The Soap’s Bubble When I was a little child and then in my teens I had plenty, oh so plenty, of soap bubble dreams. Light and airy with glimmers of God’s rainbows; a puff, and a breeze, and away they would go. As I grew older with small babes by my side in soap bubble dreams all reality would hide. The love was gone, on the bubble’s edge I rode hiding love’s lies quietly in my broken abode. When the soap’s bubble burst it was as if a wail rendered forth and ’tho the silent screams prevailed, I set forth alone with babes, far away from wretched lies toward fear, the unknown, with “divorced woman’s” stride. Soap bubble dreams then took on a very sharp edge each day as if standing on life’s precarious ledge. Babes growing daily, couldn’t wonder without fear dare I show them enchantment of a soap bubble’s cheer? That reality bites, this trite saying is so true, even as the child grows, in magic there’re clues and the secret in living, or so thus it seems, is to live the reality, never forgetting soap bubble dreams. ©KRJ 11 September, 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

poignant..Sunshine I especially like the last lines "and the secret in living, or so thus it seems, is to live the reality, never forgetting soap bubble dreams!".......... ------------------ May your days be filled with lots of sunshine and your nights lit up by golden moonbeams |
