* This is from the second book of poetry I've put together. I don't trhink I've ever posted it before...forgive me if you've seen it. Some people are born handsome a gift to all the world they show God’s grace upon their face their angel wings unfurled and some folks are born homely but love can make them shine they get the best from all the rest and everything is fine But you my friend are ugly you have a funny mug ears on your face, wide in their place best suited to a jug and eyes that are not matching that wander all around although they stare it is not clear just what it is they’ve found Yes you my friend are ugly except for when you smile except for where, you show you care and wow them with your style except for when you're laughing except for when you talk except for when you seethe or breathe except for when you walk I'll miss your smiles and laughter I'll miss the gracious way you shared the work and did not shirk I'll miss the things you say I'll miss the lunchtime talking the way you fixed my plug when life's a bore, one thing is sure I'll miss your funny mug. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

But you my friend are ugly you have a funny mug ears on your face, wide in their place best suited to a jug and eyes that are not matching that wander all around ~*~ This reminds me of what someone once told my father...and we all had a wonderful laugh!  |

AwKethry~ Thank you so much for this piece ... I know we only met for a short while ... but, it's nice to remember that you remember my smile~ Just knowing that you care for me is a treasure beyond compare ... You see which eye is winking and you don't even stare~ I love you too, my funny friend our friendship is solid ... until the very end ... (and THEN, I'm coming back to haunt you !)  *HUGLETS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

is this Kethry from so long ago who departed for what seemed too long, and then I departed for perhaps much longer? Do you remember me at all? I have one on page two, Autumnal Mist that is an extremely recent one for me...like this week, in fact. VAS More later after I've taken in your poem here. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Some people are born handsome a gift to all the world they show God’s grace upon their face their angel wings unfurled and some folks are born homely but love can make them shine they get the best from all the rest and everything is fine Siyo Kethry I have met many who had sweet handsome faces and the heart of evil,beauty only lasts a short while,but goodness lasts forever!

Yes you my friend are ugly except for when you smile except for where, you show you care and wow them with your style except for when you're laughing except for when you talk except for when you seethe or breathe except for when you walk Sounds like true beauty to me. *S* I like this very much! *S* |
