The Child Inside

touching poem.

V. Ananya's avatarAnanya's Scribbles Corner

You’ve been inside me for a few months now,
Growing, developing, moving,
I can only see you on a hospital screen –
And so, even when I don’t like it much,
I go there anyway, just for a chance to see you
Again and again.

When we first found out about your existence,
I was expecting it, but –
Oh, you should’ve seen your father’s face –
What a picture it was!
The only regret I had after that day
Was that I didn’t think to take a photo to show you
When you were all grown up –
I’m sure you’d laugh and laugh,
Till you could no more!

Ever since then, you’ve been inside of me,
Growing, developing –
From a tiny seed to an almost full-grown baby –
I’ve seen every one of it.

But it was when you started moving inside me
That the real joy…

My thoughts on OneNote

Okay, I have been working with OneNote since the email from Evernote… and I have some thoughts.

Overall, I am not unhappy with OneNote…

It is not perfect. I have some issues. But it is good enough for my needs.

I can do separate notebooks – which is the only true requirement I had in my writing program.

I can move the notebooks around and I can make separate pages for each poem- which I could not do that in Evernote.

The notebooks have the ability for sections – again not something I could do in Evernote.

It does not have a word counter option 😔. Evernote had that and I am severely missing it.

The option to print is far nicer than that of Evernote, but it is still not allowing me to set it up for the whole thing to be a single document for the pdf. I wish I could have some options for setting up the print to pdf a little bit better.

I can use it offline as long as the notebook is open. However I am limited on how many I can have open.

The best functionality is on my desktop computer on Windows. It is not compatible with my android tablet – though my phone (android) is compatible. I have no options for the Linux laptop except for the web browser version.

The app doesn’t cost me anything but it does require storage space on my OneDrive… which means I have to subscribe to it…It is cheaper than Evernote was monthly by about 60 cents…($8 vs $7.45) so I am not going to complain.

All that is to say that I am not upset about the situation. I’m sorry Evernote chose to lose my business. But I think that I found a substitute that works for me. Would I recommend it? Yeah. It has the functionality I was looking for. The lack of a word counter is the biggest complaint that I have… but I can make do with online word count tally sites. Not a big deal. Annoying, but only minorly so.

Due to exhaustion from a weekend attending of the flea market…I was feeling slow and not sure what to post…but then it occurred to me that I have gardens full of digital flowers that I have done.

Wild Wednesday

Thanks to a wonderful gift my computer is getting a much needed upgrade.

So, it was decided that I would do a fresh install at the same time..

The only problem with that is NOW I am doing the back up of files that I have been avoiding for months…

UGH.

This is going to be a bit…

However, I will have more space as the upgrade includes another Terabyte Hard drive(SSD), and 16g Ram ( I currently have 8) and a pretty nice new CPU Cooler that will extend the life of my system. I am quite tickled by the gift.

Lyrics

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Now I ain’t one for speaking out much
But that don’t mean I don’t stay in touch
Everybody’s trippin’ over this or that
What we gonna do when we all fall flat?

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
What we gonna do when it all burns down?

I don’t know what to think about us
When did we lose in God we trust
God Almighty, what we gonna do
If God ain’t listenin’ and we’re deaf too

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Don’t get me started on politics
Now how are we to live in a world like this
Greedy politicians, present and past
They wouldn’t know the truth if it bit ’em in the ass

Now tell me what is truth?
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Have we all lost sight
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Of common decency?
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Of the wrong and right?

How do we heal this great divide?
Do we care enough to try?
Liar, liar the world’s on fire
What we gonna do when it all burns down?

Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife
Janey got a sign to carry in the fight
Marching in the streets with sticks and stones
Don’t you ever believe words don’t break bones

Oh, can we rise above?
Can’t we show some love?
Do we just give up
Or make a change?
We know all too well
We’ve all been through hell
Time to break the spell
In Heaven’s name

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Liar, liar the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
Fire, fire burning higher
Still got time to turn it all around

Show some love (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Still got time to turn it all around)
Let’s rise above (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let’s make a stand (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let’s lend a hand (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Still got time to turn it all around)
Let’s heal the hurt (liar, Liar, the world’s on fire)
(Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let kindness work (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let’s be a friend (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?)
Let hatred end (liar, liar, the world’s on fire)
(Whatcha gonna do)

Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?
Liar, liar, the world’s on fire
Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down?

My 2 Cents –

Okay…Wow. I have always loved Dolly. She is such a powerful singer and she always chooses lyrics that are worth hearing. But I am just blown away by this one all around.

Pride Month…

Just saying….
