Wisdom & Quotes

• Ah-ho, where is your Daddy?

He points to a bird flying in the air.
Aha! So I am that flying bird!
Watch me outfly the white clouds,
Watch me race against the gleaming sails,
And see who flies the higher,
See who speeds the faster.

• Her hand, my hand

Have touched for a long time;
Her lips, my lips,
When shall we have enough?
