Love to Love


i love to run

and meet the sun


i love to swim

in grass so green


i love to love

the skies above


and fly so high

just like a dove


i guess i love to love

Any Fancier Gift


My friend asked me today what I would give myself this Christmas. I feel so blessed this year I'm not actually buying anything super fancy this Christmas (okay, if I had the money I'd go to France in a heartbeat!). Anyway, I'm thankful for the special, priceless everyday things. I created this poem tonight while I thought of the incident.


The air that I breathe

The food that I eat

I guess I don't need

Any fancier gift


The hope I've received

The child that has lived

I don't really need

Any fancier gift


How about you? What are you gonna buy yourself this Christmas?
