If you are planning on touching me, there's something you should know- use caution while approaching and reach out very slow. I'm worn and I have brittled with age, my chest cracks when I stretch- I've even heard the neighbors say I'm a reclusive lonely wretch... no, just not up for playing games like hide-and-seek or fetch. Stand back a bit so it's easy for me to get a good look at your shoes, because if you're a walkin' man, I won't be fooled by ruse... and you will not get the chance to touch or feed my muse. But if you are a kinder man and have good intent to stay, you will feel the warmth of me, a fire on a winter's day... and it may take you till December because slowly is my way. |

You Old Dog....... I tend to make a point of being careful when approaching any dogs.... But I do think if you dare to show fear they sense it and it puts them on edge.... After saying that... if I do approach a dog it's only to be nice Eric Lance Davies |

The best things are worth waiting for... and savored... very, very slowly. Nice write, Dixie. MoonShadow . |

So many great lines... I could copy over the entire poem! *S* Slow can be very good... you don't run into nearly as many brick walls when you're watching where you're going... and know where he's been. *S* Great write!! |

I'm slow to make decisions I'm slow to speak my heart I'm slow to seek my future And slow to find my part I wait too long for good things I wait too long for love I'm slow to sort my shortfalls So pray to God above I pretend that better's coming With hope I greet each day So with my friends I ponder Cos slowly is my way Dear Dixie, great to read your words my friend, very much enjoyed, thanks for the inspiration. Take care and slowly goes. Rick |

. ooxoo sis and if the neighbors only knew the truth of you they'd be on their knees begging for but a whisper of your time. Never forget that the truest strength often comes in the most delicate forms. "I dreamed of a butterfly under a winter moon and when I awoke found snow upon my wings" |
