Favorite Quote:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.


She is exceptionally beautiful
like a lily on a shimmering spring day.
She shines kindness
like the star Acamar.
But she is imperfectly
perfect like a raw diamond.
She lifts my spirits when I am
feeling down from my day.
I spend every waking moment
wanting to see her.
She never lets me down.
Her hair flows in the wind
so softly,
like the leaves in autumn.
She’s independent and
strong, like lady liberty.
She never skips a beat,
unlike my heart when I see her.
She is always on my mind
as if she were a song stuck in my head.
The way the sunlight shines
in her bright blue eyes
no one can help but fall in love.
