    Megan McCafferty
    “We
    are Adam and Eve
    born out of chaos called
    creation
    Ribbing me gave you life
    yet you forget
    there will always be
    a part of me in you
    yes
    I taunted and tempted
    you
    with my forbidden fruit
    does that make
    me
    the serpent too?
    Believe what you will
    but if I am exiled
    alone
    I know we will be
    together again someday
    naked
    without shame
    in paradise
    My thanks to you
    for being in on my
    sin”

    “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
    Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
    Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
    Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
    Who has left the world better than he found it,
    Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
    Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
    Whose life was an inspiration;
    Whose memory a benediction.”
    ― Bessie Anderson Stanley, More Heart Throbs Volume Two in Prose and Verse Dear to the American People And by them contributed as a Supplement to the original $10,000 Prize Book HEART THROBS
