- Ragged Old Flag - Pt.3
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg and the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag. On Flanders Field in World War One. She got a big hole from a Bertha gun. She turned blood red in World War Two, she hung limp and low a time or two. She was in Korea and Vietnam. She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam. She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam and now they've about quit waving her here back at home.

- Ragged Old Flag - Pt.2
You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when Washington took it across the Delaware. And it got powder burned the night Francis Scott-Key sat watching it writing say can you see. And it got a bad rip in New Orleans With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams. And it almost fell at the Alamo beside the Texas flag, but she waved on though. She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.

- Ragged Old Flag - Pt.1
I walked through a county courthouse square, on a park bench an old man was sitting there. I said, your old courthouse is kinda run down. He said, naw, it'll do for our little town. I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit and that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it. He said have a seat and I sat down, Is this the first time you've been to our little town? I said I think it is. He said, I don't like to brag but we're kind of proud of that ragged old flag.

- Forgiveness
I forgive you. I forgive you for everything. But not because of who you are, but because of who God is. Not because you deserve it. Not because you need it or want it. Not any of that. But because God continues to forgive me for everything. Maybe you'll love me with all you have or maybe you'll hate me for the rest of my life. But know this: forgiveness does not mean we will be friends but I can assure you it means we will not be enemies.

- The Secret
We have a secret, just we three, the robin, and I, and the sweet cherry-tree. The bird told the tree, and the tree told me, and nobody knows it but just us three. But of course, the robin knows it best, because she built the - I shan't tell the rest. And laid four little - something in it. I'm afraid I shall tell it every minute. But if the tree and the robin don't peep, I'll try my best the secret to keep. Though I know when the little birds fly about then the whole secret will be out.

- Dust If You Must pt.1
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter. Bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need. Dust if you must, but there's not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read. Friends to cherish and life to lead.

- Dust If You Must Pt. 2
Dust if you must, but the world's out there, with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair. A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself, will make more dust.

- Connection pt.2
Remember - it is okay to be emotional, to seek help, to confidently tell someone you enjoy being around that you are infatuated with them. There is nothing wrong with vulnerability, with being human, for that is what creates depth within our relationships, and that is what ultimately unifies us.

- Connection
In a world that seeks connection, we oddly avoid eye contact, we time our text response in order to protect ourselves from seeming too eager or too interested. We hold our feelings back because we don't want to seem overly emotional or unreasonable. We silence our instincts, and at the end of the day instead of feeling good about ourselves, we feel alone, we feel misunderstood.

- She survived
Every night her thoughts weighed heavily on her soul but every morning she would wake up and fight for another day. Every night she survived. Every day she woke up and decided to live.

- Sappy Quotes PT.2
I don't hate you. I never have. I just act like I do because it's easier than admitting that I miss you. I don't regret you but sometimes I wish I had walked away at the start and left things at hello. You didn't say goodbye and a part of me believes that means you're coming back. So young when the pain had begun, now forever afraid of being loved. The best way to not get your heart broken is to pretend you don't have one. Oh darling, he never really loved you.

- I am Intense
I don't know how to be anything other than intense. I don't know how to experience without feeling too much or thinking too much. I don't know how to quiet my mind and just be still. I am always searching, always questioning, always looking for the purpose in everything. I am passionate and I am deep, and even if I am misunderstood, I am finally okay with that.

- Someone you loved.
We all have someone that we never speak of. Someone who meant so much, that even hearing their name makes your soul tremble with memories and pain. Someone who makes your heart break a little more each time you accidentally think of the color of their eyes.

Loving him wasn't a mistake, but thinking that he loved me was. Of all the lies I've heard before "I love you" was my favorite. The best way to not get your heart broken is to pretend you don't have one. Don't cry because it's over, smile because his new girl looks like a horse. I think about him but he thinks about her. How do you get over someone who was never yours? Who do you blame when you broke your own heart?

- Happy Birthday To You! Pt.1
If we didn't have birthdays, you wouldn't be you. If you'd never been born, well then what would you do? If you'd never been born, well then what would you be? You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree! You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes! You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes.
