The best I’ve managed is row 20, which is somewhere between cool and a $5 hot dog.

She is the one who carries my heart,
she is the one so loved.
She is a place where days get their start,
she is a gift from above.

Morning sunshine is the perfect alarm clock.

I saw a little girl waiting at a bus stop next to a puddle.
An approaching suv noticed that girl and made an honest effort to avoid splashing filth upon her lovely, hand sewn dress.
