This Little Rubber Heart

~*Marge Tindal*~

I found a little rubber heart
when I was at the mall.
Tiniest little thing it was,
bouncing against the wall.

I picked it up and squeezed it,
I swear I felt it shudder.
I put it in my pocket
and took it to me mudder !

Me mudder laughed and said to me,
"Share this heart with all you know."
"Each time that it gets thrown away
it will come bouncing back." ... and so

I will bounce this rubber heart
around this world and more
Catch it - Squeeze it - Share it !
Send it bouncing back ...
Encore !

I caught your little bouncing heart,
That you threw at your mudder?
It hit me square between the eyes,
I said swear words I can't utter!

I looked around to pass it on,
Someone in the corner caught my eye,
So, I threw that red rubber heart,
Yikes! I heard Sunshine yell, "Oh my!"

Oh My...is right!

Yanno I just can't stop can I, just can't leave well enough alone? ... *smiles*  

This was just absolutely so creative.  I loved the music you selected.  Marge, I will play catch with you any time!  I loved it!

Margie girl, I caught it and I'll be playing with this as much as I can today.

A little rubber heart my sister Margie threw to me
I caught it as it bounced on by it is a real beauty
It has so much resilience and yet it's soft and small
It's given me a smile and I'll give that to one and all
I'm going to pass it on send it bouncing on  and on
Today will be a special day filled with Margies song
This bouncing heart will lift and fly taking cares away
Margies heart will bounce on by thoughout this blessed day

Thanks Margie I need this so much

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim

What a beautiful pick me up.

I'll give it a big squeeze
then throw it above the trees
to someone else to please.
