I saw some things today you`re not going to believe. i saw a mouse chasing a cat around a tree. While I was walking up the road. When lo and behold on a rabbit sat a toad. This is going to be fun I said to myself. When all of a sudden I heard a cry for help. I went running as fast as I could. A monkey was falling off a piece of wood. I picked him up and sat him on the ground. He said thank you ma`m I`m glad you were around. I saw a dog and cat having a cup of tea. Would you like a cup they sweetly asked me? I said no thank you and off I went. When farther up the road I saw a tent. I got a little closer and peeked inside. There was Roy Rogers and Gene Autry well dang my hide. I had a feeling the day was about through. When I heard someone say I`ve been looking for you. I looked around and there stood my brother Ray. Its been almost five years since he passed away. The tears started flowing down my face. He smiled and said isn`t this a beautiful place? He turned around and started to leave. Then he turned back and looked at me. I begged him please not to go. We all miss you and love you so. He smiled and said tell everyone I`m ok. I love you all and we`ll be together again one day. ![]() Juanita "always have a smile on your face it makes people wonder what you`re up to: [This message has been edited by N orth Carolina Girl (02-11-2002 01:26 PM).] |

Juanita, this is awesome. I read your poem and shed little tears I cried with laughter, inside my skin of fear For every little bug that ever crawled Flying with me in the sky as I bawled. This one truth, Juanita, I say to you We'll love together some day in the blue. Where spirits live and never ever die. And no one ever, ever, ever cries. Thanks Juanita, this is very beautiful. I love it!!! ((Juanita)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com Copyright: 2002 Newell Elsworth Usher [This message has been edited by Silver Streak (02-11-2002 09:57 AM).] |

This is really fabulous writing sometimes when you don’t expect it showers of moonbeams descend on you. They dropped like little twinkles of delight when I read this. Oh my eyes they are refreshed and my soul is washed in joy this is sooooooooo fabulous. YOU always treat my soul to sheer delight thank you Absolutely first class writing ![]() ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Mushy ![]() ![]() To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

a superbly woven poem here, Juanita. You lead the reader perfectly through pieces of happy fluff right into a sledgehammer ending and leave the reader saying, "What happened?"....fantastic work! ![]() |

Juanita....I bet Ray would have really loved this poem. You are a very special person. Only a very special person could combine humor and death and come up with a lovely poem. ![]() copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Dear Juanita, I was grinning and thinking you belong on the funny farm for sure, and then it was like I walked into a wall. I'm stunned, and I started to cry, but I can't cry here, you know. So I blew my nose, and I'll carry on. You've outdone yourself on this one. Nan |
