quotes
Happy
Happiness is fleeting and thrills misleading. Conjure me joy to ward off wailing agony. Lighten my heart with love to fight the world’s misery. Let me be me. Smiling down destiny
Happy Father’s Day
Sonnet 116
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
― William Shakespeare
Moving Forward
History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, and if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.
–Maya Angelou

Hi Mom, Happy Mother’s Day
You were my first fan when I was eleven and started scribbling poems. I know you peruse my page every so often because despite being my biggest fan, you’re also my biggest critic. But, I would have you no other way.
My siblings and I are lucky to have someone like you, that will not only accept every part of who we are, but believe that we can achieve greatness.
There’s no poem or clever bunching of words that can encompass how much
I love you
The Paradise of Hope
Death becomes integral to life. That’s why we live it.
Here rests his …
Here rests his head upon the lap of earth
A youth to fortune and to fame unknown.
Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy marked him her own.
–excerpt from The Epitaph by Thomas Gray
