Life was so perfect but wasn't it all dull. One day much like another and no pull. Then my eyes were open for I had a taste. It was like everything before was a waste.
I saw you for the first time in my mind. You were made for me; One of my kind. In a split second everything became new. There wasn't just me; For there was you.
Life had gained meaning; I noticed you. You had changed; I had changed, too. Strangers in paradise we had become. We had erred together; Wasn't it fun.
The garden had became so very small. We had a taste; But we wanted it all. Innocence was gone but love replaced. Because of our sin we became disgraced.
But I still had you; You meant much more. What could be greater than the lady I adore? We share a common bond; Heaven can wait. I am just glad I knew you before it was too late.
Dear Tech Support, Thanks for you information. I don't know what I would have done without your support. The only thing that bothers me is this information has come late to me. I have installed Flowers 3.1-the Venus Flytrap-in hopes that it will help. I have modified Clean and Sweep 3.0 to make a new program, CleanSweep 3.5. I am using it as a backup with Wife 1.0.
I give back to my community. I hold down a job and taxes are paid out. I pay my back support which will be paid in full in two months. I haven't killed any of my neighbors or any of my family. I try to help the new comers at meetings because I was helped when I was a new comer. I try to help the little old ladies by giving them dignity, privacy and try to treat them like I would like to be treated at the nursing home.
I love my dog, Mo even though he killed everyone of my chickens and I love my dog, Crazy even though she completely destroyed my sleeping bag. I loved my cat even though she was ran over by the speeding drivers on this road. It is easier for me to love animals than humans.
Really nice rendition, Vicki. It is nice to build a poem from a topic or to later build a topic from a poem. I like the way your poem incorporates a higher power. There are sometimes that we can't depend on ourselves and there are times when we can't depend on others. Having a plan that two can go by promotes equality. God is love and love is God. When you put love first everything else just falls into place. Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That Soloman in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
A new thing that I have come to realize in extremism is pride and shame. They can be polar opposites. Pride can get one too high and shame can get one too low. I like to stay on an even keel. I have went from far right to far left. I have got too high and I have got too low. I guess being centered is a form of balance to.
We have been doing this new thing at our meetings lately. When one reads from the preamble we all say the 'we' word together. It really makes us feel the spirit of unity.
I was thinking of something that would stretch so to add comfort for those all nighter events. I appreciate any comments to see if it might be a profitable venture. I am not sure how many men would wear the clothing to begin with.
One of our aides has a mother who specializes in maternity wear called Beautiful Bellies Maternity Wear. I was thinking of starting a shop called Beautiful Bellies Paterniy Wear for guys with beer guts. I just thought I would get some feedback before I startd such a venture.
I like the country. I used to couldn't wait to leave it. I was bored to tears but eventually I got into fishing and camping. I thought when I got to the city I would be happy but was I wrong. It was like a concrete and asphalt jungle. I didn't like it. I like the simple life. Since technology has changed so much it has even affected the country. They took out the party lines, we got electricity and real running water that you don't have to run to well to draw. We got glasses instead of dippers and glass fruit jars. You can have satellite dishes even though the cable doesn't run through this rural area. We got chainsaws and you don't have to pipe sunlight in, lol. Who knows some day this area might even join the rest of civilization.
The Red Junglefowl, Gallus gallus is a tropical member of the Pheasant family and the direct ancestor of the domestic chicken. It was first raised in captivity at least 5,000 years ago in India, and the domesticated form has been taken all around the world as a very productive food source for both meat and eggs, which some breeds have been specifically developed to produce.
I thought so, too. I am planning to keep the Rocky and the Banti roosters. I am thinking of frying up the Homburgs. I never heard of a Homburg chickens before anyways. I was hoping to trade some roosters for some hens but so far no takers. Yeah, I am glad I let them out. Nature might do some choosing for me in the survival of the fittest. Would be nice to have some farm fresh eggs.
Oh, I know what you mean about the Rocky. Mom had one when I was growing up that took on our hound dog. Rockies like to go after a dog's nose. We had to bandage the dog's nose but he never chased any more chickens. I have noticed two big crows this morning and have been looking to see even any chicken hawks come by. I have been told to cut down the amount of roosters since I have nine hens and eight roosters. My schnauzer is a great watch dog because he will bark a lot when a stranger comes to the door but he isn't a good guard dog because once they come into the door he runs and hides behind the couch.
