"Yet if hope has flown away, In a night or in a day, In a vision or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream. . ." ~Edgar Allan Poe.

Here, I’m wanted.

Here, I’m needed.

Here, I’m accepted.

Here, I’m liked.

Here, I’m challenged.

Here, I’m entertained.

Here, I’m useful.

Here, I’m learning.

Here, I’m appreciated.

Here, I’m trusted.

Here, I’m loved.

Here is where you are.

Is it a wonder why I stay?
