Ménage

Don’t fight inevitable
but do not ever give in
to the tempt without the salve
better to twist in the wind

What pains more than one’s losses
an ache one never forgets
when love lies by another
and terms are some dear regret

~*~

My mamma always said,
don't let them that don't
know your pain, describe it to you.

My mother hated gossips.  
Truth be known, they don't
hold a lot of water with me, either.

~*~

Ménage.
If only hindsight
could pull all closer
to this.

In some where, a Walden moment
is bereft
for some laughter, embracing,
and warmth.

Sissie

Mah mamma always said,
don't let them that don't
know yuh pain, describe it to yuh.

My mom had so many sayings...that wasn't one of them, but I'm glad to know it and will remember.

My mother has a few sayings--most of 'em are silent and enough to chill the air.

My mother-in-law has more than a few--none of which would pass guidelines.



Happy Vernal Equinox, Sunshine! :squeezeL

These words.....and alla the words! You write truth always, and so very often, Truth.

I have been -- as you have known -- fighting the inevitable for a long long time. I've lost some vital rounds -- as you also have known -- but overall I have an ok record, don't I, and some good things to show for it?

Fighting the long defeat is worth doing someties.
