“And winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face
a dream of Spring.”

The Voice Within
sung by Christina Aguilera
Young girl, don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it’s all right
Your tears will dry, you’ll soon be free to fly
When you’re safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing’s harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Young girl, don’t hide
You’ll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you’re gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It’s so hard to stand your ground when you’re so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you’re lost outside look inside to your soul
When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Yeah…
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you’re learning
You’ll find all you’ll ever need to know
You’ll make it
You’ll make it
Just don’t go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I’m talking to you
When there’s no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you’ll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within
Young girl don’t cry
I’ll be right here when your world starts to fall
Comics.
It’s on The Teen’s list of things they want to do, read comics.
We used to buy the Star Trek comics. Occasionally I would buy something else.
We would get some others from the library. We found some kid’s comics at one library. That was great. We’ve bought some used and that is always nice to find a great deal.
One that I got from the library recently was great, Homecoming by Patricia Briggs, based on the Mercy Thompson book series. The art was great in it. I found some magna on Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunters books. We haven’t read them yet.
