Longing for Yesteryear

Too soon you were taken from me
Too soon I was left to wander free
Among a world I didn’t know
Among a place that wasn’t home

I’m longing for yesteryear
A time and place where you are near
To my heart, to my hand
Wanting to embrace your love again

To feel and play in the ocean spray
Wishing for rain by night and rainbows by day
Basking in the sun’s brilliant rays
Knowing only cobblestone roads show the way

I’m longing for yesteryear
A time and place where it is near
A place where all my memories will be
The only place where I can be me

La Princessa de Las Ranas

I CANNOT believe I haven't shared my famous poem/song I wrote from my 11th grade Spanish class! For those of you who don't know me that well, I am an avid frog lover and picked up the nickname, Frog Princess. So, as I'm falling asleep one night in high school I was thinking up something cutsie (and Spanish-y) and this is what I came up with. No worries...there is a translation below. Enjoy!!

Cuando yo era

Una nina pequena

Queria ser una princessa

No me importe

Como lo consigue

Queria ser una princessa

Una dia estaba caminando

Encontre una rana que me dijo

"Chica bonita, ven aqui"

"Chica bonita, ven a mi"

No sabia que hacer

Pues, yo fue con el

Conjuntos nos brincamos

Nos bailamos

Entonces....

Nos besamos :)

When I was a young girl

I wanted to be a princess

I didn't care how I got it

I wanted to be a princess

One day while I was walking

I encountered a frog who said

"Pretty girl, come here"

"Pretty girl, come with me"

I didn't know what do to

So, I went with him

Together we hopped

We danced

And then....

We kissed :)
