Arrogance, a sad word holding no purpose in this meaningless world, since we
Revolve upon the commands of some power against which we cannot dare
Rebel, for so subtle and impalpable it is, so divinely mighty, readily
Outpassing our will, denying us of our right to choose for ourselves,
Gorging us with torments, to have us submit to it while we become tragic
Actors and actresses, all dutifully playing out roles in our own
Nether, blindly believing ourselves to be the center of everything that exists, but, if we
Cared to adorn ourselves, with the spiritual commands of this same power, those which
Enunciate of how fickle and short life is, why, our passage on this Earth would be blissful!

L OVE is what I saw from
the moment you gave birth and
I lay my eyes on you
S upport is what I felt whenever
I fell down on life's path..only to
be picked up, wiped off, & sent
back on my way
C ared for because you showed me
how to be self sufficient and rise
to life's challenges..as you cheered
me on
N eeded..because I always had a true
friend when no one else could be counted
on..I could always count on you
A nd Now..you have ENTRUSTED
in me to guide my sister in the same
motherly way..And I won't let
you down...be good in heaven
