			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p align="center"><strong>The road of life is long and hard<br />
But friends that stay are life&#8217;s rewards.<br />
Problems may hold you back for now<br />
Don&#8217;t ask why, don&#8217;t ask how,<br />
It&#8217;s there for a reason, it&#8217;s there because of us.<br />
It may not be clear for now. Be patient and you&#8217;ll last.<br />
As you go down life&#8217;s pathways<br />
Don&#8217;t forget to treasure each and everyday.<br />
To give and receive love from unexpected sources,<br />
That&#8217;s just one of life&#8217;s various courses.<br />
For life is an endless learning process.<br />
&#8220;You win some, you lose some,&#8221; is not always what it is.<br />
Life is not a gamble, to say the least.<br />
It is a choice. Yes, life is what we make it.<br />
Don&#8217;t pattern your life according to other people&#8217;s beliefs<br />
Its got to be your choice, your voice. Only then will you find relief.<br />
Learn to listen to what your heart is saying,<br />
Try to dance to the music that your soul is playing.<br />
Live. Laugh. Cry. Reach out. Play. Dance.<br />
Tomorrow you may be dead but never regret.</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Vanquish the heart once trusted, frail is the hand of faith! Still the blood overflowing, streaming river of one’s life. Bequeath not to hands idle and lame, death to those who fail to see. Strength of will to kindred hearts, being alone is not akin to loneliness. &#160;]]></description>
