Eventually I realized that if I kept going, I would pretty much just be reciting it all, word for word. This is a beauty, Amy, and a wonderful mentor text on so many levels. xoMichelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-17264202186770409782017-05-27T07:51:28.120-04:002017-05-27T07:51:28.120-04:00It's so interesting, Amy, you should comment o...It's so interesting, Amy, you should comment on repeating a line.

They can shape us, wear us down and stick in our heads like thorns. And the people who say them, didn't mean that at all. I like the idea of your white-tooth fence.

You've written it right! It might help if we learned to write those words of apology, too. I love the Memorial Day poem, too. My father was killed in World War II, & it is a special day for me to remember him, and then also others who fought for our freedoms.
