The Most Beautiful Thing

I don’t usually share things on here, 

but these boys have some serious talent.  

And sometimes I think about how cool people really are.  

Today, my professor gave the prayer at the beginning of our last lecture.  He said, “...and bless these students that they’ll live a life that honors thee.”

I think we use the gifts God gives us to bless others.

And that’s what this reminds me of.

happy endings.

It's funny how much you can see in a person's eyes, once you really stop and look.  The love is there, I've seen it.  It's that moment when they smile and you  see a little bit of light spill out around the edges.  It's their favorite song and giving up half of their peanut butter and honey sandwich for you. It's laughter, and it's jamocha shakes from Arby's. 

It's love, and I've seen it.

And it's hard to look into the empty eyes of someone you used to know.  It's hard to look just to see that all the light has gone, taking with it a little bit of yours, too.  And every time you look back you'll see what's missing again, and it's hard to believe that you'll ever get any of it back. It's that little place in your heart, that little piece of love, that will always be reserved for them.

It's hard today, and I'm not sure that it'll ever get any easier.    

Then I look to that picture taped to my wall because all we can do now is love and wait and hope that maybe one day we'll have the chance to help somebody.

Yes, for now, I'll just wait and pray,
                        "Come back home, please."

Empty Glasses.

Sometimes I lack faith, but I refuse to cry.

And I know it's just my doubt talking,

but could you tell me, just one more time,

that it's all going to be ok?
