Life beats down and crushes the soul but art reminds you that you have one. -Stella Adler<br /> He who lives upon hope will die fasting.<br /> -Benjamin Franklin<br /> If you&#039;re absent during my struggle. Don&#039;t expect to be present during my success.


I didn't know I could miss someone I've never met
but today has proved me wrong.
The stories about your life that are told
are like an unforgettable song.

Your praises are preached
from the hearts you've reached
it seems you've been gone for so long.
To share your name
is a blessing I acclaim
and shows me you've been here all along.
