Charlie and I have discovered that we share the same favorite poem. Every time I read it, I cry. I can only think of the helpless moth and the role of fate destiny in our lives. I am the one who must go. Charlie and I must end, all the while our love will continue on forever!

Design by Robert Frost


I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth

Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth--

Assorted characters of death and blight

Mixed ready to begin the morning right,

Like the ingredients of a witches' broth--

A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,

And dead wings carried like a paper kite.

What had that flower to do with being white,

The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?

What brought the kindred spider to that height,

Then steered the white moth thither in the night?

What but design of darkness to appall?--

If design govern in a thing so small.
