Favorite Quote:
Nothing is so insufferable to man as to be completely at rest, without passions, without business, without diversion, without study. He then feels his nothingness, his forlornness, his insufficiency, his dependence, his weakness, his emptiness. There will immediately rise from the depth of his heart weariness, gloom, sadness, fretfulness, vexation, despair.
Blaise Pascal


Tugging on my heart strings
Just for you my voice sings
My every word your ears ring
But still it’s not enough………

Who knew you were a puppeteer
Who knew you could evoke such fear
Who knew my course you could veer
But still it’s not enough………

I’m not a shadow, I am a light
I’m not a hardship, I’m not a blight
Only for you, not flight but fight
But still it’s not enough………

It’s too cold, I am your warmth
Your life needs changes, I am your storm
Your life needs structure, I’ll give it form
But still it’s not enough………

You want to travel far and wide
You want to soar, not just glide
You want adventure to never subside
But still it’s not enough………

You want the stars and the moon
You want the twilight and the highest noon
You want sunrays, you want them soon
But still it’s not enough…………..

You think that I’ll ever leave
You fear the coming of this eve
You feel sobs, you feel heaves
Be still I’ll be enough…………….

You cannot face this all alone
You think all chances have been blown
You think this world gray as stone
Be still I’ll be enough…………..

Mistakes be made and past long by
Stepped right over second try
Can hardly run, but try to fly
Be still I’ll be enough…………….

For I am here and you are there
I’ll make sure that life is fair
While into your eyes I stare
Be still I’ll be enough
