French Storefronts And Cafés!

Miracle

Not the one who takes up his bed and walks

But the ones who have known him all along

And carry him in —

Their shoulders numb, the ache and stoop deeplocked

In their backs, the stretcher handles

Slippery with sweat. And no let up

Until he’s strapped on tight, made tiltable

and raised to the tiled roof, then lowered for healing.

Be mindful of them as they stand and wait

For the burn of the paid out ropes to cool,

Their slight lightheadedness and incredulity

To pass, those who had known him all along.

I hope Brendan Fraser is having a nice day.

Es un libro maravilloso!!!!!!

1 dog year isn’t equal to 7 human years.

Dogs don’t age parallel to people, they actually age more quickly at first, then slow down. Depending on their size and breed, a 1-year-old dog is about the same as a 15-year-old person, a 2-year-old dog is like a 24-year-old person, and every year after that is equal to about 4-6 human years.
