Only Forty

Even though each day should be welcomed
knowing the alternative,
still breathing in each of those old adages,
sometimes Pandora's box has been left ajar
letting an escape jam up the bridge of hope
that arises in early morning thoughts.

Isn't that the truth. I know how discouraging it is. But, don't give up. Hang in there.

effectively expressive, emotive 'write!'

it's good that some still see a 'bridge of hope' at all!

applause!

"knowing the alternative" ~ Yes, that is what I have to remind myself, when "All is NOT well!"  Let's keep that thought!

Loving hug,

Well darn....seems there are traffic jams every where one goes.  I hope you have a radio and can turn up the music, and dance.  Hugging you!

not Pandora's box
that raises up our hopes
you must look within

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Never let anything jam up the bridge of

hope for really things are never as bad as

they seem. Keep the chin dear lady for we are all batting for you. Take care.

I know how difficult it can be at times,
when a time of year faces us and we are
ill prepared for it, for the mood of it and
for something that we have lived without for
some time....the companionship that so much
is craved....and, in spite of your efforts,
so well written.  Hang in there M....you
will get there....
