I ran across this today because it fell in my lap. When I was flipping through one of my old journals this feel out and made my feel something that I hadn't felt in a long time. I wanted to share my fav poem with you all this morning! Enjoy!
Where We Belong: A Duet
In every town and village,
In every city square,
In crowded places
I searched the faces
Hoping to find
Someone to care.
I read mysterious meanings
In the distant stars,
Then I went to schoolrooms
And poolrooms
And half-lighted cocktail bars.
Braving dangers,
Going with strangers,
I don't even remember their names.
I was quick and breezy
And always easy
Playing romantic games.
I wined and dined a thousand exotic Joans and Janes
In dusty dance halls, at debutante balls,
On lovely country lanes.
I fell in love forever,
Twice every year or so.
I wooed the sweetly, was theirs completely,
But the always let me go.
Saying bye now, no need to try now,
You don't have the proper charms.
Too sentimental and much too gentle
I don't tremble in your arms.
Then you rose into my life
Like a promised sunrise.
Brightening my days with the light in your eyes.
I've never been so strong,
Now I'm where I belong.
-Maya Angelou
Ok guys LOVE YOU ALL!
