Feathers in the Nest

I wandered lonely as a Cloud

That floats on high o'er Vales and Hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd

A host of dancing Daffodils;

Along the Lake, beneath the trees,

Ten thousand dancing in the breeze.
~~~~~William Woodsworth, 1804

LOVE

Our love is a perfect and natural thing,
A love that makes our hearts sing.
God put this love for one another in our hearts,
A love that will never keep us apart.

Though the distance between us is great,
Our love gives us the patience to wait.
God brought us together so we may share
A love so great and beyond compare.

Nobody can take our love away,
God will ensure together we stay.
Our love is a perfect and natural thing,
To us it makes the entire world sing.

Mr. Darcy's Heart

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. ~~ Jane Austen (Northanger Abbey)

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions ~~Augusten Burroughs

........We stretch our memories on frames,
Without exaggerated claims,
Knowing each proud biography
Embroiders our geography.
This warning, too, our needles know,
that as we reap, so shall we sew.
~~Con Connell

Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose joints and very shabby.



But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.



~~~The Velveteen Rabbit
