Which Was the Happiest? by Hans Christian Andersen
"Such lovely roses!" said the Sunshine. "And each bud will soon burst in bloom and be equally beautiful. These are my children. It is I who have kissed them to life."
Cut While Shaving by Charles Bukowski
Love's Language by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
How does Love speak?In the avoidance of that which we seek—The sudden silence and reserve when near—The eye that glistens with an unshed tear—The joy that seems the counterpart of fear,As the alarmed heart leaps in the breast,And knows and names and greets its godlike guest—Thus doth Love speak.
