OK, this was not easy for me, so I picked two. The first one was beacuse of something my Mom said to me. (the first two lines) She was right. I wrote it on 3-19-88 The second one came to me so fast it was as if someone else was telling me what to write. I felt like I couldn't get it down fast enough. It makes me feel happy. I wrote it on 4-11-00. Hope you like...  Don't rush your destiny or it may pass you by give fate a chance soon enough you'll know why Why it took so long why the other's weren't right why we were meant to fall in love on this special night. --------------------------------------------------- You wouldn't believe the Mom I've got skipping by I ask what's cookin'in the pot? Smiling she says why, it's Bumble Bee Stew I'm making it special my girl, just for you Are you crazy Mom?! Or just going mad? Bumble Bee Stew I surely have never had My silly girl it's a witches brew every young witch loves Bumble Bee Stew Well how do you make it? Can you tell me that? And if I'm a young witch dear Mom, where ever is my hat? A young witch does not wear a hat my child did you forget your sweet black cat? I have a black cat yes, this is true but Mom, how do you make Bumble Bee Stew? It's a secret- one day I'll share with you and together we'll make Bumble Bee Stew. |

SEA-GIRL these are great... i love the wisdom of the first one and the sweet whimsy of the second one... thanks for sharing this for the challenge!! later-sea-gator jm I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Don't rush your destiny or it may pass you by give fate a chance soon enough you'll know why Why it took so long why the other's weren't right why we were meant to fall in love on this special night. You may have written it some time ago but words such as these are ageless. I like the second one too, it just seems to bounce along, it's fun. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |
