The Book that Teaches a Lesson

Hello Internet Blog, I have Bad new my Mothers friend had Cancer and went to be with the Lord on Saturday. It was hard to see her die. I cried for days. But then I remember what she told me. "If you read Romeo and Juliet you will find that love is worth dying for!" I lived by those word my whole life even more so know. I remember trying out for Romeo and Juliet the play when I was 7. I didn't get it I got spear carrier. But that isn't the point in all the sadness she thought me to be greatful for thing I have in my life. So I can't hear but someday I might be able to. Let me read you a bit of Romeo and Juliet.

"Romeo:

If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Juliet:

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,

Which mannerly devotion shows in this;

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,

And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

Romeo:

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

Juliet:

Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Romeo:

O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;

They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Juliet:

Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

Romeo:

Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.

Juliet:

Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

Romeo:

Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!

Give me my sin again.

Juliet:

You kiss by the book."

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;

Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night..."

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"O, here"

Will I set up my everlasting rest,

And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars

From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!

Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you

The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss

A dateless bargain to engrossing death!"

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"A glooming peace this morning with it brings;

The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:

Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;

Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:

For never was a story of more woe

Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,

That I shall say good night till it be morrow."

― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

So let this remind all of us in the name of Linda my Mother friend. That love is worth fighting for.
