&quot;I love you with all my butt, I would say heart, but my butt is bigger.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Worrying won&#039;t stop the bad stuff from happening; it just keeps you from enjoying the good.&quot;


I shine on the sea
With silver sparkles in diamonds.
I illuminate the vast waters
Green and blue patches
And I am called beacons.
During the night
When the sky goes dark
The light turns on
And guides the way
Signaling the ships
With its beams of luminosity
I am a lighthouse
With a rotating flash
And lighting the way
For ships to pass.
