faces of life

they follow one another. trudging through the trying times. silence flows between them. unsaid words are understood. the creases on their faces tell their own stories. and the lines on their hands show the hard work that got them this far. times were not always easy, but they always knew they had each other. strangers coming together, forming an incredible bond. making it through the dark nights and dreary days because they all had hope for better days, friends to make them smile and laugh, and kind words for one another. the power of coming together guided them to there dreams.

Sometimes things can be so great, so amazing, so wonderful
But then there is that little voice calling to me
Letting me know the truth, trying to push me to understand

All too often I push that voice away
Not wanting to face the reality
Not wanting to belive what I know in my heart to be true

I need to listen to my heart
Really listen to what it is saying
I need to tune into the song it is humming,
and start singing along

I tend to get caught up in the moment
Enjoying the here and now,
but what does that mean for the future?

What does my future hold?

I dare....

I dare you to be brave
To put yourself out there,
spread your wings and fly

I dare you to dream
To hope and pray for the
magic to unfold in your life

I dare you to wish upon stars
Smile at strangers and
Listen to those around you

I dare you to realize how beautiful
strong and brave
you truly are

I dare you
to embrace the life you have
and enjoy everything that is before you

I dare you to be yourself
Let yourself shine
and soak in the beauty of life

I dare you!

(what do you dare me to do?)
