[Darksheare]

Written on Christmas Eve because it was in my head driving me nuts and wouldn't go away until I typed it down.
And worst part is, it even has a tune in my head to go with it:


Oh. Hello, it's cold in here
Took a walk 'n tasted tears
Been so long, you're gone I fear
All I want is to hold you near
And the riddles that you are
all the rivers that you bleed
all the time that drew you near
all this time you're not with me
And I -Everything inside
is a riddle that I hide
In the middle that you see of what is 'Me'
Often think about your eyes
I may never know the reasons why
And distance grows as time goes by
Wish so much that you'd be here
And this riddle of our lives
The light inside your eyes
A moving glimpse of grace
Where I'm always out of place
And I- Everything this time
Such a void was left inside
You slipped and said goodbye, My SilverQueen.

You may have a cat as crazy as ours.

[Darksheare]

Worse part is, my cat looks like a Holstein cow...
White with black patches.

LOL! Good morning, Amy. Your poem is so funny, and it's also more funny because that's sorta what I posted at the Finest this morning first thing. :)

Hope you had a wonderful day!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the beautiful poem!

Hi everyone!!!

Differences Between Republicans and Democrats...

* Republicans say "Merry Christmas!" Democrats say "Happy Holidays!"

* Republicans help the poor during the holidays by sending $50 to the Salvation Army. Democrats help the poor by giving $50, one buck at a time, to panhandlers on the street.

* Democrats get back at the Republicans on their Christmas list by giving them fruitcakes. Republicans re-wrap them and send them to in-laws.

* Democrats let their kids open all the gifts on Christmas Eve. Republicans make their kids wait until Christmas morning.

* When toasting the holidays, Republicans ask for eggnog or mulled wine. Democrats ask for a "Bud."

* When not in stores, Republicans shop from a catalog. Democrats watch for "incredible TV offers" on late night television.

* Democrats do much of their shopping at Target and Wal-Mart. So do Republicans, but they don't admit it.

* Republican parents have no problem buying toy guns for their kids. Democrats refuse to do so. That is why their kids pretend to shoot each other with dolls.

* Republicans spends hundreds of dollars and hours of work decorating the yard with outdoor lights and Christmas displays. Democrats save their time and money, and drive around at night to look at *other* people's lights.

* Democrats' favorite Christmas movie is "Miracle on 34th Street." Republicans' favorite Christmas movie is "It's a Wonderful Life." Right-Wing Republicans' favorite Christmas movie is "Die Hard."

* Republicans always take the price tag off expensive gifts before wrapping. Democrats also remove price tags off pricey gifts ... and reposition them to make sure they are seen.

* Republicans wear wide red ties and green sports jackets during the festive season. Democrats do too, all year round.

* Most Republicans try, at least once, enclosing indulgent, wretchedly maudlin form letters about their families in their Christmas cards. Public ridicule from Democrats usually discourages them from doing it again.

* Democrats' favorite Christmas carol is "Deck the Halls." Young Democrats' favorite Christmas carol is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." Republicans' favorite Christmas carol is "White Christmas." Young Republicans' favorite Christmas carol is "White Christmas."

* Cheapskate Republicans buy an artificial Christmas tree. Tight-fisted Democrats buy a real tree, but they wait until the week before Christmas when the lots lower their prices.

* Democrat men like to watch football while the women fix holiday meals. On this, Republicans are in full agreement.

* Republicans see nothing wrong with letting their children play "Cowboys and Indians." Democrats don't either, as long as the Indians win.

* Republicans first began thinking like Republicans when they stopped believing in Santa Claus. Democrats became Democrats because they never stopped believing in Santa Claus.

Good Morning, Meekie.

Thanks for showing up early with the coffee. I really need it today.

Have a great week-end.

[JustAmy]

It's kinda late to say Good Morning, so I'd better say Good Afternoon.

Can you believe I was raiding the gifts of candy first thing this morning? Talk about a sugar high.

If I keep this up I will weigh 500 lbs by New Year's Eve.

Thank you for coming by Amy's Place this morning. I'm so glad you like our little place. I enjoy keeping the doors open and the fires lit.

Hello there, Lonestar.

Your tag line says "Don't mess with Texas", does that mean I should quit posting those Texas jokes? LOL

It is so good to see you today. Hope you had the best Christmas ever.

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, Oesy.

The picture of one of our soldiers is great. Isn't it wonderful that they can have a little fun as they celebrate Christmas so far from home.

Thanks for coming by today.

[JustAmy]

I have never heard of boxing day. I thought it meant time to box everything up until next year.

Thank you for that great link, Meekie.

[MeekOneGOP]

You're welcomed.

My ex-wife is British, or I might not have known what it was either.

When she first mentioned Boxing Day, I envisioned something like this ...

Man ! There were about TEN versions of this, ALL calling him Mohammad Ali. He was born Cassius Clay, and I think he was still going by that when he beat Sonny Liston ...

[JustAmy]

I remember that fight! We had gone to visit one of my Aunts; my Hubby and Uncle sat in front of the radio listening to the fight.

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, Pippin.

Thank you for that lovely poem with those warm wishes.

Hope your Christmas was great!

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, Mayor.

I saw the picture of your kids on the Finest; you have a wonderful family and they have a special father.

Thanks for the coffee and the inspiration this morning.

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, BIS

You have a great Day After Christmas too.

Thanks for coming by for a visit.

[MeekOneGOP]

It seems I remember seeing it at the movies. That was in the days when you went to the movie you were treated to a newsreel, a cartoon and coming attraction before the movie started ...

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Temple Owl.

We had a great Christmas.

Thank you for stopping by Amy's Place this morning. We look forward to seeing you the rest of this year and many times in 2004.

[JustAmy]

Good Afternoon, Darks.

Two questions for you this morning .....
First .... Did you have a good Christmas?
Second ...... Were you safe when you did that head first slide into the Ottoman? Or did the sofa tag you out?

It's great to see you at Amy's Place again this morning.

[JustAmy]

That is lovely, Darks.

Thank you for sharing your poem with us. Are you going to add music?
