Jen Loves/Misses Her Family

Dear Family,

Thanks for the lovely card you sent me. Nobody has a family that can hold a candle to you - I know, because I devised a ranking system and you always win. It made my day to hear from you and especially to get the heartfelt message from Cleo (a paint-stamp of her paw print). I really appreciate the thought, although I bet it was Mom's idea, not yours Cleo. To show you my love, I wrote you this poem.

My Family Is Better Than Your Family
by Jen

Embarking on a journey with a sparkle in my eye
I packed a bag, said my farewells, as I prepared to fly.
I kissed my loved ones on the cheeks and said, I'll see you soon.
But mainly concentrated on the new phase of my moon.

I left to seek adventure, and to "change my life" and such.
But what I never realized is I'd miss them all so much.
I'm grateful for my family, and though we live apart,
No matter where I lay my head, home always has my heart.

I love you! I'm the luckiest girl in Korea. :)



I also got my new rice cooker from my school, and 2 books from Amazon today. What a wonderful Thursday. :)
