“Otherwise I got out of bed on two strong legs. It might have been otherwise. I ate cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless peach. It might have been otherwise. I took the dog uphill to the birch wood. All morning I did the work I love. At noon I lay down with my mate. It might have been otherwise. We ate dinner together at a table with silver candlesticks. It might have been otherwise. I slept in a bed in a room with paintings on the walls, and planned another day just like this day. But one day, I know, it will be otherwise.” KnowsHas BeensTwoMightTogetherStrongRoomsMorningDogPaintingSweetWallOne DayBedTablesLaysLegsWoodsDinnerSilverThis DayMatesMilkMight Have BeenRipeNoonAnother DayPeachesCerealFlawlessStrong Legs Book:Otherwise: new and selected poems Source: Otherwise: new and selected poems
“In my family we got up in the mornings around three o'clock and went out to the barns to bring the cows in and milk. In high school I milked about twenty cows every morning and about twenty in the afternoon when I got home. I have wonderful memories from those early days when my parent's influence was so strong.” HomeSchoolThreeStrongParentMemoriesMorningWonderfulInfluenceHigh SchoolMy FamilyTwentiesClockAfternoonMilkCowsEvery MorningBarnsWonderful Memories Author:Billy Graham

I like drinking coffee, but I do it with lots of milk because my energy levels are high even without caffeine. You could call me Obelix, except I don't have a belly.” PeopleIfsPersonsNightAsksEnergyLevelsMorningToughDrinkingActiveCoffeeAsk MeCall MeMilkBellyPinsBad DayCaffeineDrinking CoffeeEnergy LevelsNight Person Author:Bipasha Basu
