Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.
I've grown tired of loveYou are the trouble with meI watch you walk right by.
It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
The joy that isn't shared dies young.
My dear it was a momentto clutch at for a momentso that you may beleve in itand believing is the act of love, I think,even in the telling wherever it went.
Even without wars, life is dangerous.
God owns heaven but He craves the earth.
Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.
