Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone. And do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering. - Ida Scott Taylor


You can feel the wind in your hair,
You can hear the sounds of the ocean.
You can smell the grass beneath your toes,
For the small things always show if you let them.
You just want to feel alive,
You want to be together side by side.
One thing never changes….
The music, that lights the fire in your heart.
The music, that guides you through the dark.
The movement that it brings,
The voices that make it sing.
And the love that lingers in the background.

The World keeps spinning,
If you want it to or not.
Life keeps moving forward.
Even when your dreams are shot.
The Knowledge that fills your head doesn’t beat….
The music, that lights the fire in your heart.
The music, that guides you through the dark.
The movement that it brings,
The voices that make it sing,
And the love that lingers in the background.

When life comes to an end,
And the road makes its final turn.
You are only as strong as what you’ve learned,
So you must learn from the small things.

The sounds of the ocean and the feel of the grass
Is the music, that lights the fire in your heart,
The music, that guides you through the dark.
The movement that you bring,
Your voice makes it sing.
And never forget the love that lingers in the background.
