You have hope and joy at your fingertips, but just how far are you willing to reach? Life is just a book of empty pages. A story that’s interpreted by each. Is the story you write full of drama? Or a mystery that’s full of suspense? Romance novel with hero’s and bad guys? Or a life story that’s just too intense? Does it read like a “Do it yourself” guide? Or does the story involve more then one? Is it a book that’s written for success? Will you be satisfied when it is done? Will your story sit on a lonely shelf? Empty pages growing yellow with time. Or will you fill it with such happiness, That there’s a novel,even between lines. Fill the pages with so much hope and joy. That when it finally ends up on a shelf. It will read good as any best seller And you can say that you wrote it yourself. With perseverance even the snail reached the Ark. |

I see you've been doing something productive with your time...this was a great read girl! Can you teach me how to be productive?? I seem to be unable to write squat as of late...**sigh. Thanks for the funny messages you left me...I can always use a smile...and yes, looks like we need to make an appointment for a combo poem from us...Just let me know when you have a brainstorm, ok?  ** I'm reaching for the brightest star I've ever seen - knock my ladder out from under me, and you'll wish you hadn't !! -pFF ** Here's to 2000! |
