Life In Loud, Week 7

Normal
day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.  Let me learn from you, love
you, bless you before you depart.  Let me not pass you by in quest of some
rare and perfect tomorrow.  Let me hold you while I may, for it may not
always be so.  One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my
face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and
want, more than all the world, your return.  ~Mary Jean Iron
