Droplets fall gently,
down to the ground
The bird softly chirps
that lovely new sound
A squirrel quickly scurries
to store what it’s found.

But I am just sitting here
impassive to the core,
yawning and beholding,
pleasantly in accord.

I find no reason
to get up and move.
It’s contenting to just sit here
watching from the alcove,
dreaming that dream that I’ll have
countless other times more.

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
