Well, Bro I will tell you:
Life for me is mostly a jungle adventure.
Full of swamps
And quick sand so deep
With beasts that snap and snarl.
But all the time
I have been wandering in and out
From the deep dark of the jungle
To the lights of happiness.
So do not lose yourself
Because the adventure is what makes everything worth wild.
Don’t you say I am going to sink
For I faced the same pool of sand
Moreover, I have found my way out.

The author's comments:
Many people say they cannot do something but they don't give it their all and seem to stop half way. Only if the world stopped counting what they cannot do and started to highlight what they could do, imagine then how much more accomplished and brighter the world would be, and how much higher their self esteam would be. that is a world I would truely enjoy living in, wouldn't you too?

Hey Bridie!

This is my favorite by far. Sis is wise beyond her years and the depth of the love she has for Bro is screamingly apparent! Bravo Bridie Bravo
