Favorite Quote:
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.<br /> - Nathaniel Hawthorne

The rays of gold,
Reaching thru the leaves,
Like a hand caressing your skin,
A mother and child.
Warmth in the cold air,
The steam that rises from the lake.
Peaking through the clouds,
Running across the sky,
Let me run with it!
To be free,
To be me.

The song Sunshine on My Shoulders by John Denver inspired me. Sunshine is such a beautiful thing.
