Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &lsquo;happy&rsquo;. They told me I didn&rsquo;t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn&rsquo;t understand life.&rdquo; <br /> ― John Lennon

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you,
But the roses are wilting,
And the violets are dead,
Laughs have been had,
And tears have been shed,
You still look so angelic,
As I lay and bled,
And soon like the violets,
I too shall be dead.
