I just noticed today that my mother-in-law has registered here. I wanted to post this poem to welcome her to our midst. There are some lines here that plea for all of your welcomes. I know it is not necessary and that you will treat her as part of the family but these are the words that came to me. Oh...By the way...her Passions handle is Grandma Jo. To Grandma Jo I welcome you To Passions place Enjoy the view Such talent flows Within this place So many friends With out a face To show your work And add your grace I'll watch for you I won't disgrace Mother-in-Law Now that is you Don't watch me as I run askew I terrorize And run amuck The people here Think I'm a smuck Seriously You'll love this place There's so much fun And so much faith Such friends abound Much love around No better place Is to be found To everyone This is my plea This Grandma Jo Is dear to me Please welcome her So pleasently With open hearts She's family I love you Jo. |

Come and join us, Grandma Jo. We can put on quite a show. If you're as good as Marilyn There is no doubt you'll fit right in. She's spoke your name a time or two To say she thinks the world of you And, hey, that's good enough for me Enjoy our home of poetry!!! |

As soon as I see her I'm gonna pounce on her and hug her neck and, and, and....nah I will be very courteous to her and welcome her properly. She sounds like a great lady Marilyn. I promise I won't scare her off LOL Really like the tribute you wrote. You seem to have a great love for her. Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R. Holder Boise, Idaho |

Belle I thought you LIKED Toerag's faced - I gotta sid with you, though - that family peekshure he passes around is downright sacreligious - lol. As for you Jo, wherever you may be. Welcome to the Forum. If you are worried about being possibly too old for this crowd, you are likely not even close to the age of some of us. So cut loose and have fun. Post to your heart's delight, and don't think twice about taking light-hearted shots at Balladeer and Toerag (naturally, I am too saintly to earn jestful remarks *haughty self-serving sniff*). Also, let me be the first to give you a... *reproachful lecherous welcome hug* We all look forward to reading your posts and gleaning wisdom from the lessons of your life. You are among friends. Marilyn, I enjoyed your poem and I think it was wonderful how you introduced us to your Mom (in law). That is class! |

Wow! Many thanks to all of you especially Marilyn who is the dearest of my heart. I have been reading these forums and enjoy the poetry and stories so very much. I am not online very often but when I am I always look in here. You all sound like a fantastic family of friends. Thanks for the welcome and I'll be posting soon. |
