Remember... that each child is a separate person. Yours forever, but never fully yours. She can never be all you wished or wanted or all you know she could be. But she will be a better human being if you can let her be herself. ~Stella Chess


Your fingers press the keys,
Sweet music splits the silence,
All hesitation gone,
No doubts left in my mind.
I thought that you might love me,
It seems that I was wrong,
But even though I was angry,
Now all I feel is serenity.
You led me on,
Pretended,
Put on a fake face,
But even though my soul is broken,
I can see the light.
Your love belongs to no one,
Your hands caress none,
Your lips will never touch another.
Your heart is filled for one thing-
It cannot feel emotion,
It has no hands to hold,
It does not have a mouth.
Yet your beloved,
Nonliving as it is,
Can relate to you,
Can speak to you,
Can return your love.
The black and white keys you press,
Are all you need in life.

I play piano, and I can relate to someone being so in love with music that they can adore no other.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
