Dare to Believe

Dare to Believe By: Author Unknown

EVERYBODY KNOWS ...You can't be all things to all people.You can't do all things at once.You can't do all things equally well.You can't do all things better than everyone else.Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

SO ...You have to find out who you are, and be that.You have to decide what comes first, and do that.You have to discover your strengths, and use them.You have to learn not to compete with others,Because no one else is in the contest of "being you."

THEN ...You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.You will have learned to live with your limitations.You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due,And you'll be a most vital mortal.

DARE TO BELIEVE ...That you are a wonderful, unique person.That you are a once-in-all-history event.That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

Poem for Ricky Martin

You, my love, so true and dear, I have something to say, and want you to hear. I love you with all my heart, and I fell in love with you, I had no choice. When I am around you, simple things become more, Wings are made, which allow me to soar. I fly through the sky and above the moon, Feel up so high, and our hearts in tune. You are perfect, lovely, and true, I love you so much, you have not a clue. You’re perfect for me in every single way, My mind is on you each moment of the day. Your touch is like an angel’s skin, So soft and sweet, it pulls me in. Laying here on my bed , my body so relaxed, Listening to your music beating, feeling so blessed. The sound of your music, holds me tight, and never letting me depart, I want you so bad, I gave you my whole heart. Oh baby, without you, my soul is cold. Please don’t leave me, you are my air, You’re my reason for life, I love you, I swear. I want to be with you forever by your side, I want to be the one, that in me, you confide. I will spend every day, until my last breath, With you, until I’m stripped from life to death. I will always be your biggest fan, I will be cheering you on as much as I can. I will always be there, for you to talk to, Forever there, to help you through. Don’t ignore me, please don’t forget, Don’t leave me here, lying in a cold sweat. Baby, you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, Whenever I hear your music, it sets me free. Seeing you causes my heart to leap, Pulling me closer, pulling me in so deep. My love for you will last forever, You inspire me, my everlasting guide, I will do all in my power, to stay right by your side. Just remember this, and don’t forget, Time can be hard, and yet…When we both are sad and alone, When you feel a gust of wind, a kiss from me to you is blown. When I’m around you, I am in bliss, Sharing every moment, and every special kiss. I know a lot of guys, but with you, no one can compare, And with that said, bent on knee, I shall say a prayer. "Oh my dear and precious Lord, You put on this earth, a boy no one can afford. Never knew someone this great could ever be real, But I know about the love for him that I feel.He puts me up with you, in that place up there,He fixed my broken heart, I thought was beyond repair.He makes me feel so special, and makes me feel so great,He makes me nice to people, even ones I hate. Please don’t take him away, and leave me here, Without him now, I am nothing but a tear. He means more to me, then anyone would know, My love for him is like a constant river’s flow. Take care of my Ricky baby, watch over him please, I need him here, he puts me at ease. He’s my savior, my love, and friend,I want to be with him, till to heaven I ascend. Lord, you have never let me down before,I love him so, and now please don’t ignore…I’m saying thank you for sending me Ricky, And with this prayer now, I say amen."
