Here I stand so alone.
I wonder if I`ll ever have a stable home.

People walk by and they don`t even smile.
So why should I feel my life is worthwhile?

No one looks or says a word.
Or if they did I had not heard.

I watch the birds as they fly by.
I have to ask myself why me why?

Then I realize I have a job to do.
Then I tell the crows to go away or I`ll get you.

I`m just a scarecrow all alone.
With only a cornpatch to call my home.

(sigh) Sooooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, my heart cries out to your lonely heart but I know deep down you will always be surrounded by many that love you and sparrows and doves of freindship will always perch upon your shoulders and greet you always with loves song! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, you are a delight to us all! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Juanita, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Juanita - It took me almost an hour for my computer to download your poem because of all the graphics.  I am really mad now.

Only you could make me feel bad for a scarecrow.  Great write.
