the more love you feel ~ the more your heart will ache

Oh, you´re such a pretty thing
I´ll take you and I´ll make you
All mine
I would steal you
From this patient world
Let it chase us

i believe in love

Give me something that I can believe and then I'll
Share it with the world for everyone to see
Take away the darkness, all the pain and sadness
I know it's you that put this light inside of me

I believe in a hope that carries on
I believe in these things and more
Most of all, most of all
I believe in love

Happy birthday Bethany!

As you have known all your life, all I ever wanted in life was children.  You are more than a mother's dream fulfilled.  Being a mother is a joy that never ends and having you as my daughter was the beginning of the most beautiful reality.  I am so very proud of you honey... so very proud.

You love with all your heart, fight with all your might, and give with all your soul.  You see cruelty and call it.  You see hate and despise it.  You see injustice and fight for those who have no voice left to fight for themselves.
