I will come back as a little breeze. You will feel me on your face, and you will know that I am still listening. So you can still talk to me.

I remove my wedding rings and put them in the jewelry box. So many others have done this. I am not the only one. I am not the only one. But here, I am the only one.

You are always in my thoughts. When you were little, I knew your whereabouts at any given moment. Now that you are...off on your own, I still always know where you are, because I keep you in my heart.

There is incredible value in being of service to others. I think if many of the people in therapy offices were dragged out to put their finger in a dike, take up their place in a working line, they would be relieved of terrible burdens.

It is never about how good your voice is it is only about feeling the urge to sing, and then having the courage to do it with the voice you are given.
