Songs and Friends

Two of my favorite things! Songs and friends. And two things of which I'm especially grateful for these days.

Jakeb and Anna are using this poem in their school work right now. I chose it because it's a beautiful poem and it applies to our lives right now.

The Arrow and the Song
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak,
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
