i found out the history of my great great grandmother and also found a stern picture of her that seemed to look at me.

dont scorn me great, great grandmother
as i look upon your face
dont frown upon me with your
head full of pretty lace

when i look at you, you look so engraged
your face is trying to tell me something
as it leaps out of the page

we have never met i know
but your eyes are telling me
never to let go
so what do u want to say
oh stranger that i see

you seem to frown upon the very soul of me
are your eyes following me through the journey of my life
tell me your story
your're someones mother
someone's wife

looking closer i see sadness
in your eyes i see wonderment, heartache
and a whirlppol of cries
you are my great great grandmother
that i do know
i wishi i had been in your world
or u in mine to say hello

you have never known me
nor i have known u
but one day far above the clouds
we will say "hi" just for a while.....we two.

Mine is:
We Are Seven

Poem lyrics of We Are Seven by William Wordsworth.

--A Simple Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?

I met a little cottage Girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.

She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
--Her beauty made me glad.

"Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?"
"How many? Seven in all," she said
And wondering looked at me.

"And where are they? I pray you tell."
She answered, "Seven are we;
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.

"Two of us in the church-yard lie,
My sister and my brother;
And, in the church-yard cottage, I
Dwell near them with my mother."

i am yearning, burning
for who i want to be
put on my real face
put on that dress for me

with my hippy this
and my boho that
i smile my crooked smile
and look with my feisty face

i shake my head of curls
i dare to to see the real me
look closer world
im still burning for who i want to be

you're there when she needs you, you give her that pit in your gut, you stay loyal, as a pup. if she should murder, you would find a shovel... instead you are left, with a pit in your throat, a hole in your gut, lost like a pup, holding a shovel with caca all in your face.
and so it is, but why???

Is it because we have more to give? But with the voyage of life beginning in the womb, can it be a numbing fear of the tomb?

one day, he called all his sons to the study. there are 5 hats on the table -- 3 of which are white, and 2 are red. he put 3 hats to his sons without them knowing. then they were told to sit facing each other so they can each others hat -- except the blind man of course. after doing so, the bachelor asked his 3 sons to guess the color of the hats they are wearing with a one-strike policy. the 1st coulndt guess, the second couldnt either. suprisingly, the blind son got the money.

what do u think was the 3rd son's guess? justify ur answer.

Why are the fundamental questions of life (i.e., "where do we come from", and why are we here?") so rarely discussed by the "average" person? how can my mere (non-physical) "will" set in motion a physical process? Where are we? What is nature? What is humanity's place in nature? And what is the relationship of society to the natural world? If we would be travelling time, why can we not see earth in the past?

How did it affect you? Did the experience change your perspective on things like life after death, god, your own mortality, or the concept of time? Is death really the great leveller? Do we have a responsibility to witness well?

I love reading books, and I could recommend tons to other people, but the one book, other than the Bible, that I say is a must read is definitely The Kite Runner. What is your must-read book?

Could we please have a rest from people telling us we are going to burn in hell unless we read the Bible and believe every word in it? No matter who asks the question, Can you recommend a great book to read?, someone is going to come along and shove the Bible at us. Please go to the religious section to do that, because if it keeps happening I'm going to start reporting people for religious harrassment. Do we understand that? Thank you for your co-operation.
