Stanza V really gets me, but my favorite lines are these:<br /><br />"It was nighttime all day.<br />I loved her and I was going to love her."<br /><br />This poem will stay with me. My 5 year old was up with a high fever last night. Maybe that's why I'm so emotional about this!Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-2872300063349690672010-04-17T05:59:36.035-05:002010-04-17T05:59:36.035-05:00Wow.
