MY FAVORITE THINGS. these little poems, written by brian andreas, are moving in so many different ways. they touch all aspects of life and the things that people think... some funny, some sad, but all beautifully said. my mother in law gave me this sculpture for my 25th birthday this year and i am beyond in love with it and it's story.

here's a few of my absolute favorites:

I like butter & sugar & being alive a whole lot & today I'm kind of sad because with all the latest studies I figured out I'm going to have to choose.

You're the strangest person I ever met, she said & I said you too & we decided we'd know each other a long time.

The clock ticked as loudly as rain on glass. I like trains because they make sounds that fit their bodies.

As long as the sun shall rise goes the old lovers vow. But we are children of a scientific age & have no time for poetry. Still, I offer a quiet prayer of thanks for the sunlight each time I see your face.

We need a letter that's like i & u together for when we're doing stuff like this, he said & I hugged him & said a lot of people want a letter like that.
