Roots of the Dream

An ode to friendship. An ode to believing.
A song and a whisper of love never receding.
Capture your heart with a butterfly net,
And build us a world we will never forget.
Two became one, and now what a sweet face,
And more memories than a million lives could replace.
Music and laughter, and a view of the lake.
Oh and I love Delilah, make no mistake.
The oceans are wide but with you by my side,
I am free in this world with nothing to hide.

you said "you can not change me" no one can change another, but my question is do you rebuke or deny someone who has your best interests at heart to have a more fruitful life? my second question is, do you give that advice to others to not take advice for change? do you find that damaging to encourage others to not listen to sound advice?

I wanted to respond to your quiet resque poem on the front but it does not have a comment area..I want to know why you think people can not be destined to help you change your course for the better, do you deny this? I want to know if you deny people coming into your life to steer your path in a much better way? I mean look at the homeless who end up in shelter, they come out with jobs, off of drugs, and a place to live, do you deny they helped them change for the better?
