I Write For I do not write for fame and fortune, I write for kith and kin. I write for joy of living so perhaps I'll never win acclaim from scholars or those who are in charge of laurels, but poetry of mine will never compromise your morals. I write of God and country, of Mom and applepie, and I'd like to write a brilliant truth, sometime before I die. Joyce 5/6/03 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (05-06-2003 10:13 PM).] |

I love this, and yeah I think there's plenty of us here who would like to write a truth before our time is up!! Thanks for a good read! Love, Liz xxx "Gorge the honey from life, and live through the stomach aches knowing they will pass..." ~Liz Pinard 2003~ |

Joyce I absolutely loved this. And in my opinion, you win the hearts of all who read your words. And that's the biggest prize of all. I learned something today. 'kith and kin' An expression I had never heard or even seen before! Must not be an old Yankee saying!! Or if it is, not something said in my family. Either way, it's a great expression.

Hi: Kith is friends, and of couse kin is your kinfolks or relatives. I did not know it was not a universal expression. Love, Joyce [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (05-12-2003 04:39 PM).] |
