I've never seen a butterfly give up with just one wing.
I've never seen a bluebird too lonely to sing.
I've never seen a daisy too shy to bloom.
I've never seen a wolf scared to howl at the moon.
I've never seen the sky to big to cry.
I've never seen a child to young to wonder why.
I've never seen the wind too tired to blow.
I've never seen the sun decide not to show.
I've never seen a tree to tall to touch the ground.
I've never seen a cricket to sick to make a sound.
I've never seen a stream hesitate to be a waterfall.
I'll never give up on life.
Now now, not later, not at all.

Don't hold back the words you really mean.

This is excellent, the title brought me in to see what it was all about and I wasn't disappointed.  I need all the encouragement I can get these days :P

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Reading it again pointed out how happy I am to have also read your signature on the bottom... really gives me things to think about at the moment in my life.  Thank you.
