I didn't steal the bride,
I didn't sack the town,
I didn't burn the church,
the priest is still alive,
how much I let me down,
in so many ways
this is the worst of times
in which to spend a life,
I miss the longboat years
of blood and take
and pillage all,
the constant strife
screaming Odin's name.
I watched the sunrise
and realized
my 401(k)
just is not the same.

Thrill is not quite
what our forefathers knew...

but keep writing...

Quit holding your poems
for ransom...

publish.

Your 401(k) will thus
be duly supplemented.

LOL, like the famous Yogy Barra said,
"It ain't over till it's over." Enjoyed.

I didn't steal from work.
I didn't gossip about them.
Maybe I decieved the stork,
But it was for me not him.
I have missed years of my life.
Didn't want to see constant strife.
Now I am awake.
I'll absorb all one can take.

(sigh) Ironic it truly is that there is more drama than ever in this heartaching world yet there's not enough denouement! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we need just a pinch of suspense, it has just bubbled far over, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
