I carry your heart with me

I love this poem.  Like, a lot.  It's been running through my head the last few days.

by E. E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                                                      i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Grandma

A poem I wrote to my Grandma for her 70th birthday - The other grandkids and I were able to share it with her today :)


We often wonder how we got so lucky

To have this amazing grandmother in our lives.

She is constantly warm and wise and wonderful.

We are grateful that she is always there for us,

And she never thinks to say no

When we need her help to make an awesome costume

Or when we want her support for something at school.

We appreciate all the things she says    

That leave us in a state of giggles and sore sides.

Whenever we come over she gives us all hugs,

And she makes enough food to feed a small army.

For all of us, her house has become a second home.

Sometimes we think she’s a little bit crazy

Or that she’s completely lost her marbles.

But we know she loves us unconditionally,

And that’s why we will always love her so much. 

You've Got Mail

I got a package from Amazon today.  It's taken every bit of self control I have not to open it.  Why, you might ask?  I know exactly what's in it - it's this book.

I've been waiting for this book to be released for months, and then I had to wait another week for it to be mailed to me.  So why am I insisting on waiting to open my beloved package?

Because I have a huge test on Friday I need to be studying for, and I know the second I open that box to look at the book, I'm going to start reading it, and I won't be able to stop.  Darn you, stupid test and your horrible timing!  

Italian Music

Since I have been learning Italian, I've actually started listening to Italian music (which is AMAZING!).  This is one of my favorite groups to listen to.  I love their sound and their lyrics (well, what I can understand!).  Even if you can't understand it, it's still awesome.

Listening to music in another language is actually kind of fun!  Try it sometime :)
