Tiger Lily
By Matt38 GOLD
Warwick, Rhode Island

Tiger lily feet. Tip-toe through meadows. Finger-tip melodies, Dancing with our dreams. Hip-hops through drip-drops, Morning dew on freckled petals. Something new on blooming...

&quot;In three words I can sum up everything I&#039;ve learned about life: it goes on.&quot; - Robert Frost<br /> <br /> &quot;Have we reached the end?&quot; asked Pooh.<br /> &quot;I suppose so, and yet...&quot;<br /> &quot;Yes, Piglet?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s also the beginning.&quot;

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.<br /> By Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, &#039;Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented?&#039; Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. We were all born to make manifest the glory of God that&#039;s within us - it&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> -Nelson Mandela
