I feel like I found some treasures while still showing restraint at the Blackduck library book sale.

A friend and colleague (early childhood teacher educator) is from Singapore but has made New Zealand her home for over ten years. Her husband and teenage son are still living in Christchurch. This poem speaks to the core of what I am feeling as I share in her pain that she has allowed us to witness. Only poetry is able to capture pain and transform it to something transcendent. I shared this poem with her in the hopes of holding her through words.
Ooops I did it again/Walked out with a lot/Got lost in the stacks/Oh baby baby/I think I'm in love/Books are sent from aboooove/Libraries are magnificent #litsyalternativelyrics #apologiestobritneyspears #sorrynotsorry #petsoflitsy #damnitlitsy
