Keep the hurt, keep the pain
Away from my light.
For I shall shine brighter
Than the moon at night.

My soul contains happiness that flies
High like a kite.
And the peace that I feel
Should stay in my sight.

Forgive the guilty,
And help the poor.
Open your heart
Like an open door.

Then maybe the hurt
And the pain that you feel
Can leave your heart and soar.

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
