That's true on the faceof it, but bigger

tree should be twiceas tall as a boy,

Just 'cause a person diesdoesn't mean they're gone.
296

It just means they moved onto a better placelike

that it would be likelooking at the baptist window;

a shine, you don't knowit's getting dark, and it's been

spooky feeling, e likebut I'll wager it never happens.

lordhas already shown himself, that things as they are,
