I took this down, but now I'm putting this back up in honor of my mother's birthday.

I don't own the book The Giver and after reading it, and thinking literally for over a month about it. I really wouldn't want to.


How and Why?

How can you live in a world with out music or color?

How can you live at all with out art?

How can you live not knowing your true family?

Do you not have a true heart?

Why choose a world of sameness?

Why choose a world without change?

Why choose a world without nature?

When you can have a world full of life?

Who would live in a world without difference?

Who would live in a world without light?

Who would live in a world without choices?

How can you live without freedom?

We can't… We won't… We don't…

We can't live in a world without music or color,

We can't live at all without art,

We can't bear not knowing our family,

Because we know that we have a heart.

We wouldn't choose a world of sameness,

We wouldn't choose a world without change,

We wouldn't choose a world without nature,

Because we enjoy all of the life.

We would never live in a world without difference,

We would never live in a world without light,

We would never live in a world without choices,

Because we cherish our freedom.
