Morning.
Found something I wrote two years ago and never saved.
:-/



Tell me a story,
tell me a dream.
Tell me something
to make me believe
again.

[Soaring Feather]

Morning!!


Great!!
Now maybe you can work on it some more to flesh it out although, it stands alone just fine.

Just a suggestion.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.

Birdie, Birdie



Birdie, Birdie, in the sky,
Why’d you do that in my eye?
I don’t care—I won’t cry,
But gee, I’m glad that cows don’t fly!

I Wish I Could Find My Way Back Home

If I could just find my way back home;
The signpost faded, the trail is grown
Up with briars in vines and thorn.
I thought it wouldn't be this soon
That it would take away the view
Of purple mountain majesty,huddled masses yearning liberty
And words that say just what they mean
Before the laws perversity
Of truths we hold self evident
And broken laws;not only bent
By those we loaned the public trust,
Black robes drunk with powers lust
Caprice elects their tool of choice
None other else to have a voice.
So here I stand perplexed and lost,
Confounded as I count the cost.
Where is the straight and narrow road
That's broad enough to take us home?
But narrow so as we can see
Right from wrong, and purity,
Of truths we held, but now seem gone?
How can we now find our way home?

Of truths we held, but now seem gone?
How can we now find our way home?

Good morning, Texas Songwriter.

Excellent poem this morning. Oh, so true.

Thank You.

Good morning Ms. Feather!

SOARING by Jolene Anderson

We soar above the crowd We fly above the rest We know our place in time Up above the clouds and fear We soar in the LIGHT We know who we are Would you join us Let go of your fear Let your LIGHT shine Come soaring with us We know our place in time We know who we are We are the LIGHT

[Soaring Feather]

WOO HOO, ms marlowe, wish I was going with ya!

Have a wonderful day!

When I Am Really Old

When I Am Really Old

I’ll go live with my five sons and
bring them so many joys
It will be fun living with
each of my five little boys.
I will write on the walls
and scuff up the floors
I will run in and out with-
out closing the doors
I will hide toads in the pantry
and socks under my bed
Whenever they scold me I will
just hang my head
I’ll run and and jump
and I’ll putter away
the time for  doing
my chores every day
I will holler and talk when
they are on the phone
As long as they are talking
I will not leave them alone
I will hide food in the pantry
and put rocks behind the doors
I’ll run off to the movies
and not wash a dish
I’ll ask for money
whenever I wish
I’ll stuff up the plumbing
and flood water on the floor
As soon as they mop it up
I will flood it some more
Whenever they correct me
I will lie down and cry
kicking and screaming,
not a tear in my eye
I will hide their pencils and flash lights
and when they buy new ones I’ll hide them again
I will spill my glass of milk
to complete every meal
Then I will eat my banana
and just drop the peel
I will put toys on the table
and spill jam and jelly on the floor
I will break dishes
as though I was four
I will have fun
and what a joy it will be
To live with each of my children
like they lived with me

Well, I had stuck it on the original run of Dimensional Doors back in 2003.
That was as far as I'd gotten with it at the time.
