Day 16-Day 24

Day 16 — A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)

Mamma
You gave life to me
Turned a baby into a lady

Mamma
All you had to offer
Was the promise of a lifetime of love

Now I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child

And I know
A love so complete
Someday must leave
Must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

Mamma
You gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman

Mamma
All I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me

'Cause I know
There is no other
Love like a mother's love for her child

And it hurts so
That something so strong
Someday will be gone, must say goodbye

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

But the love you gave me will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you 'til forever comes

And when you need me
I'll be there for you always
I'll be there your whole life through
I'll be there this I promise you, Mamma

Mamma, I'll be
I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights
I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I'll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you 'till forever comes

Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye

'Till we meet again...
Until then...
Goodbye

before we got in trouble for trying to hurt themselves.

weird.

"now it dont take much thought, not with the love you've got. and you give it to me for free, some might take that for granted, but certainly not me. no, not when i have a lover like you."

goodbye, for now.

i went to the park to read.

i almost fell asleep.

i ended up writing. observing.

the park was filled with families.

"i wish you'd see yourself as beautiful as i see you. why can't you see yourself as beautiful as i see you? i open my door and this is what i see: the hope inside a girl just looking back at me. oh my... goodbye."

goodbye, for now

just a little something i wrote for class.

Psalm of Love

Tell me not, in hateful ways
Love is an intricate frame
For hate is useless, watch what you say
Hurting feelings is not a game

Love is real! Love is pure!
In vain and in boastful measures is not it’s goal
In sincerity and selflessness I’m sure,
We love because God loves our soul.

Not bliss and not sorrow
Is the path we are promised
But to act, that each tomorrow
Will find us with love that is still honest

Our days are short but love is solid
Love is beautiful like an ocean with no end
The colors of truth and purity as the sun is falling
Love is this: constant, a tree firm in the ground. It does not bend

For love is not just something between a wife and man
But to strangers, neighbors and the poor child
Loving all the time sometimes can be hard, but you can
Be sincere in your ways let’s not be mild

Let us, then, be up and selfless
With a heart that simply loves on others
Be God’s heart to those who are unknowingly blessed
Let’s live love to our God-given sisters and brothers.

today.
my 17th birthday.
hm. good? yes.

i started off the day by going downtown to adopt-a-block with some crazy SUMC people. it was so great. we delivered food, talked to and prayed for people who were less fortunate in downtown atlanta.




then, as you can see, i got katie and we went to the mall, i had to get some things for prom. :) we also went to sephora and put on some makeup, including neony-hot pink lipstick for me! haha we counted how many people stared, we only counted 15, pretty sure we missed some. haha

we got some free chick-fil-a cause it was my birthday. woo!

i am so blessed. i have such great friends.

thank you. yeah. you. cause you're awesome. and you make me smile all the time.

goodnight.

"i remember crying over you, and i don't mean like a couple of tears and then i'm blue. i’m talkin’ about collapsing and screaming at the moon. but i'm a better man for having gone through it."

goodbye, for now.

"sleepwalk with me, close your eyes, take a ride, and have faith in what you can’t see. sleepwalk with me, if we try we can find something real, out of make believe."
