"My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer."
It’s so strange the way that people come and go in our lives. Some people never really come, we’re born into a family and have a group of people around us who we can’t seem to get rid of. Some come almost out of nowhere and never leave, faithful friends who stay by us for [...]
