Tell Me, She Said

Atticus & Podcast Nation
About this episode

Tell me,

she said,

about our house

our children

our garden

about the lives we will have --

but he never could

and it wasn't until she was gone

that he understood

that she never needed the house

she only needed the dream.


xx Atticus
