&quot;Our truest responsibility to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find the truth.&quot;<br /> - Madeleine L&#039;Engle

I shan’t compare thee to a summer’s day
Nor to a sweet, fair rose, by any name
Thou dost not resemble the buds of May
Oh, the dance of words, I can’t play this game
Yes, Shakespeare, he made it seem so easy
Passionate language his love to define
I can’t describe thee with such fluency
I hope thou knowest I want thee to be mine
I admire every little step thou takest
I want to sing of how much I love thee
I’ve always listened to all thou hath spakest
When I am with thee, my heart flutters free
Oh but how could any ever know of
What is between us, the strength of this love

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don&#039;t worry be happy! :)
