If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs, The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies. While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, Crying to the moo-oo-oon, If only, If only.

What amazes me is that most days feel useless. I don't seem to accomplish anything-just a few pages, most of which don't seem very good. Yet, when I put all those wasted days together, I somehow end up with a book of which I'm very proud.
