TEMPERED GRACE
one challenge, one heartbeat, one goal

Underneath This Smile
Underneath this smile
see my source of endless joy:
peace, kindness and love.
Nothing I will fear
believing in tomorrow,
to find a rainbow
stretching over that green hill...
to imagine what's beyond.
Show your sympathy,
share my happiness revealed
underneath this smile.

Partners
Ingenious partners no hesitation.
No loud protest, no obligation.
No decrepitation, no calcumination.
No spurious trouble, only festive occasions,
Generosity and probity, no tension.

To be recogonised...
Doesn't mean you are the best
