deal the cards, I'm taking on the rest of my life chance, luck circumstance fortune, fame fellows follow games of chance, chances are, luck's all hollow (can you spell capricious?) you make what you take you give when you live c'mon, explore with me… take my hand come prance with me… (come and say: visionary luminary) there's still mystery there's still a sunrise to see there's still stars that shine and always a line to rhyme (what it's like to be so inclined) you can laugh say it's "no good" head of wood be misunderstood go ahead… I'll feel for you be sorry for you but you've the clue to get ahead LIFE! gotta love it don't care for the alternative ~ not quite ready yet ~ want to smile can't wait the while to LIVE! OK, so I'm UP! wrote once upon a time all about falling UP… what fun in rhyme, to be fantastical, life's BEGUN (let's go off and be whimsical) c'mon with me! you can smile through misery when you see where you could be (see the Cat in his Hat who brought a rhyme of That to be mixed with This come and get your Kiss) now lift, c'mon come lift UP with me the heart~worn the weary the sad those less cheery and nay the nay~sayers slay the dragons of misery come along and play with Puff and Me… (and be the child with me be the wild with me see this side of me and make the smile wide of me) make my smile last awhile then see the smiles all around gone are the frowns lift a crying child help the meek go wild hear the laughter sparkling remarkable to think this has come from you and me as we sing songs of silly as we wheel the willy-nilly all along this day (and Michael, the angel that he is, lifts his wings and sets to joy all the hearts that are his) and when the sun then sets lest we not forget to give thanks one more time for having strived to live in rhyme with time come and be nonsensical just once with me the cards are dealt, it's our hand life can live at our command take a stand at your wish, it would be grand… Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Hey, Sunshine girl, just count me in! Let's deal those cards so we all win! Let's play it like it should be played 'Cause no one likes to play Old Maid. There's always one more song to sing, Some road to travel...bell to ring. Our lives are filled with poems to write, Things to fill us with delight... We cannot find the things we crave By waiting to embrace the grave Let's hear the music...dance each dance Life won't give a second chance So deal those cards....let's play a hand The sky's the limit - ain't life grand!?!?! What a wonderful poem to start the day, sunshine. This one jumps off the page with its optimism and joy. WONDERFUL!! and you won't believe this but Michael is one of my favorite saints, too!!!...ain't that amazing??? |

Kit, every once in a while, we need to throw out our arms, spin, and say...wheeeee, see, just like Sven is doing...well, no, Sven spinned another time, now he is woo-hooing...which also needs to be done any time 'Deer starts stacking the deck... oh my, I'm getting caught up in UP again.... and 'Deer? GREAT response! You knew it would make me {~,^}... didn't you? < !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
