"We shall meet again!"
Sep. 15th, 2003 08:31 pmFirst off, Bennifer. Two words: Who. Cares.
Yesterday Neesha, Dahlia, and I went out after church for the last time before I leave. Toodled around my house for a bit watching extras on the TTT DVD. Lovely things. Then we went to Moses and lunch and the movies. Saw Matchstick Men, which I really enjoyed. Really could have done without the epilogue, but, you know, it's a choice writers/directors/people make. I like ambiguity. Give me that. Not to say the end of the movie was bad, I just would have ended it differently.
Today Amanda and I finally got together. We went to Moses and I treated her to lunch at Perkins and she treated me to dessert at Dairy Queen. We both had to do some shopping at the always handy Wal-Mart. As shoddy as that store can be, it's damn handy. I got all of the extra little things you need to get when you buy a printer. (I have a new printer! Whee.) After that we went back to Royal to visit the high school and see some of our teachers again. It was really strange being there again. Really. And good at the same time.
A Wayfaring Song
O who will walk a mile with me
Along life's merry way?
A comrade blithe and full of glee,
Who dares to laugh out loud and free
And let his frolic fancy play,
Like a happy child, through the flowers gay
That fill the field and fringe the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me
Along life's weary way?
A friend whose heart has eyes to see
The stars shine out o'er the darkening lea,
And the quiet rest at the end o' the day-
A friend who knows, and dares to say,
The brave, sweet words that cheer the way
Where he walks a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend,
I fain would walk till journey's end,
Through summer sunshine, winter rain,
And then?- Farewell, we shall meet again!
-Henry Von Dyke
