Help! Lost Email!

I am not happy. Last night, I stopped by the help desk in the Undergrad Library to see if they could help me figure out what happened to the files on my laptop. I tried to work on a paper that’s due next week, and it turns out my hard drive died. Not only that, but I hadn’t been making backups because they just take too much time. And I didn’t buy a CCI machine, so my computer's warranty has expired. I stopped by the lab in the Undergrad Library to check email, and had a message from my best friend in high school, Bob. He had a few things to say about Nicole and me getting engaged. OK, he had more than a few things to say, so I printed out his email and took it with me when I stopped by the RAM shop to look at new hard drives. Yes, I found a new hard drive, but when I got back to the Union to have a latte, I realized I’d lost the email message! This was not a good day. And to top it all off, after I printed the email, I deleted it. Please help me find that message! I know I had it when I left the lab, and I didn’t have it when I sat down in the Union. Let me know if you find it. Bob writes poetry, and I’m pretty sure he included one in that message that he wanted to read at the wedding. I just can’t remember what the poem was, though. Not sure if I’ll want it at the wedding. I’m more into Andrew Marvell myself. But a modern poem might suit Nicole better. I need to get Bob’s poem so I can decide. If you find it, include it in a comment here so I can remember what it said. I really just need the poem posted here. I remember the stuff from the rest of the email. Please help!

  1. Nobody's found it yet? I haven't had time to retrace my steps to see if I can find it. (I've got rehearsals going on for 2 shows!) But I really need to know what that poem was. Please see if you can find it for me!

  2. I got this on Friday before the snow started, but forgot to post it! Here's the poem, Brandon. I found it in the RAM Shop.

    Canyons were not made in a day
    Over eons, drops, rivulets, streams, rivers
    Carve rock
    Into deepness. Like canyons
    Love is not made in a day.
    Moments, hours, days turn that
    First impulse of feeling into deepness.
    Canyon-like.

    IMO, it's OK, but not great as a wedding poem.
