“Love is never any better than the lover.”
― Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye

“Leave a trail of light behind you
Everywhere you go.
Whose darkness you'll illuminate
You may never know.”
― L.R. Knost

“Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.”
― Jane Austen

“I hope you gaze at cloud art galleries
against azure summer skies
and pause to gasp at rainbows
and watch butterflies fly by;
I hope wildflowers make you happy
and sad songs make you cry
and old books stacked in dusty nooks
are gems you can't pass by;
I hope burnt toast mornings
are little things
you handle with a smile
and midnight talks and starlit walks
keep you up once in awhile;
I hope laundry warm from the dryer
brings a sigh of contentment
and front porch swings on cool evenings
offer rest when you are spent;
I hope your life is light in sorrow
and heavy with laughter
and you greet each season of your life
like a new favorite chapter;
I hope you honor every soul you meet
and always go that extra mile
and when you think of me, my love,
I hope it's with a smile.”
― L.R. Knost
