(Yeah) They say that things take time (Yeah) Good things come to those who wait This is a common saying to help people see the long-term benefits in the struggle trying to achieve a goal. I’m sick and tired of waiting, man (uh-ha) If I have to work this job for much longer I’m […]

‘Now this is the life,’ thought Miracle. She was sprawled out near the mandarin tree. Her head rested on the mulch, one wing lifted up to let the sun warm her tough, old skin. She didn’t have quite as many feathers as she used to and the sun felt wonderfully warm. A gentle breeze blew […]
