    Put something silly in the world
    That ain't been there before.”

    Shel Silverstein
    “i made myself a snowball
    As perfect as can be.
    I thought I'd keep it as a pet,
    And let it sleep with me.
    I made it some pajamas
    And a pillow for it's head.
    Then last night it ran away,
    But first - It wet the bed.”

Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.”
