Good morning and thanks for the ping, Dolly

Lord have mercy, I can't hardly read it I'm laughing so hard!!

Here's the poem I have by the mirror on the back porch...

My face in the mirror
Isn't wrinkled or drawn.
My house isn't dirty.
The cobwebs are gone.
My garden looks lovely
and so does my lawn.
I think I might never
Put my glasses back on.

Oh Dolly: this is fantastic. You could make your fortune going on the humor show stage. Even we single men can relate for what is dust anyway?,,,just rearranged celestial cosmic stuff.

Know how a single Man cleans his home?

Hey! Thanks!

I consider that "Honorable Mention." Emphasis on the "honorable!"

You always have such a great thread, here! Thanks for all the work you put into it.

Your thread speaks for many of us Dolly.
Reminds me of a greeting card I saw recently. A traditional housewife is shown on the front mopping the kitchen. The caption on the front is "I get rid of stress by mopping my floor and buffing it to a perfect shine." (and on the inside) "Then I bang my head on it for a couple of hours. How are things with you?"

Hey! I clean ...

Once in a while ...

Dusting Time

I wiped some things on the mantel shelf,
When the hourglass tumbled by itself,
Dusting can wait, said the temporal sands,
Leaving me with time on my hands.

Minute particles everywhere,
My day was shot, I did declare.
I know time is running out,
But does it have to rush about?

Falling to us in its fleeting way,
It seems to be the same each day,
But some days are of longer sorts,
The sad ones and the bad reports.

And happy days go rushing by,
In just the blinking of an eye.
With time cascading through my hands,
I dwell on thoughts of ocean sands.

And times with you when days were long,
The ocean’s roll was our love’s song.
The crying of the gulls that passed,
A warning that it could not last.

The sparkling gems of bygone years,
Were swimming in a sea of tears.
An ocean crashed upon my beach,
As I put sharp remnants out of reach.

Some things you have to put away,
Our memories are a free replay,
A way to laugh and smile and then,
Be sad that they can never be again.

For things may break when down they fall,
And that will happen to us all,
And yet with faith in God above,
We know that we’ll live on, in love.

Should I become a memory,
The power of a God could be,
If no “Big Bang” ever did occur,
Imaginings was all we were.
