I'm still here. . .

I been scarred and battered

my hopes the wind done scattered

Snow has friz me
Sun has baked me,

Looks like between 'em they done
Tried to make me
Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--

But I don't care!
I'm still here!

Langston Hughes

Thanks Mykee Fowlin, for letting me know once again, what's important and what really matters. If you ever have a chance to see one of his shows, don't pass it up.
