Beauty one, and engaging all...

So good luck to you,

to you and your...

hugs and kisses to all,

I'm out the door!

The Promise to Myself



A circle of gold upon my finger

a promise to myself

Two hands hold my heart

wishing for love

Hoping for loyalty

sending my heart out

Sometimes to far

seeing it cast aside

Holding it close again

to keep it from harm

It's time to turn my ring again

Because I will never quit

looking for her

And I will keep

the promise to myself

a little bit further

 

 

a little bit further

 

 

a little

 

a little bit

 

a little bit further

 

I can

 

I can go

 

a little bit

 

a little bit further

 

it'll be

 

ok for me

 

a little bit

 

a little bit further

 

now to

 

find someone who

 

will go with me

 

a little bit

 

a little bit further

 

from there

 

it's just

 

a little

 

a little bit

 

a little bit further

 

to here...

 

 

 

 

Talking with BlockBuster

 

 

the Smith's said it best in their song...

 

"Good times for a change

see the luck I've had

can make a good man go bad

so please please please

let me let me let me

let me get what I want this time

 

Haven't had a dream in a long time

see the life I've had

can make a good man bad

so for once in my life

let me get what I want

Lord knows it'll be the first time

Lord knows it'll be the first time..."

all night long

 

all night long

tears stream down my face

all night long

I wander about my place

all night long

I regret the things I said

all night long

my heart again feels dead

all night long

I stare at my laptop screen

all night long

I shouldn't have dared to dream

all night long

I'm afraid, just like before

all night long

love shouldn't be such a chore

all night long

I wish things were different

all

night

long

I have a visitor coming this weekend...

after a while you would think I'd get tired of looking at myself...hmmmmmmmmm I guess not!

 

 

my heart it dances...

 

 

sitting here

                   without fear

waiting for

                   an open door

her arrival

                  is my survival

like a butterfly

                        my heart flies by

at the end of the day

                                   my heart will be ok

so I'm taking chances

                                     my heart it dances....

 

 

 

 

 

 

(yes I used the imagery before, but I love it soooooooooo!)

Building Walls...

the tower

 

standing still

reaching high

solidly built

I know why...

safely secure

thickly made

defensive position

because I'm afraid...

barring admittance

keeping away

emotional safety

at the end of the day...

hopefully looking

rampart pacing

eagerly searching

my heart is racing...

heartfelt words

lifelong wishes

taking chances

I know what the gist is...

waiting still

seeing chances

taking them

my heart it dances...

 

 

 

 

 

WWII pics of my Pap-pa...

 

Here are some pictures Pap-pa had of himself while he was serving in Italy during WWII.  His personal handwritten comments from the back of the photos are included. 

I miss Pap-pa...

"To Serve Man"

 

GUNFIGHT AT WM CORRAL

 

Wal-Mart Sam rode into town

and all the prices did fall down

Local men tried to attack

but Wal-Mart Sam fired back

He killed one, he killed them all

and then the bodies began to fall

Down at the local business landing

not one store was still left standing

Wal-mart Sam won the day

and now we all are going to pay

No one came to the local's aid

and now there's no place left to trade

If you bow to Wal-Mart Sam

(and I never will by God Damn)

You can buy cheap goods cheap

and all the local money will heap

at the boots of this dirty weevil

and all his cronies down at B-ville 

So sorry for the lack of choices

and all the crying of all the voices

of all the people out of work

by this one discounting jerk

So take your pennies you did pinch

and give them to the B-Ville Grinch

and learn to like his inferior products

and all the hardship that you bought us

So wave goodbye as he rides away

with all our money at the end of the day
