Favorite Quote:
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
-Shakespeare


Some people sing for many to hear.

Not I.

I sing only for mine ear.



Others dance to bangs of a band,

Not I.

I dance by the sea on the sand.



All children race for glory,

Not I,

I race for a good story.



Some people whirl to please the eye.

Not I.

I twirl for the periwinkle sky.



Many people sleep and are awake too soon.

Not I.

I sleep by the clock of the iridescent moon.



Some people live to socialize.

Not I.

I live because time flies.
