I'm writing out my shopping list For mine would be a life of bliss If purchase of all these name brands Could ease some of this world's demands. A case of JOY's my first request And then, perhaps, some bars of ZEST They promise more than cleaning power For kitchen sink and morning shower. The dirty laundry shall ride out upon the morning TIDE, and one swipe of WINDEX sublime shall wipe away the window grime. I'm out of GATORADE, forgot to remind the MINUTE MAID, but will call her after taking my DETROL, so I don't have to go right now. I cruise the rice aisle for SUCCESS Back to the soaps for a CARESS I'd love a BOUNTY of good CHEER To banish pain and erase fear. Is it too much that I should wish ALL crime and war would just VANISH? I hope we see a brighter DAWN Before they write on my TOMBSTONE. Kacy Stafford & Ruth Gill Thank you, Midnitesun... I truly appreciate you honoring me with your skills. *S* |

wranx: The cashiers all shuddered. LOL It certainly was fun to write... glad you liked. Thank you! *S* Martie: Grocery shopping is the one shopping trip I enjoy... c'mon along... we'll have fun. *S* Thank you! angelblueyes: I don't think we could ask for more than to give a smile... thank you very much! *S* Midnitesun: Just send that MINUTE MAID this way, please... I've been neglecting my chores! LOL I do thank you very much, lady... here's your poem, slightly revised to reflect finished product. *S* Longing Looks (Thank You, Midnitesun!) As a child there were many times I wanted to join in some play But my talents were limited And I was just in the way Kids have no thought for feelings But my gut always felt kicked When teams were chosen one by one And I was the last one picked Our family lacked the money For me to become a Girl Scout So I heard the giggles of classmates And I always felt left out I immersed myself in reading books And escaped into fantasy Where I wasn’t outside looking in And someone was there to choose me. I know I’m a long way from childhood But the ache was much the same When I saw all the pairings for duets And just stood watching the game. I worked up the courage to shyly ask For a partnering - that was no go Even knowing I was out of my league My confidence hit a new low. I give all of this explanation So you’ll know my thanks are sincere - That you would risk this joining Gave me both great joy and much fear But though I shook with trepidation I think you’re the best gal around Thank you for taking a chance on me I hope I didn't let you down! Thank you! *S* |

That is some tall order you two just filled! I'd love to go shopping with you! I could add a few things to that shopping list!--and then we could go out into the world spreading Cheer!  Entertaining write! & EA P.S. My grandmother's sister in California was the one who coined that phrase: "Cheer makes white things white and bright things brighter!"

 (smiles) Yay! Oh my gosh, I just love this, dearest friends, this is so very novel and eloquently and passionately declared, how hard can it possibly be to understand just what love is and start to work toward eliminating the stains, Downy and Lysol spray is not even enough to establising peace, we must all take part! (big hugggsssssss) This reminded me so much of a similar kind of poem I wrote, only using mall store names, you can find it here: /pip/Forum81/HTML/002193.html (big group angel hug) I just absolutely admire this and the both of you, into my library it belongs, we all love you both so much! You have such beautiful hearts, sweet Suthern and Kacy, thank you both for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
