Favorite Quote:
"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
– Mother Teresa


Behind every smile
Is a story
Hoping to be told
Behind every pair of eyes
Are scores of tears
Aching to pour out

People haunt me
I want to know, to help
But I'm afraid to ask
I only wish
Someone would care enough
To notice what I hide as well

This was beautiful. I always think this for myself and you put my thoughts into words. I love it.
