A Turning Point By BluesSerenade & Larry Chadwick What do you want to write about?" she asked. And he said "whatever makes you smile," and she said to "go ahead and write another line," and he said "I think innocence is overrated." While pondering that simple fact, she said innocence is the foundation of our hopes and dreams an accumulative investment over time and the small pleasures taking place in our lives. Unlike fairy tales it remains a part of our story sprinkling glitter that spans the heart like handmade gifts we give unto others. What do YOU want to write about she asked and he said, whatever makes you laugh and she said, that's my line and he said, beauty is overrated She said, beauty is thick skinned and misunderstood, serving to preserve what lies beneath clouded by the shadows of doubt a wistful rustling, falling like autumn leaves. He said “he'd be willing to reconsider“ and she asked herself what it was they were writing about nevertheless, they were drawn to each others innocence and beauty and she wondered if it was as good for him as it was for her. And he said “I love your beauty but personally I prefer your innocence,” and she whispered under her breath, yes! June 18, 2003 [This message has been edited by Larry C (06-28-2003 09:02 PM).] |

Well it's just my "educated" guess--but? I suspect Larry wrote this line: "I think innocence is overrated" Well, just because he would.  This does have a fragility to it, and it does speak of beauty and innocence. I applaud the both of you, and yes, Blues, glad you stuck around, lady! and Lar? you rogue, you!  to y'both! |

Martie, As is my Bluesie partner. And thank you. Ratleader, Cool. And on top of all those nice things it was fun. Karen,  You're on to me! And yes I did. But you know what all the wisdom came from the Bluesie one.  Wind, Really? Cool! And thanks. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Bluesie, Hey sweet one. I must say you have a creative and wise muse. And you are an excellent duet partner. Thank you, thank you.  JM, Awww. I like that. Friendship is such a rich gift. No wonder I feel so wealthy. Seems it is partly your fault! And thank you. littlewing, Am I missing it completely. I thought she was innocent. Sheesh. And thank you. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Edder, Cool! Because it was fun... And thanks. Bluesy, So do we need some PR spin or what? LOL You're the best. Ethel, Thanks for the hugs and the kind words. Susan, Yup Bluesy is the wise one. I can't write like that. But you already knew that. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
