I sit here thinking of love and all it holds and all it doesn't took me a long, long time to fall I mean really fall I have memories of those I thought I loved but never did still . . . they are memories some good, some not so good I think what I have to do is whittle memory down into something small enough to fit in my pocket ©December 31, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Hows your coffee Jerry? Remember that song that was written before we were born? Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket and save it for a rainy day. You might end up with a pocket full of starlight one day. ~Victoria |

Ahhh . . . The coffee is s-o-o-o good, and yes I remember "Catch a Falling Star," and I don't think it was written before I was born, I know Perry Como made a hit out of it in 1957, the year I enlisted into the Air Force. So I have a few years on you, my dear. Thank you for your gracious comment and I'm hoping you are right and I wind up with a pocket full of starlight before everything is said and done. Thanks again, Victoria. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

You betcha, Bruce, coffee and stars in my pocket makes for a well-rounded day, I do believe. Thanks for stopping by. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I understand your whittling down memories to be more easily handled, and in that I can only disagree, my friend. I am, at times, worried I will forget; so I try to keep them in buckets, and barrels and boxes so I can take them out on occasion and examine the how's, why's and the crossroads in time. But I did enjoy your write, JP. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Whadda you know? After all this time we finally find something we disagree on. And I do disagree completely. My memories are getting too crowded. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
