including poems and thank you's in a very eloquent style:
"thank you"
am sitting in a hotel room in Vietnam. Preparing to perform on the first ever American/Vietnamese broadcast since the war. It really is the perfect time to write.
There are so many people, places, and things that I need to thank for the success of this project. But before I begin, I need to say that each and every chemical moment of my life, every person I have spoken with, every street I have traveled, every museum, country, city, space or home that I have visited has been a profound instance and is mirrored, whether obviously or in some refracted way, in the work you see today. So if your name is not here, it is purely because this is the distilled version of my “thankyous.”
Thank You
Mom, Dad, Natali, Grandma Angelina, Grandma Ronnie, Granpa Paul, Grandpa Joe, Aunt Merle and Uncle Bobby, Aunt Sheri and Uncle Steve, Aunt Carol and Uncle Doug, Laura and Jenny
– I love you.
Thank you for teaching me the importance of family, and showing me the value of always sitting down to dinner together— and never taking a bite till everyone was present. And thank you to all the women in this family,for teaching me how to be one.

A POEM FOR JOANNE
For all the words you could not say
I promise they’ll be mine,
The one you meant to marry J
I promise I will find
And when your brother calls for me
I promise I will come,
Cause when I feel that I may break
You heart, it makes mine strong”
–Stefani Joanne Germanotta
For The Fans
In every minute of the day,
The truth is that I'm dead,
Until I'm here on stage, with you,
Then I'm alive instead
-Lady GaGa
For A Moment
Yesterday, I took a walk in the rain
The cool refreshing droplets splashed on my cheeks.
I walked,
And walked, And walked,
Not knowing where I was going.
The trees swayed as a chilly spring
Gently caressed their branches.
A cute white rabbit scampered
Across a wide open field.
He stopped in front of me in a
Patch of emerald.
He had a quizzical look on his furry little face.
He wiggled his ears,
Crinkled his nose,
And scratched his whiskers like
An old man.
I started to laugh.
He ran off into the distance
Looking like a pearl in a patch of seaweed.
The cool refreshing droplets splashed
On my cheeks.
I walked,
And walked, And walked,
Not knowing where I was going.
I saw a family of ducks on a lake,
I stopped to look,
Mama Duck first,
And all the little ducklings gliding
Behind her in a single file.
They were dancing to the music
of the rain tapping on water.
And then I was my reflection on
the mirror-like surface of the lake
And for a moment�
I was the only living creature around.
The cool refreshing droplets splashed
On my cheeks. I turned,
And walked, And walked,
Knowing where I was going.
-Joanne Stefani Germanotta
so. intelligent.
