Dreaming
“Forever You”
For her, I let my friendships die,
I ran straight into the fires bright.
Did everything to keep the dream
alive, even stayed by her bedside.
I woulda done anything, just to see me
by her side, just one more time.
I even ran into a firefight, crawling
the rain came down on all sides.
For you I would do anything, just no
more fires in my life.
I wish I could do more for you, but I
gave it all for her.
Now all I have, is my love for you,
laying by your side,
Dreaming about our futures bright,
you make my world come alive.
I would not ever change a thing,
because with you I’m again alive.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.
