travel to see what is unknown, read to understand what is unread, love to know who you truly are.

the dark words came from
their mouth one year ago
but I know one thing is for sure
Someday you'll have it all
youll have the love of a lifetime long
the strength of yesterday
the dreams of tomorrow
the mystery of humor
Everyone will wonder how you did it
the impossible accomplished
the wonder of it all will daze us
the love of your heart will drown us
the miles youve walked will accumulate
the hills will flatten into plains
the memories will dull in a haze
but you will remain
shinning forever

My best friend suffers from aplastic anemia, a rare disease, and with this it is hard to watch her suffer without any ability to help her. So through words I try to console her.
