Your springtime has gone.
Your summers have passed.
Autumn's now waving goodbye.
I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that
When you stop trying
to fit into a world
that you don’t belong to anymore,
you grow

To be, no matter where, a man;
To take what comes of good or ill
And cling to faith and honor still;
Famous Poem
The holiest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart,
When the full river of feeling overflows;--
