How Are You Faring?

How are you faring

down by the bay?

With a heart that’s too heavy

and a mind that’s astray.


How are you faring

up by the nest?

With a voice clear and pure

and a figure of a bird.


How are you faring

on this cold winter night?

With an eye on the moon

and a face that’s pale blue.

How are you faring

on this sunny spring day?

With a head in the clouds

and eardrums that rebound.


How are you faring

o Mighty Seamen?

With a ship made of wood

and an imagination that is as it should.

I am a princess, all girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty or smart or young. They're still princesses, all of us." -Frances Hodgeson Burnett, A Little Princess

I love it.
