&ldquo;Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It&#039;s a way of understanding it.&rdquo; <br /> ― Lloyd Alexander


I respect…
People who are kind.
People that speak their mind.
People who stand up for what’s right.
People that don’t judge by sight.
People who see a need and fill it.
People that notice a hurt and try to heal it.
People who make the world a better place.
People that know there’s something more than just a pretty face.
People who admit their mistakes.
People that keep on trying when they can’t catch a break.
People who have nothing but still give.
I respect people who are really willing to live.

I vow to shine, like a sapphire, some gem!<br /> I promise, not to whine, but smile till the end.<br /> The symphony of my life<br /> like a violin I will play, <br /> I would vouch, <br /> Vehement to my life I lay.

'I respect people who are willing to live'. 
That was the best line in the whole piece. A beautiful set of lines and poetry. Great work. :)
