An Influence we Don't even Notice

Music, we hear it everyday but often pay no attention. It plays when you're shopping, in your car, when someone calls you on your cell, in the background of any tv show or movie, and some of our most advanced technology is used to hold music. Music is in many ways another language, one that speaks to us in ways that are unexplainable. The best is created when our emotion is strongest.It comes from your soul when your heart is breaking, tears are streaming, laughter is flowing, and questions torment the heart and mind. Passion, frustration, and relief rush through the body as new pieces of music are created. It is no wonder that, when so much work is put into a brief but memorable thing that that creation is able to influence so many areas of our lives. We as listeners are able to feel the true meaning of music when it passes the mind and pierces the soul. Without us even realizing it, music can influence the mood in a room, cause a change in attitude, or create an entirely new situation. I'm not gonna lie this makes things somewhat difficult because it is becoming harder and harder to find good music that isn't going to make you want to punch someone in the kidney. But this is possible, We just have to take a little time to do the little things.

On This Day I Left You

On this day I left you
don't forget how much
I loved you
don't forget the
memories,hugs
and laughter
don't forget
I won't forget you

What we shared
will always be special
I'll remember you forever,
I'll remember your smile
and passion for life
I'll remember
the best things about you

Know I only left you
cause I knew you'd
be okay
cause your so smart and stronger
than you know
and don't forget
that I knew
and know
I'll soon
see you again

As I go on without you
know
I won't forget you
I know
you want me happy
and know
I'll do my best.
I know sometimes
It feels like forever
and it's too far away
but I won't forget
this most precious thing
I'll soon
see you again

Though at times
the tears will flow
and I'll miss you
more than ever
I know
that I'll get through it
so I can see you again
I'll wait for
that moment
forever
You'll always be
my friend

Hope

Hope is never lost
but can always be found
hope is the force
that keeps us moving foreward
lets us know we can

it is a fire within
that can
drive us to tears
let us love
help us succede
try again
hold us together
and tear us apart

Hope can keep us
alive

sometimes feels like
it's let us down
but pulls us along
when we're out of breath

Hope exists
in every emotion
all aspects of life
every situation
anything and everything
we do

Hope is found
in those we love
a smile
a hug
laughter
a best friend

never forget
those who help you
bring hope back
who've touched your
life and brought you
back

Remember
what hope
can do
what you
can do
and what you
will do

Why is it always the best that leave us?

Why is it always the best that leave? the one's that get offered scholarships before they're 16, the one's that you never see frown, the ones that make you feel as though they are you're best friend, the ones that live life to the fullest, the ones that love all things and live with passion and hope in everything good, the ones that you will miss the most, the ones that could and would have done so much with their future, the ones that have touched your life so greatly that you didn't even realize it till they were gone.

I recently lost an amazing friend. Meg Pysnak was one of the smartest most amazing friends I have ever had. It's amazing how one moment she was there talking to me and the very next day she was gone. We had made plans to hang out soon and do crazy funny things, she always gave me the best hugs, hugs that I won't forget. I will always admire how she was never sad about anything, worked for the success and happiness she will always deserve. she was a girl who loved everyone, and touched each person she met. I will always call her one of my best friends. We never did hang out but whenever i was with her she always made my day. It was impossible not to love Meg. I will never forget her infectious smile, and the way she was always laughing. I can only hope to achieve as much as she did and hope to have the same amazing attitude she always had.

I wonder how so much greatness can be packed into a girl who only just turned 15. How can someone that amazing can be taken away from so many that love them, even if it's only for a little while. I think there are reasons, I just don't know or understand yet. but i'm not gonna lie those reasons better be some dang good reasons. One thing is certain we won't have to worry about those we lose and deffinitely not amazing Meg. We always said she would be the one to discover the cure for cancer and say it was no big deal. I'm sure she would have achieved great things here on earth but I know that she will now acheive even greater things as she spends her days bouncing on clouds and flying with angel wings and continuing to touch our lives and others in all that we remember about her.

Those we lose we will always remember and hold close to us. I will never forget Meg and can't wait to see her again.
