How Are You Faring?

How are you faring

down by the bay?

With a heart that’s too heavy

and a mind that’s astray.


How are you faring

up by the nest?

With a voice clear and pure

and a figure of a bird.


How are you faring

on this cold winter night?

With an eye on the moon

and a face that’s pale blue.

How are you faring

on this sunny spring day?

With a head in the clouds

and eardrums that rebound.


How are you faring

o Mighty Seamen?

With a ship made of wood

and an imagination that is as it should.

Sometimes...I just like imagining I'm someone else. Some days I'm a princess of a faraway land, some days I'm a valiant knight who has gone to fight and conquer, and other days I'm a wanderer...an onlooker, a passerby, just watching...

10.<br /> I am a princess, all girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren&#039;t pretty or smart or young. They&#039;re still princesses, all of us.&quot; -Frances Hodgeson Burnett, A Little Princess<br /> or<br /> 1.<br /> Live in the present, remember the past and fear not the future, for it doesn&#039;t exist and never shall. There is only now.&quot; _Christopher Paolini, Eldest

I love it.

Really nice, Aracelli.
