BONNE ANNEE!
Happy New Year!
***
Since childhood,
I have had a favorite poem.
It was recited to my 5th grade class,
Yes, by me....
it was then when I knew that life
beyond the garden
was important to my heart.
***
FOREIGN LANDS
UP into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad on foreign lands.
*
I saw the next-door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,
And many pleasant faces more
That I had never seen before.
*
I saw the dimpling river pass
And be the sky’s blue looking-glass;
The dusty roads go up and down
With people tramping in to town.
*
If I could find a higher tree
Farther and farther I should see,
To where the grown-up river slips
Into the sea among the ships,
*
To where the roads on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land,
Where all the children dine at five,
And all the playthings come alive.
***
***
I would like to be a stamp on a letter....
imagine his journey....
May the new year be filled with
all of your wishes coming true.
love you,
Me
