People Say
People say,
you have to crawl
before you fly.
People say,
you have to dig deep
to find what you’re
looking for.

People say,
you have to show
a little emotion sometime
People say,
you have to put one step back
to put another forward.
People say,
to set out of your comfort zone.
People say,
home is where
our heart is.
People say,
these things to get
us ready for life.

&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
