Favorite Quote:
There is freedom waiting for you
on the breezes of the sky,
and you ask “What if I fall?”
Oh, but my darling,
what if you fly?

~Eric Hanson

Innocence is:

when I didn't understand

why you cried

when you told me that daddy was leaving

and I asked where he was going

and wondered if he'd bring me a sweet

on his way back.
