Spreading Sunshine




    Think about this...

   Sunlight contains the full spectrum of visible light, but each wavelength is superimposed to make it look white.  In order to see the different beautiful colors, such as blue and green, the light has to be reflected off of something.  More energy absorbent materials will reflect different colors than less absorbent materials.

   Sure, we could just stand in life and soak up the Sunshine, but why not reflect some of it and add some color to someone's life?  Be happy!  Smile!  :)

Poems



Moving Mountains

With sweat bearing down from the leather of my face,
Spears of wind thrown for my courage to erase,
Icy shards of water crashing on my skin,
Flashes of lightning bolts sent to wear me thin,
My sore, coarse hands are put against granite,
Set on removing mountains from this planet.
With tireless vigor my muscles are strained,
But after the push, the mountain still remained.
Once again my trembling fingers feel the rock,
But I wonder why you look at me and mock.
Is it because you deem it impossible,
Or that it is entirely implausible?
Can't you see that this is my life, a hard life:
A life full of solitude, hardship, and strife?
But I choose this because nobody else will;
I shall be the first to explore past this hill!
These mountains are certainly impassible,
There's one way to make a road compatible.
Forever I shall be pushing 'gainst these stones
And discovering a world full of unknowns.
You laugh and say I can't remove this mountain?
Just watch as I remove this stony curtain.
This is not my first, take a look behind me;
Where you built your house, a mountain used to be.
