Favorite Quote:
Sometimes you loose a battle, but mischief always wins the war. -John Green (Looking for Alaska)


When I was 9 I asked you how to dance, 

you said steps.

When I was 11  asked you how to build, 

you said nails. 

When I was 16  asked you how to love, 

you said work. 

When I was 18 I asked you if I Had to move out, 

You said only if you are ready. 

When I was 21 I asked how to get rid of a hangover 

you said lots of vitamins.  

when I was 30 I asked you to give me away,

you said give me your arm. 

When I was 35 I asked how to care for a child, 

you said a lot of bravery. 

When I was 40 I asked you how you left me alone in this world 

 

and you would have said; I haven’t I have just given you time to answer questions of your own.
