Start Where You Are ~*Marge Tindal*~  Do not be tempted to jump, when reaching for that star. To get where you're going you've got to start where you are. You've got to start where you are to know where you've been. Sometimes back-tracking to take it all in. No shortcut is longer than one fraught with tears. Take it one step at a time and your goals will be near. Remember to take the time to smell roses on the way, skip a little rope, glean a little hope and soon you'll hold the star rays. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

What wonderful advice. I know that sometimes I forget that in order to get where I want to go, I have to take it a step at a time and have a little fun on the journey. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful poem! |

So true. So true. Marge, you make the truth of life and survival sound as easy as skipping rope. What a joy. Only Marge could pull that off Liz |

Marge, To start where I am this moment responding to this wonderful poem, the only logical next step would be to go back and track all the other marvelous poetry you have graced this home of ours with. The roses that will envelop my journey filling it full of fragrance will delight me as much as your poetry. For each poet here has at least one fragrant masterpiece to delight one's senses. |

Marge, you truly are a dear woman - one with a big heart, and so full of wisdom. Thank you for sharing that with us in such beautiful poetry....I really appreciate your understanding and kindness. It does not go unnoticed. You are a saint. Thanks also for that heartfelt reply you gave me earlier, for it touched my old heart, and made me smile! (such a critter...) LOL |

Did I see a Star Did I see where you are I guess I did You will always shine for me Beautiful and so wise your poem Marge The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

I think that Marge is holding the stars rays and directing them on those she loves. |
