We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. --Author Unknown

I wonder what the future holds,
Will I be rich and famous?
Or live at home as a writer,
Always off on a fox like journey

Or will I choose a simpler fate,
And go into the steady cake business,
Where I can be “Van Gough of Cakes”,
And live persuing my dreams.

Maybe I will be off like a bird,
And travel the ocean blue,
To see the great Western Wall,
And explore being a Jew.

What if my dreams collided,
And sizzled under the radar,
While I stayed at home with my kids,
And dreamed of what could have been.

But whatever the future holds,
I know that I’ll find something right,
Because everything I have hoped for,
Has been because of you.
