Building Block

I have a big black of wood on my desk. I have plane to carve things into the black of wood, but that will come about. A lot of students ask about that block of wood and why it is there. Here's the answer.

Building Block

Here’s this block

Take it.

It’s a building block.

The heart is my love

            Notice that it is cut deep into the block.

The D is the dreams for you

            Dream and do.

The infinity symbol is the number of times

            You try before giving up.

The L is for the word Look,

            Look and learn,

                        A lot.

The book means read

            That’s it, just read.

The last side is blank

            It’s for you.

                        Make your own mark.

Here’s this block.

Take it.

It’s a building block.
