"Forever And Always"

She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they've seen him
Why, is something wrong?
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says something's happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said

I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always

She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls, a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay

Stay there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always

Then she gets an idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says

I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always

She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always

Every Little One.

Rhythm

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You’re on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
~ Dr Seuss

Dr Suess has always had fun poems to read. He was so creative and simple. It wasnt too little but it wasn't ever too much. I wish I could write like him and open up my creative part of my brain and just let it flow.

Warm Summer Day.

Remember that day when we got in your car and just drove. We drove until we hit the top, top of the world it felt like. I was soaking up your smile, and taking in your laughs. We watched the sunset and danced to our song. Remember when you let me wear your jacket and you took pictures of me, and told me how beautiful I looked?

I remember.

Some of the best times were with you. You're big dreams of going places I never thought were possible. You're ambition to be something big, and never giving up until you reached it. You inspired me. You made me feel like I could do whatever I wanted. I could be anyone. You helped me grow, you showed me love, and you gave me friendship. You made me feel like I was something again. I was something to you, and you are the world to me.

Courage

Courage can make or break you. If one of us had the courage to stand up to someone, or had the courage to tell that friend how much we really cared about them, maybe they would still be here. Maybe if we had the courage to be ourselves and not everyone else, we would all get along better.

To me, courage says a lot about someone's character. Someone who has courage is willing and kind. They will do what is right even when the pressure is high.

Courage can open up so many doors, and brighten so many lives.
