You are the poem I dreamed of writing
the masterpiece I longed to paint...
You are the shining star I reached for
in my ever-hopeful quest
for life fulfilled...

You are my child...
Now with all things I am blessed.

There goes my child.
Her gait is grace.
The radiance showing on her face
is my delight.

I can't embrace
her lilting pace.
I can't forestall
her errors all.

Nor can I hold
what I behold.
Nor shall I tell
what should be told.

Nor will I catch
what might be caught,
or teach the lesson
I was taught.

I can but stand
and gaze in awe
at all the radiance
which I saw:

the radiance
glowing on her face.
There goes my child.
Her gait is grace.

  • Follow your dreams.
  • Remember the ones you love.
  • Do the right thing, regardless of what other people think.
  • The more you know, the less you fear.

  • That how you say something is just as important as what you say.
  • Never risk what you can't afford to lose.
  • Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
  • Love deeply and passionately.
  • Life will sometimes give you a magical moment- savor it.
  • Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
  • Silence is sometimes the best answer.
  • Ignorance is expensive.
  • Don't confuse bravery with foolishness, and kindness with weakness.
  • Don't judge people by their relatives.
  • No matter where you go or what you do, we'll always love you.
  • Follow your own star....
