“I know I must conceal my sentiments: I must smother hope; I must remember that he cannot care much for me. For when I say I am of his kind, I do not mean I have his force to influence, and his spell to attract: I mean only I have certain tastes and feelings in common with him.

“Come, sit next to me. As you will, so will be. As long as you are next to me, Even your silence is tranquility. I know it hurts like the dickens! Yet every wound delivers valiance. At your every whim I am your servant. But to every wound you are your treatment. Your trouble is my trouble. Be not disheartened if the world frowns. Clouds are nothing but herald of sunshine. Pain of today is tomorrow's crown. So I say, come, sit next to me. As you will, so will be.”

“Despite mournful envy and Dejected wrath, We bask under blue skies, Bewitching stars, And mystical moons, Loving rumbles of thunder, Glistening raindrops, And a hazy peaceful sunrise. In the face of Sorrowful greed, We delight in magnificent mountains, Bountiful oceans, Turquoise lagoons, Beautiful blossoms, And the green, green grass Of springtime. Through raging anger, Aching sadness, We treasure radiant sunsets, Seek marble courtyards, Ancient architecture, And splendid arched bridges. We sing the praises of Breathtaking falls. Even crushed And bewildered, We are captivated by Exquisite winged creatures, Tropical forests, And the critters we nurture. We embrace the power in our divinity And the superb magic of everything. With every threat to the world We belong to And embrace, We revel in books and dreams. We’re mesmerized by Otherworldly visions And plentiful hues. We cherish The light in ever-curious Truth seekers, And are ever grateful For smiles, Rapturous affection, Laughter, And love.”
