My life has been one great big joke,
A dance that’s walked,
A song that’s spoke,
I laugh so hard I almost choke,
When I think about myself.

Perhaps If Death Is Kind ~ Sara Teasdale Poem
“Perhaps if Death is kind, and there can be returning,
We will come back to earth some fragrant night,
And take these lanes to find the sea, and bending
Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white.
We will come down at night to these resounding beaches
And the long gentle thunder of the sea,
Here for a single hour in the wide starlight
We shall be happy, for the dead are free.”
~ Sara Teasdale
“Eyes so transparent that through them the soul is seen.” ~ Theophile Gautier, Poet

There Comes A Point ~ Adam Lindsay Gordon Poem
“There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won’t anymore,
And who always will.
So, don’t worry about people from your past,
there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.”
~ Adam Lindsay Gordon
Destiny ~ e. e. cummings
“…remember one thing only: that it’s you-nobody else-who determines your destiny and decides your fate. Nobody else can be alive for you; nor can you be alive for anybody else.”
~ e. e. cummings
Emily Dickinson Poem
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
