  • Our Creation

    ☼
    When looking up toward heaven, how far it seems to be; Truly, heaven is created inside ourselves, not a place only found once we meet eternity.

  • For when you lost someone

    ☼
    Our world is not the same without you,
    But heaven is better with you there.
    A part of us left the Earth that day,
    But part of you stayed with us here.
