The words “I love you”
Is sung with passion
Just as “I hate you”
Is muttered under someone’s breath
A woman zips up her black dress with shaky hands
Hiding her tear stained eyes behind dark sunglasses
As another stands excitedly as her white dress is tied
Her shaky hands holding a beautiful bouquet
A mother stares at the grass that’s unbearably green
Under a sun that holds too much light
On a dark day while her first born is buried
While another mother coddles her crying infant
Staring into his eyes that are unbearably green
Under a sun that holds so many years of a future
A couple excitedly unlocks the red door to their first home
Admiring the new beginning that unfolds before them
A place to create a future together
While another couple grips on tight to each other’s arms
As they watch their first home disappear with fearful eyes
Devastated by the future that has been taken from them
Tragedy strikes in this lifetime
Just as miracles play
And the world continues to turn

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
