rulers

they say we leave this world just the way we came into it-

naked and alone.

so if we do leave with nothing,

what then is the measure of a life?

is it defined by the people we choose to love?

or is life simply measured by our accomplishments?

and what if we fail?

or are never truly loved?

what then?

can we ever measure up?

or would the quiet desperation of a life gone wanting drive us mad?

she..

and his world would be whole again.

and his belief in God,

and love,

and art

would be reawakened in his heart.

magic

make a wish and place it in your heart.

anything you want.

everything you want.

do you have it?

good.

now believe it can come true.

you never know where the next miracle is gonna come from.

the next smile.

the next wish come true.

but if you believe that it's right around the corner,

and you open your heart

and mind

to the possibility of it-

to the certainty of it-

you just might get the thing you're wishing for.

the world is full of magic.

you just have to believe in it.

so make your wish.

do you have it?

good.

now believe in it. 

with all your heart.

home

one of these days you're gonna wake up 

and feel that same ache in your chest that i feel every morning 

and you're gonna realize how much i love you. 

and whenever that day is, 

i'll still be waiting for you. 

and you'll come home to me.
