To Love and Be Loved

 Here is a story from earlier this year. Something that Jordyn had said to me out of innocence that gave me pause. 

She saw something in me that I could not see. 

A part of my soul, the eyes are the windows, or so I've been told. 

Inner beauty, nothing makes a better gift. 

Why do you suppose people give flowers? 

To give our spirits a lift. 

 So as we embark on our journeys and start a new year 

I send you every blessing and a heart with no fear.

 Love and Be Loved "2014"

It was a good year, It was a sad year.
It was a year full of gripes, and a year full of strife.
I've traveled, I've seen, I've tried.
I've fought, I've failed, I've cried.
It Was a year full of growth as I learned how to share. ..
My feelings, my time, the good and the bad, 

My life with others even when I felt sad. 

But I learned from this walk that some simply can't conceive, 

That it is much more valuable to give than it is to receive.
Love & be loved "2014"
