How sweet, Jab...you were adored, it's clear. I wish I had known him, but knowing you, is knowing him, I'm sure.

I've had a rough day, Jawjaw. Your comment warmed my heart! Thank you!

If I were half the human being he was, I'd be very proud of
myself!

My condolences to all here who have lost their fathers on this their special day.

No jabber she was afraid of the water. I have a kiddy pool at home I am going to pull out so she can get use to being in shallow (6 inches deep) water to play. Then later in the summer try again.

Chatty,
She is so tiny, nobody can blame her for being afraid of anything. I'll bet the world looks awfully large from her
perspective.

GOT GERMS


Went to the dentist, to have my teeth clean,
Hygienist complained, assistant fled the scene.

When I asked why, she turned a bit red,
Looked a little weird, then shook her head.

The girl is as sick, as sick can be.
Thought whatever it is, hope it doesn't get me.

But a few bad germs, must've hung around,
For a virus has implanted, a rather huge frown.

Ain't nothin' like a summertime cold,
To turn bright skies dark, and make ya feel old.

Independence Day

I love Independence Day,
That's all I can say.

Love watching fireworks exploding in the sky,
And seeing people cookout, as I drive bye.

Love the typified freedoms being express,
Love honoring lives given, so others' may be blessed!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, everybody!

Oh my it seems we have deserted you jabber, as all the new poetry is yours. On another site they started something I am enjoying. You write a poem about a Fairy Tale but from another characters perspective, NOT the main characters. Mine was:

HUMPTY DUMPTY as told by the WALL

Anyway here is something for here.

WEATHER WOES

Remember not long ago when we griped about the cold,
now it's the heat thats sad story is being told.

We first had too much rain, and wanted it sunny,
are we people ever happy, weather is suppose to be crummy.

Maybe I'm crazy or just a bit odd,
I take it a day at a time, whatever temps caress my bod.

Today I'll go swimming in the waters so cool,
while others are out walking the Strip, God what fools.

I stay inside in bad weather no matter what it might be,
never allowing the nasty climate to play tricks on me.

So if you have the option to do exactly as you please,
stay inside when too hot, but especially when frigid,
or your patoot might freeze...

Chatty,
I thought about the snow and cold when I was posting about current heat wave. That's funny how your spirit picked up on that
thought! You are right! Stay inside when the weather is bad.
Loved the poem!

May the Good Lord bless the lives of my friends,
Let them be surrounded by sweetness and love that never ends.

Be healthy, dear hearts, and full of happiness,
Enjoy warm, gentle breezes, amongst tons of success.

Keep a firm grip, on the stronghold of hope,
For without hope, humans, they can't cope.

You're dear to me, each and every one,
Blessings to all, love life and have great fun!
