Favorite Quote:
"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all."

I pick up my heart
Broken and cold
And cradle it tightly
As it's love unfolds

I pick up my smile
And hug it close
I whisper to it quietly
'I missed you the most'

I pick up my spirit
And pet it gently
Its warm and amazing
'Did you miss me?'

Finally, I pick up myself
Its dirty, but yet alive
I gaze at it longly
And realize that it's mine
