When I first set up the little bunny wabbit widget on my blog, I didn't know what to expect but secretly feared an endless stream of playground obscenities. Fast forward to a few weeks later and thousands of messages and I'm absolutely floored by how cool people are even when given a totally anonymous channel of communication. I've received some absolutely lovely messages and some of you have even signed your names to your messages (and gone so far as to leave your email addresses.) Thank you!

Of course, there is a high rate of xlkjasdkfghjfdldf but even a few of those were followed by short messages apologizing for testing out the bunny (not having realized that it was going to read it out to me!) I mean how cool. Think about it: You have a totally anonymous means of saying anything you want to and you choose to be so nice about it. That rocks!

And, today, I received a lovely stanza from a poem that I wanted to share with you guys:

If I had a thousand pages,
I could never name them all,
The reasons that I love you,
For the list would be too tall.

It made me Google the poem and find it's author. Apparently it's from a poem by Mark Liverance. The rest of the poem (from lovepoemsandquotes.com) reads:

I love you for the melody,
I hear within your voice.
The way your blue eyes hold me,
A captive, but by choice.

I love you for your gentle hands,
That melt away my pain.
I love you for your loving heart,
That made mine beat again.

I love you for your loving smile,
With which my old heart soars.
These are some of the reasons,
Every second beat is yours.

How beautiful!

I'm keeping nearly every message sent to the bunny and I'm going to publish my favorites soon.
