 I'll stay with you
through endless time

be the strength
of your every day

a guiding light
that will shine in dark

on these roads
where others stray

this love I hold
will warm the tears

of the days 
that come to be

with hope I'll watch
my flowers bloom

in the winds 
on which they play

I liked this one myself, and am happy to hear you liked it also. and I am happy you slowed down a little, I know one week I baby sat every day, and all the kids had colds and thats been two weeks ago, and I'm still sick. so I am as the song says, running on empty. yesterday, I took my grand-daughter to apply for a position, as a volunteer at a children's museum, here in town. so I did that in the morning, and we were back at her house at 11:45 am, I had a sandwich and fell asleep in the chair and woke up did that several times, and finally got on the road home, about 18 miles, and when I got home sat on the chair in the kitchen, and fell asleep, sharon woke me up to feed me dinner, close to 6:00 p.m,and I ate then fell asleep in the same chair I got up in the dark and heard the t.v. and it was about 8:35 so I came in and had a short conversation with Sharon and that I did not believe I had slept so long then ...I fell asleep. woke up on the couch and It was dark and rather cool so what did I do ?? went to sleep slept all night and woke up 7:00 am. I was stunned, I better say hello and good bye and send a quick hug and kiss. sorry for rambling. John

It's been a little while since we have written, and I'm happy to see your still out here. and will stay for quite awhile if people don't like what they read, then I say don't read it, I suppose we could ramble on forever, but life's to short and I say, cast ye away devil, go play on the freeway with the others that can't play right, keep my site holy, let my dreams advocate my own awe and decadence, preform my poems like a play in this mind, with the hope and good tidings expected, as do all on this site. each poet is different, than the other, no one knows all there is about poetry, and the awe each one brings away from the reading of the writing each one presented for all to read, I am not in search of anyone's approval, just a lowly acceptance, opinions are great and i listen to all, but as always, it is my decision to revise or change, any or all. [ CHOICE vrs OPINION. so my little grasshopper, on to bigger and better things.so thanks for your opinion, my treat and we will talk soon. Mantisepter. TIME WELL SPENT>>>>>IS PUT TO GOOD USE.........
