I'm counting the buttons on my blouse,
He loves me,
He loves me not,
He loves me,
He loves me not,
He loves me,
He loves me not,
And then I panic,
There's one button missing.
Quickly I look in the sewing basket,
I'm nervous,
I turn the whole thing over on the table.
Thank God, it's there.
With careful stitches I put it back in place
And start counting again.
Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, YES!!!
I'm running to my Mom,
Grab her around the waist,
While shouting: "Mom, he loves me!"
Astounded she asks:
"Who darling?"
But I'm already dancing out of the room.
He loves me, me, me, ME!!!
I was fourteen.


Life on the internet begins at...90!

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Now that was just too cute for words!  I remember doing that myself a long time ago.


We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start!

Ha ha ha ha! I loved that. And the ending is so perfectly stated -- "I was fourteen." Big smiles over here in California.
