when we lose what we love it is a lot like death so I went to a store to purchase some joy I thought it overpriced so I bought pleasure instead I needed some sunny skies and some clabbered clouds after taking a very deep breath I looked all around made sure no one was looking and pilfered a reproduction of your smile went home put on a oldie but a goody sad song placed your smile on the mantle cried to the words of the songs and passed yet another day ©March 16, 2018 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Wonderful piece, my friend - one feels the love and the loneliness. Up at the top of your writing... (to me anyway). jimmy [This message has been edited by jwesley (10-25-2018 05:43 PM).] |

More depth to this than meets the eye. This could be a hit song here in Texas. Nice flow in your words. JL  |

This really is a special piece Jerry. He is right, it would make a good country song. You never cease to amaze. ~L |

I think you wrote about me today or at least this is how I felt. I might have to start writing again....always enjoy reading you. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Thanks Moss. Why'd you ever stop writing? You can get rid of a lot of stuff that is causing you pain. But you know that. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
