Loose Ends |

If not for a loose end I would have been there Far afield where blooms Occur only if you see them And trees make sounds that Are the stuff of legends Loose ends that can Tighten around a neck Like a hangman's noose Choking the mind free of Its guilt, regrets and sorrows I would have been there If not for a loose end Just one more act of cowardice Where I allowed fear To exceed my judgment Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Eh, I imagine we all have our own "loose ends," Mr. Martini. i know I do even this late in life. For the most part we learn to deal with them. For the most part. ~ My inner world is my paradise and I am its keeper ~ |

Kind Sir, "Where I allowed fear To exceed my judgment" Sometimes hindsight is 20/20 and we find that our fear saved our assets. Our judgment often operates in a vacuum we call hypothetical. The reality actually bites. ~L |

"Sometimes hindsight is 20/20". Forgive me for quoting myself Lori Rhoden, but allow me a moment of facetiousness. Of the 20, I have erred 20. But until I become sufficiently breathless, there is always 21 and beyond. Merci Beaucoup Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Kind Sir, No one gets to be perfect. But in some games 21 is a winning hand. ~L |

My dear Lori Rhoden, both my hands were winning when I was 21. Dans la bonne humeur, mon amie. Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |
