"I wish I am just a small bird that all it has to do is chirping and flying.."
"I wish I wasn't born in this era.."
"I wish I can stay a child all my life therefore my biggest worry would be my school books.."

Someday, when the moon is full
And I am crying on your grave..
Remembering all the moments, all the tears
That I tried so hard to make them roses..
Everything had gone far away..
So far away..
And I am here..
What is love? (children's point of view)

Children can answer better than most adults when it comes to love.
The question was "What is love"?

The answers they gave were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

A field of cotton
as if the moon
had flowered.

Falling Star

Two days ago, I saw an amazing falling star.. I didn't see one for more than 10 years since I live in a city..
May be it is childish to be happy for such an event, but I was very depressed and I felt that seeing this falling star is like telling me that everything in time; and everything will be fine ^_^
Then I thought about a wish..
Mark Twain Quotes

Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens) (1835-1910):

He is a great US humorist, novelist and short story author, wrote novels "Tom Sawyer" 1876, "Huckleberry Finn" 1884, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" 1889..



I like his quotes, and here are some of my favorites..

"The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up."

"Work like you don't need the money.Dance like no one is watching.And love like you've never been hurt."

"When in doubt tell the truth."

"Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it."

"Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it- and stop there; let's we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid.
