  Bye Bye Being Good Farewell Nice Say Hi To Marsha Spice Everyone looks at me and thinks I’m as good as gold But actually all the goodness in me has been sold I traded it in for a spirit that would cuss and fight Well I had to do something its time I saw the light I was beginning to get rather tired and very weary Of my heart always hurting and my eyes being teary So I’m going to be a new me and I’ll become tough I’ll bid bye bye to being good, of nice I’ve had enough People see me and they say Marsha is always so nice But now they will say that my nice has a heavy price I’ve swapped it for some guts that won’t care much I had to get rid of it I was always a very soft touch Okay my Mama won’t be pleased she always said That whatever else you lose don’t let spirit be dead Because we all need a heart that is loving and giving Without that dear daughter you won’t be really living You all perceive me as the one who’ll help because I do But now I’m going to find myself a very different shoe I’m not going to be the first to offer my support or help I’ll stand and watch you and not answer your little yelp I know it’ll be hard because I don’t think it’s very kind But I can’t be worrying about that I’ll say never mind No more nice Marsha who cares about the worlds heart This new Marsha would tear the old me cheerfully apart I hope I can keep the old Marsha from coming around Because I fear that when she awakens I will lose ground I know it’s so difficult to coat my heart in iron sheets And the old me feels so much pain she constantly weeps It’s because of that I’ve been forced to make a harder me Because it will be easier on my heart it simply has to be If I don’t see the damage and the broken spirits all about Then my heart won’t be hurt if I ignore compassion’s shout Marsha < !signature--> Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-29-2001).] |

CoCo love, this was my getting back to work write, and it actually worked, the staff all took one look and worked yesterday. It won't last though Marsha Spice will sink back into the shadows. Mainly because I don't like hr very much. She's okay for a short while but not for long. Thank you for the hugs, and the love which I return to you with mine. Love to you dear friend. Take care love as always Mushy Sven dear heart, thank you love, just me trying to be a little tougher, I don't think I can keep it up though, or even really want to. Thank you love it is always a blessing to me that I have such wonderful friends Thank you for being one of them dear heart Take care love as always Bubbles Paula love, thank you and you will always have the key dear heart. And I thank you for it truly. And this phoenix just had a droop in her wings yesterday. But they are ready to fly again. Thank you for you love always Take care love as always Mushy Kethry dear heart, how did I ever manage without one of my phoenix sisters. My wing commander. You are always guaranteed a place in my heart, my sister and my friend love. Thank you always for being the one who always knows what I need. Take care love Slushy Kari love, and don't I know it. That's right love I know I can't and being my favourite beaming sister I wouldn't want to love. From my friends there is no hiding my heart and I wouldn't want too. Mama was right without a spirit of loving and giving I'm not really living. Thank you always for you dear heart Take care love Majestic loving Marsha Kit love, thank you, this was me trying to convince myself that I can be tough. I can't but I like to pretend I can. Thank you always love. Take care love as always Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Oh, honey, there is nothing wrong with getting a little extra back bone once in a while to get the worlds attention! We all feel stepped on at one time or another. I would have liked to see your workers faces when they read this!! Keep a little of your new found spunk and keep them guessing. I loved this poem and plan to print it out, OK? Hugs, ME |

Thank you love it is much appreciated Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Dee love, Thank you, yes those that know me truly understand that I simply cannot be tough for very long, but occasionally I like to flame the air around me just to remind everyone that I'm not always tame. It does work too. And it does wonders for me too, it's very energising. Thank you Dee dear heart, always you encourage me, and I know I don't deserve it. But one day I might do.
