(I'm going to be gone for a week starting Friday and wanted to do one more post before I left...pardon the sing song quality of this one, a bit too much rythym maybe for I can't hardly read it without almost singing it) Rode Hard And Put Up Wet She’s been rode hard and put up wet She may be tired, but she ain’t done yet She’s been knocked down, she’s been abused Felt a bit neglected and a little used But she’s not defeated, she’s still got her pride A little worse for wear, but still dignified She knows how to laugh and she knows how to cry And she still knows how to hold her head up high If you play your cards right and treat her good You’ll find she’s just a little misunderstood You might find something that you’re looking for Might see that her heart is an open door For she knows how to live and she knows how to love And if you win her heart, you’ll thank the stars above For she’ll make you happy, be your hearts desire And with her tender loving , light your heart on fire Yes, she’s been rode hard and been put up wet But she’s a true romantic and she ain’t done yet ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |

Well first of all the titled grabbed me hook, line and sinker. Sing-songs OK by me, moved it right along. This was very enjoyable. Like an old worn leather jacket. The best kind! |

Well thank You Andrew...I worried about posting this particular piece because of the so obvious rythym, but I like the meaning behind it and it speaks volumes about my frame of mind right now. ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald |

Not a bad frame, and the picture from what I can tell is pretty to look at. Have a peaceful week! |
