Youth day.
June 16 1976
June 16 is a South African Public Holiday. It commemorates the start of the Soweto Riots of 1976.
Youth day could be remembered as a conflict-ridden date, but instead it reminds us just how valuable our youth is. And just how precious our lives are.
The night before youth day i celebrated at my church with many other young students. We shared great laughs and made new friendships. Then we were asked how we'd spend our youth day and challenged to somehow celebrate the day in a meaningful way.
- The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.
16 June 2011 was a tragic day. We were all striken with utter shock and disbelief when we had heard that a great friend to many, a beautiful ambitious 18 year old girl, was killed in a motor accident.
She was a few days away from traveling overseas to dance in Italy.
She had so much amazing potential. Its impossible to believe.
''Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.''
That was one of her favorite quotes.
My heart goes out to the Moore Family.
You are in my prayers.
Keep dancing Courtney.
Your beautiful.
Hear you me: Jimmy eat world
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
