Powerful Smile By Larry Chadwick He did it with a smile that I misunderstood, I gave to him my trust because I thought I could. But I misread the smile upon his powerful face, And mistakenly I found my confidence was misplaced. My error nearly proved to me to be fatal, I would have reclaimed my choice had I been able. So when a lion shows his teeth to you, Don’t assume that he is smiling too. July 1, 2002 Show you care to those you love...today. |

No doubt, the cat was glad to see you. Probably thought you were lunch. Fun write, Larry. Note to self--Not everyone who smiles has my best interests at heart. Shenachie |

The last two lines are a variation on an African saying I heard today on the radio. Shenachie, Boy ain't that the truth! And thanks.  Sue, Yup...ya' do! Thanks. Duncan, That explains a lot! And thanks. Keith, Thanks. And nice to see another Arizonan in here. Glad to meet you and I'll look for your work. Welcome, I hope you like it here as much as me. Show you care to those you love...today. |
