We talked for length and recollected
Many happy things from youth.
You sang me Kermit’s rainbow song,
Now I think I know the truth.

You turned the corners of my mouth
Upward in your light.
When you sang to me like Kermit
I laughed so hard I cried.

That you would play the fool for me,
Just to hear my smile,
I feel like Heaven’s here on Earth
For at least a little while.

It takes a real friend
who will sit on a fence
and sing a love song...

I couldn't resist reading this, I must admit when I saw "Kermit" in your title I was intrigued...I Love Kermit the frog, and talking in his voice and it cracks my boyfriend up.  I enjoyed this, it was sweet and it made me smile..

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Laughing together, what a bliss!

This is so sweet and tender, dear Jo.

Love, Margherita



of course I had to find out who this Kermit was ...

Hi Jo - good to see you here and hear you smiling!  I guess we can't ask for more if our growing pains end in a smile and the moral of the story is ... keep growing - a smile awaits.  Take care.
