Don&#039;t tell me the sky&#039;s the limit when there are footprints on the moon.<br /> Love Always. :)<br /> When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don&#039;t waste time and tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.

The leaves are yellow
Red even.
The sky is gray
Purple even.
But the light is missing
And the day is gone
To be blunt
It has all gone wrong.

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tightly closed in the bud, was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.
