So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

Love after Love
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Plea
Good Lord,
Please don't let me get fuming mad right this very minute.
Please help me hold my tongue so I won't hurt anyone.
Please give me tons and tons and tons and tons of patience.
Please remind me that being nice and loving is not being stupid.
I know you are just and your ways are always for the best.
I may not completely understand the why's and how's but I know in Your sweet time, I will see my fruits.
Thank you for today, I know I am about to learn something new again.
Love,
K.

Save the Day
I reach and stretch too far to measure
And I break myself to keep together all the time
It's a struggle to be kind
In a world that seems so blind.

Last Lecture
Randolph Frederick "Randy" Pausch (October 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) was an American professor of computer science and human-computer interaction and design at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pausch learned that he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006, and in August 2007 he was given a terminal diagnosis: "3 to 6 months of good health left". He gave an upbeat lecture entitled "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon, which became a popular YouTube video and led to other media appearances. He then co-authored a book called The Last Lecture on the same theme, which became a New York Times best-seller. Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.

I remember...
I remember you staring at me
For awhile
When you nonchalantly
Asked me out for lunch.
I remember myself –
Quivered.
And how my heart beats fast,
I know not how to tame such beating.
I remember you calling me,
Late at night,
How you would sing me songs
Over the phone.
I remember myself –
Clinging so hard,
Not to get attached to someone
I did not initially want in my life.
I remember you bringing me,
To a place where I found
That I can take chances again –
When I can love like pain is not familiar to me.
I remember myself smiling
The moment you called me,
Your “Beb”.
When you became my “Hon”.
I remember us –
Fighting a good fight,
Your hands holding mine,
As if telling me, you will not let go.
I remember us –
When we argue like anything,
All those dramatic exchanges and scenes,
Who would’ve thought we could reach this far?
I remember us –
That after a horrible fight,
We managed to pick things up
And remained us – not me and you, but us.
I remember you –
In your cool and pleasant stance,
Telling me, like you always have –
That everything will be alright.
I remember myself –
Though hesitant,
Would still let go of that fear
And just simply trust.
I remember you –
Telling me that
I love you best.
That I am your female version.
I remember myself –
Praying and hoping,
That we always come out strong.
That this heart, will only trust you.
I remember you –
What with your very stubborn love
Made me see myself –
As someone who can be loved no matter how different she can be.
I remember myself –
Finally seeing me in my future.
Not alone but with a companion
She dearly loves – you.
