Wish Upon A Hero

Wish Upon A Hero

My dear friend Carla introduced me to this site almost a year ago. I checked it out but never thought that I'll be wishing upon a hero someday. This is a wonderful site. You can either make a wish or grant a wish. I joined to ask for help with the fundraising for the liver transplant of Baby Bien. It's just great that some wishes of other people are really simple that I can also make them come true.

 Woman must not accept; 

 

 she must challenge.

 She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her;

she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.

Rue's Lullaby

Rue's Lullaby

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise

Here it’s safe, and here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet–
–and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it’s morning, they’ll wash away

Here it’s safe, and here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet–
– and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Katniss Everdeen. The Hunger Games.
