~* Believe And You Can Do Anything *~

Don't wait for your dreams to fly
Pretend to tie them to a string.
Then let the breeze lift them high,
If you just believe ~ you can do anything!

A tiny caterpillar sleeps
Within its spun cocoon
Dreaming of the day it is released,
To flutter its beauty in gardens of June.

A bluebird could never drift the sky,
If it had not spread its wings,
Now they fly to heaven’s doors
While we enjoy the song it sings.

You must pursue dreams relentlessly,
For time will never wait.
Time lost in yesterday is gone;
It is today that seals your fate.

Find your passion ~ dream your dreams,
Faith and determination are profound.
Perseverance becomes your wings,
Or practice lifts you off the ground.

To get to where you want in life,
Tie your dreams to a string,
Know nothing is ever out of reach,
Just believe ~ you can do anything!

.


~* Dedicated To Our Grads of 2003 *~

Like my sister told me so many years ago,
that it is you now more than ever who will ultimately create your own happiness.

Fabulous poetry, Mysteria~

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sharon, I truly believe this with all my heart, I graduated from high school last year and I was valedictorian and I put on a valedictory speech that even made the principal and many of my teachers cry and I cried reading it because I love all my teachers soooooo much and both joy and sweet sorrow were racing through my mind and then teachers gave me a hug saying they had one of the most giving hearts they ever knew! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, for this you deserve extra big angel hugs as I too wish all 2003 graduates congratulations, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story

This should be a Hallmark card given to all grads.  What a wonderful, inspiring piece.  Only you could write something like this!

Hugs,

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

You are all so very kind but it is that time of the year I think about those young adults graduating, and probably as scared as I was about my future (didn't even know what I wanted to be or my passion), but it came together and I had one successful career over the years.  Nowaday it is I who learn from the youth of today, for they are so much brighter in so many way.  

Thank you kindly once again for reading my ditty

Sharon, this is a wonderfully inspiration piece, not only for grads, but for those of us who have long since graduated and need a little reminder ourselves.

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit
