A Little Bit of Narcissism...:D

I tagged myself on a photograph on Facebook. And when i login again, this is what i saw. It was the description of my friend's album. And i said, this goes on my blog...:D Wasn't born to follow Oh I'd rather go and journey where the diamond crest is flowing and Run across the valley beneath the sacred mountain and Wander through the forest Where the trees have leaves of prisms and break the light in colors That no one knows the names of And when it's time I'll go and wait beside a legendary fountain Till I see your form reflected in it's clear and jewelled waters And if you think I'm re ady You may lead me to the chasm where the rivers of our vision Flow into one another I will want to die beneath the white cascading waters She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic And then she'll know the things I learned That really have no value in the end she will surely know I wasn't born to follow.  [1] [1]  The Byrds

But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house like a lot of other houses, a yard like a lot of other yards, on a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back, with wonder     what would u do if i sang out of tune would u stand up & walk out on me? Lend me your ears & I’ll sing u a song & I’ll try not to sing out of key   Love can tear and rip you apart. It can kill you. But if you're lucky, it can put you back together...   When you are a little kid you are a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time...   ...Children leave...and parents stay behind. Still, some things are
