Fraility Thy Man.......

You came into my life
And throughout my life.
You keep slicing my heart
Right through my breast.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

My heart now shattered to pieces
It feels beyond repair.
How could you?
How could you be so unfair?

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

So here we are, after so many years
Together, but we're growing apart.
Desire with no end
Throbbing from my core.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

It's just like magic
When you live by yourself
all of your annoying habits
are gone

The most important thing
a father can do for his children
is to love their mother

Soul Gourmet 4.0

The more you invest in a marriage
The more valuable it becomes

Soul Gourmet 3.0

We are all seeking that special person
who is right for us

But if you have been through a relationship
You begin to suspect there's no right person
just different flavours of wrong

Why is this?

Because we ourselves are wrong in some way
and we seek out partners
who are wrong in some complementary way

We end up looking for the wrong person
but not just any wrong person
but the "right" wrong person

Someone you lovingly gaze upon and think
"This is the problem I want to have".

You have found yourself that special person
who is wrong for you in just the right way

Soul Gourmet 2.0

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you an opportunity to learn

Be thankful for the difficult times
During those times you grow

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons
when you're weary and tired
because it means you have made a difference

It's easy to be thankful for the good things

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those
who are also thankful for the setbacks

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.
