The Antidote to Self Hate
Summer Morning by Rose Fyleman The air around was trembling-bright And full of dancing specks of light, While butterflies were dancing too Between the shining green and blue. I might not watch, I might not stay, I ran along the meadow way. The straggling brambles caught my feet, ... Show More
