Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2005-03-01 06:49 AM



I am cautious and curious
I wonder where the world turns next
I hear the snow faling in June
I see the camerbert moon reflected in her eyes
I want the world of happiness for my kids
I am cautious and curious

I pretend there are nights in white satin
I feel Santa Claus lied
I touch the velvet softness of the night
I worry the injuries won't heal
I cry at the tears of children
I am cautious and curious

I understand changes aren't permenant
I say your thoughts guide you home
I dream the big win in life
I try to understand the struggles
I hope the fight is in honor
I am cautious and curious


This was interesting... maybe I'll have my daughter, Stottbear try it

The challenge is at: /pip/Forum7/HTML/000645.html

My original is at: /pip/Forum80/HTML/003725.html


In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain

I like this "new" repost, Ringo!
Very good, and yes, Stottbear should
give it a go, and see how she grows!

"cautious and curious"

smiling and nodding

I'm at war with myself too, sweets.

Thanks for bringing this around again.

I pretend there are nights in white satin

I used to do that, too... now I feel I'm turning into one of those bedsitter people who look back and lament. *S*

I like this very much! *S*
