Do more than exist … live.
Do more than touch … feel.

Do more than think … reflect.
Do more than just talk … say something.

It can buy you a book but not knowledge.
It can buy you a position but not respect.
It can you medicine but not health.
It can buy you blood but not life.

I AM THANKFUL… FOR THE HUSBAND WHO COMPLAINS WHEN HIS DINNER IS NOT ON TIME BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME, NOT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES BECAUSE THAT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME AND NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE TAXES THAT I PAY, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I […]

If a child lives with shame, He learns to be guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, He learns to be patient.
If a […]

I never wanted to love.
I know its a subtle form of slavery.
But if I will be a slave to you,
Let me be a slave forever.
