May our joy outline the lives we touch without ceasing.
And may our love fill the world, angel wings tenderly beating.

"The moon relies on the sun for all its light; without the sun, the moon would just be a large rock orbiting the earth. People are the same. Without encouragement, support and hard work we are just lightless rocks orbiting with no real purpose. But when we do endeavor to make a difference, we are a full moon bringing light to those in the dark of this world."

"You are never to complain of your birth, your training, your employments, your hardships; never to fancy that you could be something if only you had a different lot and sphere assigned you. God understands His own plan, and He knows what you want a great deal better than you do. The very things that you most deprecate, as fatal limitations or obstructions, are probably what you most want. What you call hindrances, obstacles, discouragements, are probably God's opportunities. Bring down your soul, or, rather, bring it up to receive God's Will and do His work, in your lot, in your sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against your temptations, and then you shall find that your condition is never opposed to your good, but really consistent with it."

If there is a place beyond the stars,
That is the place I want to be.
Though tough it seems
To reach there,
But one who believes
Can always achieve.

"Life is a journey fuelled by inspiration and aspiration, and directed by a compass called the heart."

You come to my lonely nights...
Like a star in the dark...
Beauty light in the heart...
To make it delight...
You come to my lonely days...
Like an angel with a rose...
Fragments all around...
Bloom love like in paradise...
You make my heart fly up and high...
When I feel your lovely cheeks and lips...
Like young lovers...
And love all we have...
Sad thing to be blind...
When an angel like you is alive...
Hold me and don't let go...
For you are thy love I am here for...
Without it I live no more...
In the world of darkness...
You make me shine like a star...
And who else would be my star...
But you my thy...
Star

"Do not worry about failing everything many times. How else will you learn how to succeed? As babies we couldn't walk, talk or eat. Imagine if we'd never accepted someone's help and given up at crawling, gurgling and spoon-feeding! So then, don't allow many attempts to grind you down - let them polish you up!"
