His Amazing Love

I met him for the first time when I was just a kid. However, I was too little to understand his love for me. Although I acknowledged his presence and realized what he has done for me, it wasn’t until I personally experienced his love for his children

Seize the Moment

There is no time like the present.  You never really know when an opportunity will present itself to you again, so why not seize the moment and take advantage of it the first time it comes around?  Oftentimes people will dismiss the chance to experie

Because I want to

     It's 2:00AM right now... I honestly do not know why I'm not asleep yet. In the background Tetra Splendour is filling my ears with their nonsensical lyrics... They sound like the distant wailing of happier days, and more meaningful nights. Why di

Opportunities passed are lost forever
