You cannot write with unsharpened lead.
You cannot bask with nothing but shade.
You cannot think without your head.
You cannot fight with a blunt blade.

You cannot live with a broken mind.
You cannot play with a spirit sour.
You cannot grow with your mind behind.
You cannot spring with no flower.

You cannot win with a cold heart.
You cannot love with a soul too small.
You cannot end with first no start.
You cannot be with nothing at all.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
