Dear Friends,

I'm sorry, I've not been home
To read your words, each lovely poem.
Old friends have called while I've been gone.
The door was closed they knocked upon
And names I do not recognise
Have entered with a verse surprise.
Now it will be my greatet pleasure
For me to savor every treasure
When I can find an hour of leisure.

My answering machine is scolding so
And saying I'd no right to go.
My snail mail covers up the table,
I'll read it soon as I am able.
I must peruse
The waiting news;
See who has died and who has not.
My email pouts that I forgot
To open, reply or delete.
I'll open when I'm not so beat.

But first I take the watering hose
To every little plant that grows
In my huge garden, first things first;
Before they all expire from thirst.

With love, Joyce 6/14/03

Hello Joyce! Good go have you back home. When you get all settled in, we shall be here waiting to read your poetic words. Chris

that perches in the soul....

Joyce:  Cute poem!  There's always so much waiting to be tended to, after you've been away a few days.  It's taken me all week to clean all the camping gear and put it away and catch up on laundry and everything else!
Still is fun to get away though!
