I've always been a people watcher.  As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest?  It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life.  I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale.  Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience.  They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off.  They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it.  Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something.  It is a part of who you are .  It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you.  Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

What beautiful memories, as I look back. Tears stream my face; those of joy over fond memories And those of sadness to the end of all things. I wanted to be your queen, you to be my king, Putting love above everything. Sharing our joys, challenges, and triumphs Helping each other make it through. An unbeatable team, me and you. Loving you is what I wanted to do. Could you really love me too? But somehow we didn’t have enough We couldn’t make it last. I tried my best, I gave it my all But I must have not been strong enough to avoid the fall. Here I am heartbroken, terribly missing you. All alone I don’t know what to do Besides get through the pain And pray for brighter days again. I know they’ll come, but maybe I don’t Want to let go... just yet…. I miss you baby! I feel soooo incredibly blue. by Danielle Crume © 2011

Once upon a time We were close friends. Nothing could separate us. How beautiful that was. Now, time has passed And things have changed, As they always do. I'm sitting here, missin' you. My dear buddy, I'll always treasure that time When nothing at all Came between you and I. by Danielle Crume © 2010
