Letting Go.
This boy, complicated.
His world crumbling around him
His world but a shell.
I hold his face up in my hands.
His voice quivers,
he mustered some courage for her.
We’ll walk hand in hand he said,
We’ll face this world together.
His words don’t match his actions,
he left this girl wondering.
Her tears sometimes fall.
He wipes them up but they still flow
This girl, complicated.
Should she let him go?
Leaving. Left. Gone.

A group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners are volunteering to tackle the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima power station. The Skilled Veterans Corps, as they call themselves, is made up of retired engineers and other professionals, all over the age of 60. They say they should be facing the dangers of radiation, not the young. It was while watching the television news that Yasuteru Yamada decided it was time for his generation to stand up. No longer could he be just an observer of the struggle to stabilise the Fukushima nuclear plant. The retired engineer is reporting back for duty at the age of 72, and he is organising a team of pensioners to go with him. For weeks now Mr Yamada has been getting back in touch with old friends, sending out e-mails and even messages on Twitter. Volunteering to take the place of younger workers at the power station is not brave, Mr Yamada says, but logical.

“I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15 years left to live,” he says.
“Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of getting cancer.”
…
“We are not kamikaze. The kamikaze were something strange, no risk management there. They were going to die. But we are going to come back. We have to work but never die.”

Sweet lips, Sugary coated words injected with poison.
Trust not, Want not. Love not.
Young love, Young love. Fall to pieces.
He won’t realise what he’s lost till its finally gone.
Is Gone, Is Gone, Gone forever.
Sweet dreams, my beloved.
My last kiss would last forever.
Hauntingly, tauntingly, your lips will never meet mine.
Desperation so thick in the air.
You can try but you’ll never find.
Love so frivolous.
The memories, they seep in.
The time you held my hand,
The time you held me near.
A heart now lost, a love that was dear.
The things you told me I felt was real,
looking back now it was all that I feared.
The lies, the sacrifice, the price was paid.
Never give in, never get laid.
You’ve moved on now, So you say.
You try to steal youth away,
Hearts held out to open flame.
Loving so frivolously, like you have.
The signs were all so clear.
You’re no Saint, you continue to steal
They say that time can only heal.
Love once found, Love now lost.
You’ve moved on now, you’ve found another.
Love so frivolous only you are capable.
That bad taste so unpalatable.
Her youth, I fear forsaken.
Innocence would be taken.
So they say, come what may.
For my heart will never sway, it will never sway.
Love so Frivolous.
One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s Secret Service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant,” to which Michelle responded, “No. If I had married him, he would now be the President.”

A father picking up his infant child kissing him and loving him. He swung him around and gave him a big kiss on his son’s chubby rosey cheeks whilst smiling to himself. If you could see love, that would probably be it. I couldn’t help smiling to myself either because it was so beautiful and I wished that love upon my own family in the future. I want my husband to be that loving figure to my children and for my family to love God. Amen.
