A tribute to my brother and his bride.

I don't normally write about this topic, for it scares me, and I don't like the idea of vulnerability... Here's a toast to those in love. A story rarely spoken by my lips, Is a story based around love, It's rare and far between. But here's to those who've found it, Although things tense up, and maybe can't square away all the time, yall have found the secret. To that I offer my glass. The secret is that look in yalls eyes. The unconquerable fire burning through the eyes, made from yalls souls buried deep within yalls hearts. Here's a toast to those who are willing to take that chance, Not knowing what the future holds and Not even caring. Something calculated measures can't calculate, a chance that couldn't be be greater. but you two, you two have each other. Tis is all that matters. Never stop dancing, never forget that fire, find ways to keep it alive and ever burning. Stay true to each other, here's to you two, the bride and the groom. My

Alternate Routes.

Could you take the long way, just to walk through times long past? Would you take a midnight drive, to just let your memories guide the wheel? Would you stop, late at night, to just look up at the stars and tear up at the vastness of it all? Does the moon bask you under its glittering glow? Do you stop and wonder why things are the way they are? Do you sparkle at night? Can you accept the bite of a cold winters night? Can you invent your own endings? Does music touch your soul? Do you walk in the lyrics then swim through its melodies? Do you see things beyond the surface? Do you let the warmth of a summer breeze sweep you away to a place where your dreams lie? Can you stand beside the ocean and let yourself get carried away in its currents? Do you feel small? Does the salt and dampness of the air invigorate you? Does the thoughts of endless possibilities stand your hair up? Can you invent a place where only you can go? Can you look at a picture and try to look at it as the artist does

a strong arm to lean on.

A single candle in the darkness, a piece of hope shining. A single light to show, that you're still there. The darkness might conquer, but it could never extinguish hope. And though one candle, or many, might flicker and die, new candles will be lit from the old. Thus Hope's flame always burns, lighting the darkness until the coming of the day. When the night comes, and darkness is all around. Light a candle, and remember that you're not alone. Light a spec that will stand out, as the light crumbles away. remember what you're doing here, and why you came. That flame will always burn, as long as you let it...

Up right smiles.

I think this song is very appropriate for all that you're going through, you are still loved by many, and those still by your side are there for good. you're never alone through this. :-) Please listen to it with the lyrics, it came as I was thinking through things. Thank you dear one, for being strong. You're a great example, and you will make it. Even as the storms may threaten to sink us, light up, and feel the love around you. God loves you as I do and the many around you. Smile, with that smile and carry on. "I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice t
