Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.
Gather up In the arms of your love—Those who expect No love from above.
Langston Hughes7 x 7 + love = An amount Infinitely above: 7 x 7 - love.

Langston HughesMost musicians remain poor. But the music that they make, even if it does not bring them millions, gives millions of people happiness.
Langston HughesI've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
