Stop!


stop you, stop you
stop you grass!

I love your greening
I’ll let it pass.

But stop that growing
by leaps and bounds
I cannot keep up,
I’ve eas’ly found.

For I have computer
things to do,
I have to stop
and make a stew.

I also have to do some labor
and have some time
to sit and savor.

So my words
can come and go
and spark a poem,
oh, don’t you know?

So settle down,
and shrink a bit;
I’ll be there soon
so slow down some,
desist, desist!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Enjoyable but impractical. Well done.

(giggles in delight) Oh Virginia, I know just how you feel, I always love my lawn the way it is and when the crabgrass comes, it is all an adventure of its own to remove it all over again! (big hugggsssssss) This is a wonderful poem, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
