Friends

My friends make me want to be a better person. They help me see things in different lights and they are there for me when i'm having such a bad day that i can't hide it, or deal with it myself the way i usually do. My friends make me so happy when i see their faces in the morning. It's like coming up for a breath of fresh air. I love the people i talk to, and even some of the people i don't talk to or don't talk to as much anymore for one reason or another. I think that every encounter, every friend, is there for a reason. Every day that we spend with a person we like is a gift. Every honest moment we have with someone, like playing in snow at wave hill, swinging in trees, riding tireswings, laughing, playing soccer, all are gifts. Enjoy them.

Comment:

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania.

The Searched Soul:

When I consider, pro and con, What things my love is built upon -- A curly mouth; a sinewed wrist; A questioning brow; a pretty twist Of words as old and tried as sin; A pointed ear; a cloven chin; Long, tapered limbs; and slanted eyes Not cold nor kind nor darkly wise -- When so I ponder, here apart, What shallow boons suffice my heart, What dust-bound trivia capture me, I marvel at my normalcy.
