  Love Forever I breathe the same air that you do, I see the same stars that you do, I touch the same trees that you do, I share my home, the earth with you.

Yet, when we leave the earth, Your dust and mine will leave it together, They will intermingle like milk and honey, And remain so forever! S . Padmapriya
