My guardian Angel

When I look back I bear in mind all the mistakes I made

Mistakes like thinking "I hope I don't end up like her"

and more importantly believing I was destined to become her

Today her life is as plentiful as any, if not more

And truth is, I would be blessed if my life turned out to be even a quarter of how good hers is

Sometimes people take for granted the smallest of things

Like the simplicity of smiling at the dinner table

Something that seems so natural

So today and for the rest of my life I will be thankful for the fact that God has blessed me with the greatest of family

The most unique

And to my guardian angel who heard my cries, thank you

I now realize the kind of life I want to lead

Something more spiritual, more refined

Being alone has never been so tranquil

It is just what I needed

Brawer family- Things will get better if they have not already ceased to

You're always in my thoughts and prayers

She has changed my life more than you know it

Artie- I made sure to stuff myself for the both of us yesterday

I'm sure our college essay will be liked, if not loved..

The Prayer

I remember a time when I hadn't had much to worry about

And usually the things that worried me even in the slightest manner were not my own worries

To an extent this frustrated me

I guess I thought having worries made your life exciting

I was so wrong for thinking this

At least now I see

Life cannot be measured in the way you spend your Friday nights, or how many friends you have, or even if you've experienced love

Life is not a measurable object, not a force to act upon

Whoever said there were no rules in life must have had it coming to them

There are rules when it comes down to anything, and so there has to be rules to living

I pray now that God forgive me in my time of need

For all the rules I did break

God had blessed me with intellect

And I refused to use it

For so many years God had steered me on the right path

But I chose to walk ahead

And so if this is God's way of letting me know that I have to listen

Well then I'm listening

I'm hoping He will listen too
