(This is a poem about what my friends Yairha, Claudia and Sephian are going through right now. Life can be hard and this is proof of it.) A young mother is left by her husband Left to raise 4 children alone She screams everyday, "I have a headache." The children scream, "Momma, Momma" But nothing she can do about it Getting slapped around by the hands of time A young woman moves to Florida from England to get married Within 6 months her marriage is disenergrating All she gets is verbal abuse But now her husband is gone And she is homesick Getting slapped around by the hands of time A young man is down in Mexico The woman he loves is here in Florida He wishes he was with her But he is stuck there until the end of the year Getting slapped around by the hands of time Getting slapped around by the hards of time Is the hardest thing in life More so than anything else Cold hands means a warm heart |

A true life poem, Julie...with a very intriguing title... I think we all get slapped around by the hands of time... and those hands go faster and faster as we get older too!  ~ hugs juggling the hoursLyra |

Julie hi there Thank goodness mum had Paul’s computer she could fall back on, I don’t know how she would have managed without it. Maybe now she will treat it a little better when it returns to her desk. Wonderful writing I’m so glad I got the opportunity to reply to you, you are one of my favourite writers and I always enjoy your writing, and this is exceptional, full of truth. As always Krissy   And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Very important to find the right one...and when you are young it seems like you have no idea what you are getting yourself into...you just want to believe in the power of love...and of course not easy to find the right one when you are getting slapped around by the hands of time...James |
