Good morning, Victoria and Tulip.

Victoria .... the 9-11 graphic is wonderful. Thank you.

We had a wonderful picnic yesterday. The food was excellent as usual. But also as usual, too, too much!! :)

I was exhausted when we got home so I didn't get back to the thread last night.

Have a beautiful day.

Itches

My dog had been feeling nervous,
Some things that annoyed from inside.
He was feeling the itch of the sands of time,
An urge that could not be denied.

Although he was getting older,
He felt the strivings of youth,
He wanted to find a young female,
Though it might have been slightly uncouth.

I sympathized with his condition,
I had middle-aged urges myself
His canine philosophy was very direct,
He could not put it up on the shelf.

All of us have Alzheimer’s.
Our sands are all running out.
Some in a quiet sussurance,
Some in a screaming shout.

One day you are in your prime,
Next, you wake up in Hell.
The windows in the Train of Life,
Are mirrors on our selves.

We don’t know our destination,
We only know where we’ve been.
Most of us only seem to regret,
Those times that we didn’t sin.

We want to have a legacy,
Something of us left behind.
The warmth of the seat when you leave it,
Isn’t always a pleasure to find.

Look back on the tracks you are leaving,
How much did you walk alone?
How well did you make the path easier?
How much of a light have you shone?

These questions come up only after,
It may be too late to affect,
The ultimate stop that’s soon coming.
Just hope you can get off at Heck.

Reminisce all that you want to,
Your fate is in what you have done.
And the light that comes out of the shadows,
Counts as much as the things in the sun.

My dog never made any puppies,
And I kept my own self in check.
Although I spent time in the darkness,
I’m quite sure that I’m heading for Heck.
