"You are the trips I cannot take;
You are the pearls I cannot buy;
You are my blue Italian lake;
You are my piece of foreign sky.
You are my Honolulu moon;
You are the book I did not write;
You are my heart's unuttered tune;
You are a candle in my night."
-Anne Campbell
Allie, I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! I just got done catching up on it as I ate my breakfast, & I just have to say that you are SO fantastic! I loved the poem & am very likely going to steal it and do something wonderful on my walls or in a book with it, I loved your mommy insight about the stage of life we are in & how to appreciate it, & I loved the updates on our family. Thank you for capturing your thoughts & life & sharing it here, I really enjoy seeing your faces and being edified when I visit. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes. Don't you just love this poem? A few of my blogging friends have used it too. It just resonates in my heart. I have it memorized now and all through the day, when I'm cleaning and playing and working and lifting and wiping and singing and disciplining and mom-ing, these words are there, and I feel purposeful. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it to!
