I wish I had the answers
To all the questions in my head
All the mysteries unsolved
All the decisions that were wrong
Was it all worth it?
Would I do it all again?
I will find the answers
No matter what it takes
I know it will be worth it
So I guess that I can wait
No matter what the answers
When the darkness comes
Your love will be my light

Have courage and don’t stop struggling to obtain your goals. Don’t look for accolades from others. The only validation you need will come from inside. You know the obstacles you have faced and the setbacks you have endured better than anyone else. Those are the badges you have earned.
What will you write today?

The baristas at Go Dog Go Cafe are big fans of Pay It Forward Thursdays. We think it is a great opportunity to give a shout-out to another writer who has wowed us or creatively inspired us. However, Pay It Forward Thursday has not been getting a lot of love lately, which we think is a shame. Dear reader, you are losing out on some great writing! We’ve decided to shake things up a little and the baristas will be reblogging our Pay It Forward picks for the week directly onto GDG Cafe so you don’t miss out on our favorites.
We like this idea so much that we will also reblog the posts you think were the best thing you read this week if you drop a link below. You are invited to post one link to one specific post (600 words or less please!) from someone…

I remember the morning,
breakfast slow and quiet,
the radio seemed muted and grey,
and the muesli life chaff.
The conversation, a little one-sided,
was uninspiring,
but the day was light, and
work passed for something
to fill the day, with
photocopier conversations,
and ersatz morning tea.
Then home again
to the quiet,
which is fine for a while,
till I think of something to say,
something to share,
a knowing look,
a laugh,
or a tender touch.
I hate it when you’re away,
the days drag
and taste like chaff.

This is for the lovers
Walking hand in hand
For those who fell
But got back up again
For those who need help
But don’t know where to go
For the lonely ones
Who never seem to find love
And get let down time after time
For the dreamers and schemers
Who try and light our way
For the writers and poets
Who fill our books and minds
This is for you
We are always here for you
You are never alone

For all I’ve been blessed in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
With one honest touch you set me free
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love’s not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
For every mountain I have climbed
Every Raging river crossed
You were the treasure I longed to find
Without your love I would be lost
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love’s not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
