Halloween Night
Halloween Night The moon hangs pale above the wood, Where shadows creep and dark has stood. What rustles there behind the tree, When night falls silently and free.

Living Within the Tide
Life is yours to live, so don't make it unnecessarily hard on yourself. Live within your capabilities, do your best, and honor your limits. Much of our pressure comes from wanting too much, and much of our pain stems from taking things too seriously.

We are not the titles we carry, Nor the endless tasks we complete, But the courage we awaken in strangers, And the hope we plant in those we meet. For life is measured not by our achievements, Nor by the applause that fades away, But by the hearts that beat a little stronger, Because we crossed their path one day.
