Chained to His Mood The taste of it in the air sometimes despair and on sunny Sundays a ride in the car car going for a ride in the car to the beach with bare feet Freckles his arms told this hold of sun but more the score he wept on weekdays with stone eyes that hurt me but Sunday was my window seat and the telephone pole watch of drowsy where the drain is open and the careful watch loosened Oh it felt so good to not have to be careful for almost a whole day The muted conversation background music to the sweet slipping away to dream and then the sand caught me in my beginning and in its end to distribute time in a picnic basket with peanut butter and jelly and warm milk from a thermos Run me to the waves daddy let me ride again on the shoulders of your love your Sunday love |

"Oh it felt so good to not have to be careful for almost a whole day" Wow! I don't remember a day like that. I think I may need one of those...but then who would sleep, listening, with one eye open? |

I don't remember...not one time....my father picking me up. My memories go back all the way to nursing and being unable to turn over -- and I don't remember a single time. I do remember those once-or-twice-a-summer days at Excelsior Springs, and they were glorious! You've done it again, Martie -- turned on the memory flood....but I wish I had that one to recall. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

"Run me to the waves daddy let me ride again on the shoulders of your love your Sunday love" Just plain "wow," Martie. What a vivid picture...and the mood, yes, you certainly captured a mood!  ....jo |

You write so vividly that even those of us who do not know this can feel it through your memories... Excellent! |

"Run me to the waves daddy let me ride again on the shoulders of your love your Sunday love" There are certain ones you write that make the swell of tears spill over.. this is one such write. Heart hugs sweet Martie. ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |
