Favorite Quote:
“Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day, you’re in diapers, the next day, you’re gone; but the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house like a lot of other houses, a yard like a lot of other yards, on a street like a lot of other streets; and the thing is, after all these years, I still look back, with wonder.”
—
Daniel Stern, as Kevin Arnold, in “The Wonder Years” episode, “Independence Day”.

In the dreariest mornings
I now how reason to lift myself
From the warmth and oh so ever lovely covers
You
The reason that I can be relatively fine
You
The thoughts running past the sunlight skies
You
When eyelids drop from lethargy
The reason for alertness
You
The most terrifying yet beautiful thing
You
I still cannot approach
You.
