I'd run my whole life long to reach you; paddle my way across Atlantic and Pacific; traverse Jungle and Desert to find you; climb cliffs and drop from the sky to rescue you. Anything to be close to you. Any way to say I love you.
The rule of the universe is that others can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and one can paddle every canoe except one's own.
I had a dream about you. You took a cruise, and I took a canoe. I paddled alongside your ship out into the Atlantic Ocean and down to the Caribbean. I shouted “I love you†the whole way, but you couldn’t hear me, probably because that man you were with was talking the whole time.

Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be.
Always behave like a duck - keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath.
