I wouldn't care how far I'd have to come,
I wouldn't walk a thousand miles I'd run.
I love you
I wouldn't slow down my pace,
Until I saw your pretty face.
I love you
And if I stumbled on my way to you,
I'd think of your smile to get me through.
I love you
I'd dream about you every day,
Until you were in my arms to stay.
I love you
And once I'm there I'll whisper in your ear,
The only words you'll ever hear...
I love you
So call my name and I'll be there,
Forever and always we will share.
I love you

The author's comments:
I was thinking about a guy's love for his girl...and when he's the right guy he'll do anything for his love...and nowhere is too far for him to travel to see her pretty face...and nothing in the world can tear the two apart...it's precious...

Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver importance than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars. - Aristotle<br /> <br /> &lrm;&quot;I think the biggest thing that my failures have taught me is that you can&#039;t succeed without failing&quot;<br /> <br /> -Rick Riordan

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;The dye has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won&rsquo;t look back, let up, slow down, or back away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future secure. I&rsquo;m done with low living, sight walking, small planning, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals: I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, positions, promotions, or popularity. I don&rsquo;t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk with patience, live by prayer and labor with power. My face is set, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won&rsquo;t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of the lord Jesus Christ.&rdquo; - African martyred for Christ.
