A Silver dollar A silver dollar adds its weight Round my neck twenty-two its date My hand rubs the liberty head And will until my final bed. I hope to reach twenty twenty-two LOL I really do. But times I really have my doubts Like when I have a memory drought. It’s funny but I feel OK Just a little slower I’d say I can’t do flips or nips or dips But mentally I’m still a whip. I walk a little slower race I think it only shows a trace But who am I to judge the go It’s time and mirror shows the show. So I’ll pursue my merry do. And try and get to twenty-two. |

I walk a little slower race I think it only shows a trace But who am I to judge the go It’s time and mirror shows the show. I think for all throughout the years This quatrain brings alive our fears and thanks we give despite life's tears That we're still using eyes and ears Nicely written comment on life and a momento of it. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Today's the day when flipped in air a coin could land on edge and stare... and view into the future's clue... and certainly, to twenty-two... |

Oh, Seymour.....you can do anything you want to....just write it down on paper. I believe your words hold magic. I know that when my sister Enchantress reads this, she too will be thinking of that old song which had the words in it..."beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk with me.." It is whirling in my head now, as is your poem. Thankyou for this morning read dear poet. soft hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul.... -Emily Dickinson Oh dear..I didn't mean that YOU wanted to walk with beautiful girls...ummmm...oh my...no, no, you have your lovely wife. Oh heck..Enchantress come get me out of this one!! [This message has been edited by Nightshade (12-21-2002 10:18 AM).] |

SY, you know that even though not as much water has flowed under my bridge of life, it still has the same taste, and I can relate well to your words...2022 should be a very good year. |
