At my childhood church, an oak tree stands, With branches extended toward heaven. At a hundred years old at least I’d guess, What secrets it must hold in its resin.
Not Merely To Survive, But To Thrive
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. ~ Maya Angelou
Without Stain
God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you, to go through it, not without pain, but without stain. ~ C. S. Lewis
A Solitary Soul
I’m a solitary soul, without love at my side, A life alone, with just myself to keep. I’ve no hand to hold, no man in whom to confide, No comfort in the night, no kiss upon my cheek.
Plenty by Emily Romrell
Plenty is abundance in life,
Personal growth underway,
Happiness that no knife,
Can cut or strip away.
If you look it’s waiting for you,
Every single day.
Pick Up Your Pen And Write
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write. ~ Martin Luther

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
She’s Gone
Tonight I woke from a bad dream, And it took several moments for reality To fill back through me the way you feel cold water going down on a hot day.
Along The Road by Robert Browning Hamilton
I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser For all she had to say.
Fail In Originality
It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ~ Herman Melville
