"Without you I cannot confide in anything
The hope is pale designed in light of dreams you bring
Summer’s gone, the day is done soon comes the night
Biding time, leaving the line and out of sight"

Well this is a poem that many peaple must know of, but it is truely special to me and has such meaning, it is not only for religious people. It has a message that makes it universal and an inspiration all over the world. Here is a quick quote from it:-

Foot Prints by Mary Stevenson

"...when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints, ….”<br>"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you."

Full poem can be found at tcastle.com/footprints.html. I would love to hear other peoples veiws of the poem!

Okay, so I was going to post this yesterday, but was too busy having a mental breakdown to do so.

Artist: Russell Schmidt
Title: Rise Up
Album: None

"Through the darkness
Our hearts will not be broken
We honor all the fallen, innocent today
Peace and justice,
Can lift our eyes before our strength and spirits sing and chorus
Freedom will again see light of day"

This is in honor of September 11th.


Artist: Clay Walker
Title: The Chain of Love
Album: Live, Laugh, Love

"You don't owe me a thing,
I've been there too.
And someone once helped me out,
Just the way I'm helping you.
If you really wanna pay me back,
Here's what you do:
Don't let the chain of love end with you."

This song reminds me of the Pay it Forward plan, which makes it mean a lot to me.

This is from Franco Un-american by NOFX. I think that song highlights what is wrong with alot of governments all over the globe.

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radio-active sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!
