Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

Walk alone, past the stone.

Find a friend, past the bend.
Run away, to go play

Hide and seek, near the creek.
Chase the girl, in a whirl.

Come undone, in the sun.
Hold her hand, understand.
Leave the wood, like you should.

Skip home, past the stone.


In the silence of the trees, what’s done is done.
