If I have more to live I would live it with you If I have more love to give My love, I would love you
If I get to live any more I want to live those days With you and then some more Learning all of your ways
If I might see your smile once again When you see me as I come in Living as we do, lovers and friends It would be a life I would never end
If we might share one more kiss As I find you in my arms as I do I would know again what I will miss If I do not see this day complete with you
For as it seems after all of the years You are as real as one day I dreamed And I say with a half smile behind hidden tears Thank you for being all that you have seemed

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” – Galatians 5:22-23
“The instability of our laws is really an immense evil. I think it would be well to provide in our constitutions that there shall always be a twelve-month between the ingross-ing a bill & passing it: that it should then be offered to its passage without changing a word: and that if circum-stances should be thought to require a speedier passage, it should take two thirds of both houses instead of a bare majority.” – Thomas Jefferson, Letter to James Madison, 1787
“We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our own Country’s Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.” – George Washington
“The television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which freezes a billion people to stone every night, staring fixedly, that Siren which called and sang and promised so much and gave, after all, so little.” – Ray Bradbury, science-fiction writer (22 Aug 1920-2012)
