"The work of the tiller bears fruit
the heist of the thief bears loot,"
there's the couple that takes an oath of honour
and the sitcom starring the late Carroll O'Connor.

The way you make your bed is how you sleep
when in the sack, remember: get up for a leak;
young kids decide to peep in on parents in bed
you decide on marital life once you are wed.

Drifted away to lands of choices ready made
feared Stalin Europe with its red brigades;
Are the Gulags gone, revamped with free trade.
is peace from a cake mix, add water, ready made?

"My son, still hopeful of the world of tomorrow?
You married, raised kids, they chose to borrow;"
with loans and mortagages they soon spread far and wide
their debts began to stifle, poor credibility
would ride.

Hard work bears fruit of different kinds
some exotic picks have the thickest rind,
"The way you make your bed is how you sleep
now that said, get to bed, not a peep!"

(big hugggssssss) It is indeed a typical situation of life, and all the choices we make determine what our lifes will lead to every step of the way, and the effects of each one are inevitable! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

"The way you make your bed is how you sleep

That line is worth repeating a few more times.
You've got me thinking too hard ....again.
And that's a good thing...I liked this.
