Wedding day
And get on with your life
All I can hope is that youre happy
cause today youre someone elses wife.
Right now I wish that I could turn back
And beg the hands of time
For the days that I remember
The days when you were mine
And if I never said I love you
Its cause the words got in the way
Now all I do is say Im sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
Ill bet you looked good at the altar
Ill bet he knew the words to say
And the angels smiled when you walked down the aisle
You both knelt down to pray
As he put his ring on your finger
I know theres just one thing left to say
All I can do is say Im sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
So sorry
You wont be walking through the door anymore
You wont be sleeping in this bed anymore
Tho I swear I see your shadow waltz accross my floor
And I dont know if I can take it
Should we ever meet again
Cause I know that well be strangers
When he introduces friends
I tried to make it to the church now baby
A broken heart got in the way
All I can do is tell you Im sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I really hope youre happy baby
Tho its killing me to say
All I can do is say Im sorry
Sorry I missed youre wedding day.....

I miss my family...
To My Family With Love
The love of this family can show the work of God
To prevail over our weakest of moments
To lend a hand or mend a broken heart.
To cry or laugh with one another shall always be
Embraced with open arms and a smiling face.
Times they are tough, but alone you will never be to have the love of this family it's as easy as One Two Three.
The joy of a birth, too watch a little life grow are memories to cherish that we will never let go
The pain of a death, the emptiness felt inside, the family is all here, no need to hide
Over the years our surroundings have changed Now God has blessed us with a little James.
May our daughters grow into little women they better all remember my sweet baby lemon.
To be so lucky to have a family like this when we all get to Heaven, God deserves a big kiss.
In our souls, minds, and hearts may this family never be torn apart
The love of this family has shown me the work of God to realize this gift for the world to see, how much my family cares for me
May our love grow and carry on even long after we are all gone
Thank you to my family for the love that you all show every good deed God will surely know.
To prevail over our weakest of moments
To lend a hand or mend a broken heart.
To cry or laugh with one another shall always be
Embraced with open arms and a smiling face.

I'd like to grow old with my face moving...!
Plastic Surgery Patients Getting Younger
This morning, I read a disturbing article at ABC News that stated teens-those under 18 years of age-were getting plastic surgery at an alarming rate these days. In fact, that the number of teens going under the knife has jumped considerably in the past few years:
...Between 2002 and 2003, the number of breast implants for girls younger than 18 nearly tripled, from 3,872 to 11,326 - from "Teen Trend: Breast Enhancement No Biggie" at ABC News...
Naturally, there are times that plastic surgery is needed for those under 18; there are valid medical reasons that a young person might require plastic surgery. This was the case withStephanie Kuleba who lost her life after suffering complications from anesthesia during breast augmentation surgery. Though only 18 years-old, Stephanie suffered from asymmetrical breasts and an inverted areola; conditions that caused her suffering from more than just self-esteem issues.
Stephanie's death has brought to light the new trend of young people getting plastic surgery for non-medical reasons. It's an idea that is so commonplace that many parents offer paid-for plastic surgery to their young daughters as birthday or graduation gifts
A Disturbing Trend
It's disturbing to think that our upcoming generation is so very quick to turn to the knife and undergo the risks of surgery to change their natural appearance. If this keeps up, the world will be over-populated with a sea of Barbie and Ken clones in the next fifty years; a mass of perfectly plastic people without any of the beautiful and unique characteristics that make us different and special.
I would like to see more corporations and media mavens focusing on positive self- and body-image rather than glorifying stick-thin and unhealthy celebs. The message we are sending out to our youth is "if you don't look like this, you aren't attractive - in fact, you're nobody".
Everyone remembers the awkward years of puberty and just beyond, and the agonizing over your looks and trying to fit in and be attractive. It's a difficult time for anyone - but how much more so must it be for today's young teens and adults who are faced with an ideal that is impossible for anyone to live up to. The people they look up to and want to emulate are almost not real - in movies and in glossy magazines they are polished and airbrushed to godlike perfection. In an attempt to look like these painted perfect people, young people are losing their own identities as they wallow in low self-esteem and-often-self-loathing.
How else can one explain the rise in not only plastic surgery among our youth, but in eating disorders, self-injury, and other harmful traits that show a severe and detrimental self-loathing. Young people today do not only have low self-esteem, many of them hate the bodies they were born into. They will actively and determinedly seek to starve, injure, or undergo the risks of surgery simply to "look" better so that they will "feel' better about themselves.
Yet when the bad body image is there to start with, all the dieting, plastic surgery, and new clothes in the world can't make someone feel better. It has to start inside.
Positive Change is Needed
Instead of giving these girl's plastic surgery as a gift, these parents should be encouraging their children to be proud of themselves and their unique traits - to love themselves just as they are. Telling them to go out and use surgery to fix whatever Nature has blessed (or even cursed) them with teaches them no coping skills and it is not an effective way to learn how to face challenges and acceptance of life's difficulties.
This rising trend disturbs me just as much as the continuing rise of self-harm and eating disorders in today's youth. Until the mass media makes a conscious decision to stop peddling plastic perfection and questionable role models like they do to our youth, nothing will change. Instead of giving these impressionable minds someone to focus on and worship, teach them to love themselves and see their own uniqueness as amazing. I want to tell them all, "Yes, Miley Cyrus is amazing -but so are you." Until they realize this, nothing will change.
One of my favourite poems....
A dream
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?
