NEVER SAY "NEVER"!
~ Linda L. Dowd ~


You should never say “never”,
Nor should you say “should”.
You should not limit yourself,
And never say “could”.

“Could” implies “maybe”,
~ A “perhaps” at the best
You should never say “could”,
You should always say “Yes!”

You should never say "always",
It's absolutely finite.
You should leave your doors open,
So the wrongs can be right!

Never say “never”,
And never say “should".
You should always say “Yes”,
And never say “could”!

You should sometimes say "never”,
Or sometimes say “should”.
You should sometimes not limit yourself,
And sometimes say “could”.

Never?  Not ever? I would if I could.
If I knew this for sure, then that would be good!

Now see what you've started.  Love, Joyce

And then there are the soft absolutes that make life worth living... How many "I'll try"s are prompted by someone saying "I believe in you"? *S*

Excellent write, my friend! *S*

Earth Angel,

   So delighted to see your title and meaningful poem.  Once I thought I would write one with that theme, but forgot all about it.  I shoulda written it down--WHOOPS!

   A keeper to remember!

I'm a pretty positive person. If we manifest what we think, I might as well think happy thoughts!

Goodness gracious. This write of yours has a lot of meaning behind it. It's strong-willed. I love it. I am placing it in my library for future reference.

Thanks EA!

Kira ~

I was thinking about you just last evening! I was wondering where you had disappeared to again ~ and what and how, you were doing! ~ and voila! Here you are!

It pleases me, Dear Song of the Wind, that you enjoyed my poem and deemed it a keeper!

Good to hear from you!

I am up at what's called Glenmont Job Corps Academy. I'm getting ready to head into my trade. I'm to be training as a Certified Nurses Aide. I'm excited. I don't have much to write about right now but the many wanders of thoughts is reining inside my head. I'm doing...I wish I was lot better let's just leave it at that.

I'll talk to you later. You should definitely e-mail me. Blkrseptls@aol.com

Peace, Love and Happiness
