"They had forgotten the cold, empty splendor of the Snow Queen's castle like a bad dream. Grandma was sitting in God's clear sunshine and reading aloud from the Bible: 'Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.' ... And they both sat, grown up and yet children - children at heart. And it was summer - the warm, glorious summer."

Loyalty

A true companion shapes the world.
You know the sort I mean:
The one who would keep at your side
From six to seventeen,
And after too, for nothing changed
Enough to make him leave.
The two of you might grow and learn,
But what this would achieve
Was just to keep you true and close
Whatever came your way:
Through golden fields or bitter storms
Yet steady you would stay.
