Toby Biography

Yesterday,
we were full of cheer
smiling, eyes bright,
we dashed ahead into the future.
...

Do not spare me from pain, so that I may become stronger.
Do not spare me from loneliness, so that I may be independent.
Do not spare me from sadness, so that I may appreciate happiness.
Do not spare me from harsh words, so that I may learn to speak kindly.
...

To see the world in her face,
Eternity in her gait.
Walk a million miles in one pace,
And say the universe in one phrase.
...

O, To live in a world that was simpler.
Where one’s only concern is today.
Where love is true and straight,
Where the word hate is unheard of.
...

I have an idea,
A little idea,
A tiny little idea,
Of what it is to be me.
