Sometimes Poems Don't Have Words

Sometimes poems don't have words,
and a phrase can be understood in a beautiful landscape.
Maybe it's a wave in an ocean,
or Perhaps the song of a bird.

Sometimes the swelling of a song,
That gentle and sweet breeze of sound
Can tell you more in a moment without words
Than a thousand dictionaries in the world ever could.

Sometimes a simple smile. A friendly hug.
A touch, a wave, a moment of laughter.
All exchanges. All magical. All poems in their own.
None requiring words.

Sometimes poems are recognized for their length,
Or perhaps the Honor of those who write them.
Some are known for their rhythm or rhyme,
Or the intricate stories the author weaves in them.

Sometimes a poem is as simple as a person
Pleading for someone to stay, to live,
And to hear that tender reply,
"I have."

Sometimes poems don't have words.
This one does,
So you can hear what you may not see.

"Your life is an occasion. Rise to it."

Love, Me.

And..then..there was..a title...!!!

You know when you kinda-sorta want to blog, and things have been happening since the last time you did (and even before that), but you don't really know what to talk about, so you just get on here and type whatever typical nonesense you want to?

Yeah, that'd be about now.

Mmm. Roses are blooming, there's some on my desk in a vase. :) My older sister is in Ireland and will tour Europe ("Ear-up" as my little sister would say) for the next six weeks. Lucky. ;) The Gospel is True, the sun still shines, the wind still blows, and somehow we manage to move happily on with each day of our lives.  Well, I try to be happy, anyway. I suggest you try it- it's more fun that way. ;)

Oh!!! I remembered!!! I had a wonderfully happy email this week...three scholarships to BYU!!! 1/2, 1/2 and a grant. THAT made my day. :) Many happy dances and thank-you prayers going around and around here.

I'm going to start painting my room this week, I hope. I'm thinking a mural...I'll post pictures if it works. :)

So yeah, that's life. Basically. Teaching lots...smiling lots...going to the Temple lots...yeah. :)

Oh, yeah. Happy first day of Summer.

Love, Me.

Hey it's June.

I got my tonsils out last week.  And my turbinates trimmed.  And so guess what?? I CAN NOW BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE!!!!! :) It's been about 5 years since I've been able to do that, and it's amazing! I love it!!

It's now day 9, and my pain has gone down quite a bit, thankfully.  I'm still on pain meds every four hours, but the dose is lower, thankfully.  So, I'm still sleepy and dizzy a lot, but at least I can do things.  Like eat real food.  I've had more mid-night snacks in this past week than I have in a long time, haha.  My left side of my throat is more open than my right side, I'm not sure if I'm having an OCD moment over that or not. But oh well.  Ps. I'm "doing better", not "all the way better".  So my comments here may be a little out of order.

But anyways, life for the past week has been mostly eat, sleep, medicine, watch movies, repeat.  Not a bad life. I think I've seen half of Disney/Pixar's animated movies, again. Those ones are cute, but don't make you laugh too hard, usually.  Laughing still hurts. :P  But I'm waaaay super excited that I'm finally doing something for summer vacation- Zoe Taylor and I are hanging out tonight!!  It's the BYU Spring Chorale's concert in the HFAC...good luck, John!!  I was in University Chorale last Fall.  It was fun.  I sang.

(But what else would you expect?) ;)

Anyhow.  It's June, everyone!! My birthday is in a month and a day.  What should I get for my birthday?  Maybe I'll paint my walls, that would be fun.  It sounds fun to me.  After spending so much time in my room, looking at my blank walls, I think it's time for something in there.

Have you ever seen Kid History?? Look it up on youtube!! Here, I'll post the first one.  They're hilarious, I love them. :)  Watch them. :)

Anyhow, have a good day. :)

Love, Me.
