...sorry Marge, couldn't pick one title so used all...jimmy

When God Gets Done With Me


Whispers of Dawn -
Butterscotch Sky touched with crimson and blue,
sun's first rays Across A Field Of Lilacs Spread
flowing in waves of wind to the tracks below


Mamma, Get Off That Train,  I prayed
you've forgotten to take my gift for you
a Bakers Dozen of the things I've made
a collection of hearts all filled with love.

Be Not A Stranger To Love you said
First Love – First Kiss always the best
you didn't warn of the hurt I'd feel,
the Sentimental Shakedown when he said goodbye.

Please Take Me Back To Yesterday
to the day before I heard the words –
How Long Did It Take You To Get That Ugly, he said,
How Many Shades Of Green will you eventually be?

Mamma, Get Off That Train,
come back home and hold me tight
please tell me again how beautiful I'll be
When God Gets Done With Me.

Well done, hugs, Nancy.

This is a great Marge medley.

Now, just how is she to pick which category you are in?  LOL, Marge knows how to stir a cauldron and bring up some tasty stews!

Jimmy,
this is absolutely slendiferous. A collage of cuteness, a myriad of magic.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments my friends - I find EVERYONE participating has written very beautifully - Marge has inspired us all.

Just noticed too, I left off part of the very first line in here - it should read      "When Sunlight Falls, Whispers of Dawn - ".

Again, thanks and I look forward to seeing everyones efforts on one or all of the choices...
