A Quote by Aaron Neville

I'm here now because of my faith. That's what got me singing and what has kept me singing. That is what I have: what has kept me doing right and has provided me with the chances and the attitude and the skills to do this.

We are lost, she and I, unseen and not seeing; unheard and not hearing, unknown by others.
