For my special someone

This is a very touching piece, I'd honestly say something that expresses 70% of my feelings for my loved one. lol But yea it still comes close. Enjoy.


Your touch is with me always,
It’s burnt into my skin,
As soft and warm as sun rays
When a summer day sets in.

Your soft voice never silent,
It’s forever in my ears,
Serenading every moment
And calming all my fears.

Your arms always enfold me,
The strength of angels wings,
They support and protect me wholly
With the safety a true love brings.

While I can never repay you,
For the wonder you bring to my life,
I can forever be true,
And forever be a true wife.

Audrey Hepburn Beauty Tips

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn
wrote when asked to share her "Beauty Tips."
Years later, it was read at her funeral.


For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.


For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people.


For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry.


For beautiful hair,
let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.


For poise,
walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.


People, even more than things,
have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
and redeemed; never throw out anyone.


Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you will find one at the end of each of your arms.


As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

WHAT I LIVE BY

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
