I do not understand, and I will never comprehend. Why so many overthink what is so simple, in the end. We become who we believe, if not today; tonight.

There once was a sparrow who lived by herself, the loneliest of lonely birds She stayed in a nest which she’d built to fit more, but sadly it was only hers Each evening she nestled a place she could sleep, the same little spot every time She’d dream through the night that she’d fine’ly find … More The Sad, Lonely Sparrow
