A Life Lesson

There, little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your doll, I know;
And your tea-set blue,
And your play-house, too,
Are things of the long ago;
But childish troubles will soon pass by.
There! little girl, don't cry!

There, little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your slate, I know;
And the glad, wild ways
Of your school-girl days
Are things of the long ago;
But life and love will soon come by.
There! little girl, don't cry!

There, little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your heart, I know;
And the rainbow gleams
Of your youthful dreams
Are things of the long ago;
But Heaven holds all for which you sigh.
There! little girl, don't cry!

~ James Whitcomb Riley

Ma'Salaama!

I'm always up for a new adventure, but I'm so tired of saying good-bye.Why is it that every adventure has to begin with a good-bye? I leave in two days and leave all the friends I've made behind. I will get to a new place on Monday and start all over again. I'm excited, but also a little sad. I'm just not ready to say good-bye... =(
