“Before my birth there was infinite time, and after my death, inexhaustible time.
I never thought of it before:
I'd been living luminously between two eternities of darkness.”

See! I will not forget you... I have carved you on the palm of my hand. My love is ever before you.

And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love Spirit cherishes for us. Spirit is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in Spirit, and Spirit dwells and continues in him.

In this (union and communion with Spirit), love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment (with assurance and boldness to face Spirit), because as Spirit is, so are we in this world.

THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE (dread does not exist), but full grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror. For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and so he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love (is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection).

We love Spirit, because Spirit first loved us.

In this the love of Spirit was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that Spirit sent His Son, the only begotten or unique (Son), into the world so that we might live through Him.

In this is love: not that we loved Spirit, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

Beloved, if Spirit loved us so (very much), we also ought to love one another.

Who shall ever separate us from Spirit’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?

For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of Spirit.

May Spirit through your faith actually dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts. May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all of the saints (Spirit’s devoted people, the experience of that love) what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it; (that you may really come) to know (practically, through experience for yourselves) the love of Spirit, which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience); that you may be filled (through all your being) unto all the fullness of Spirit (may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with Spirit.

Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for Spirit’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of My hands. My walls (my love) are ever before you.

And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

You cunt, I´m not a queer

I´ll state my case, of which I´m certain

I´ve lived a life that´s full

I've traveled each and every highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets, I´ve had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did, what I had to do

And saw it through with out exemption

I planned each chartered course

Each careful step along the highway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

There were times, I´m sure you knew

When there was fuck fuck fuck-all else to do

But through it all, when there was doubt

I shot it up or kicked it out

I faced the wall and the world

And did it my way

I've laughed and been a snide

I´ve had my fill, my share of losing

And now, the tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think, I killed a cat

And may I say, not in a gay way

Oh no, oh no not me

I did it my way

For what is a brat, what has he got

When he wears hats and he cannot

Say the things he truly feels

But only the words, of one who kneels

The record shows, I fucked a bloke

And did it my way

And now, the end is here

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I traveled each and ev'ry highway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way,

"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

' Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they've given us. '

Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret.
It's you or me amplified.
If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it.
If you ever wished you could be a child forever.
