It takes a couple 'a years or so
To recover from the fights

A family like our'n
Doesn't party like most do

Musings at Giza
by Michael R. Burch

In deepening pools of shadows lies
the Sphinx, and men still fear his eyes.

Great pyramids, the looted tombs
—how still and desolate their...

Into each life a little rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.”- - Longfellow

The rapture of their words written on a blank piece of paper
Wrapped in pink ribbon to send to a lover
