Last minute

In the silence of the night,
I feel your touch,
I feel your presence,
An abundance in joy
Overwhelms my heart,
I recall before you left,
The secrets we shared,
The experiences we exchanged

In the silence of the night,
I feel your kiss,
I feel like you never left me,
I remember your sarcasim
and your heartfelt laughter;
for now you are gone,
Keep yourself safe
and remember to be strong
We will be laughing together
All over again.

Drawn with a sketchy but confident pencil line, and painted in the cle...

Why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy? The King asked the servant, "Why are you so happy?" The man replied, " Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies."

And what exactly is that?" the King inquired. The advisor replied, "...
