Don&#039;t tell me the sky&#039;s the limit when there are footprints on the moon.<br /> Love Always. :)<br /> When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don&#039;t waste time and tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.

Hold my hand please
I feel as if I might fall.
My feet have no balance
Nor does my heart.
I wish I could ask for your help
Because you know everything.
Don't you?
You said you did,
years ago.
Did you lie
Teach me wrong?
Do you know everything?

Parents are like superheros to young kids, when the kids still think they know everything...now we know better. :)

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
