A lovely poem

I was flipping through my journal of favorite poems last night and I reread this one for the hundredth time, and it still made me smile. It's called, "The Coin" by Sarah Teasdale. If you've never heard of Sarah Teasdale, you should definitely read some of her work. Her poems are beautiful, and they always tug at my heart. Most of the poems in my journal belong to her.

The Coin
by Sarah Teasdale

Into my hearts treasury
  I slipped a coin
That time cannot take
  Nor a thief purloin,--
Oh better than the minting
  Of a gold-crowned king
Is the safe-kept memory
  Of a lovely thing.

My blog

Hey! After browsing other peoples blogs for a while I decided to make my own. I'll be posting things that inspire me, or things that I love. I hope you find something here that inspires you and brings a little smile to your face.  :)
