Stand Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (My first poem)

Stand up!

Enough is enough

Pull yourself together

As you have the world in front of you

Be the person you want to be

No time to wait

Take the stage

Go ahead and do the walk

If you tumble

Pause and rest

But move on

Take the street

The road

The highway

Rough and smooth

Do the knock

If no one answers

Keep on going

Go..go..go….

Take your time

Your own speed

To each choice

And finally

A door will lead the way

You will know

You will know

Human Touch

“I’m lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earths love. I will take life’s final offering; I will take the last human blessings.” Rabindranath Tagore

The article details the first week of life of a set of twins. Apparently each were in their respective incubators and one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought against the hospital rules and placed the babies in one incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of the two, threw an arm over her sister in an endearing embrace. The smaller babys heart stabilized and temperature rose to normal. Although I’ve heard this before, my heart still warms when I hear it. —

To be happy

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.” – Woody Allen
