Favorite Quote:
You've got to be able to laugh at the Gadsden Purchase. It's what life's all about.


I smile when I picture your face,
laughing at a joke,
talking with your friends,
reading a book,
acing a test

I smile when you are here,
walking, running,
alive and well
having fun

I smile most when we are together,
when I cry or laugh
talk or sit in companionable silence,
when I can be myself.
