Being happy is not something you can force upon yourself or anyone else, you just have to be if you wish to be happy!

Time is the one thing you can always find, when you have something that matters.

Thought of the day:

Give a friend a hug when they least expect it
For who knows when you need one, and it always helps.

If the words that are written here offend you, that is not my intent, If we have met, and I am not the person you wish me to be, I cannot change who I am, if you see me and we do not speak, I am sorry , but give me your hello, so that I may respond in kind, we are here for the blink of an eye, so let's look at things and let the beauty that is life not pass us by.

He kissed my lips of brown.(tribute to the people of haiti)

You see my eyes so brown yet red,
dust and dirt still cover my head,
my body dripping from blood and sweat,
we stuggle with you when first we met,

Yet even near my death my voice did sing,
so close to the end yet to life I did cling,
you hold me close to calm my fear,
even when buildings falling is all I hear,

Cries I hear still ringing so loud,
from houses that fell down in a dusty cloud,
the things you have I hold so dear,
I prey for water even if it's not clear,

My body is weak yet you hold me so strong,
I whisper to you what have I done wrong,
you smile back at me and reply do not cry,
the trials you see and have suffered will go by,

All things have a reason to be my dear child,
a voice sounding so strong and yet mild ,
the sun will rise and set once more,
a breeze will wash across the shore,

He laid me down upon the ground,
which felt so nice though it was a mound,
wiping my tears away with his gown,
then gently kissing my lips of brown,

Know I am with you through the darkest day,
and the nights when others have lost thier way,
your prayers are heard one and all,
rise again from where you did fall,

On that day as the sun went down,
when my spirit was low and I heard no sound,
He came and kissed my lips of brown,
and spoke as his body light did surround,

Be at peace my childern of Haiti born,
know my love is with you though your city is torn,
let my words lift your spirits of those alive,
and know that this too I will help you survive.

And I remember his kiss of my lips of brown.
