Is it in the wake of the hearts that love me that I do truly exist? It is a short lived life we have here... and the element of people are that of their virtues... I am my faith, my love, my patience, and my hope. Emily once called Hope a tiny bird perched in the soul, singing the songs no one can word, and even though my bird seems silent to the hearts of those that do not see or hear me, the little bird within never sleeps without the music a constant humming. Faith is the tiny ribbon in the wind that seems helpless, but it flies with more control than you can know, and lands at your feet for a purpose and reasoning. Patience is the thing happening when I don't even notice it, it lives in the wake of the little moments that seem to last so long and the long moments that don't seem to last at all. And love... it is the dwelling within the body of Patience, Hope, and Faith and runs like the rivers and the oceans, it feeds the bird of hope, blows the winds of faith, and washes the feet of soils that polute the soul. Within us all is the power to love with our very all, and on the wings of white doves I reach to fly the place where the purest love resides. It is everyday that I walk the road to reach for those around me that are endearing, and each hand I reach to hold I know a piece of me lives within the soul of every heart that I love.

"Sometimes in our relentless effort to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words, for you will find rewarding happiness, not with the man you love but with the man who loves you more. The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance far enough to allow the person to grow but never too far to feel the love within your being. To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but is also setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart. Do not let the bitterness take away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you; but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in loving someone from a distance not expecting something in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past, but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today. - You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow. If you lose love that doesn't mean you failed in love. Cry if you have to, but make sure that tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime." -Albert Einstein
