Just Clowning Around

Just clowning around
so try not to frown
 ———
In living this life
I’ve made mistakes
hard it can be
but here’s my take

Grow a backbone
don’t lose heart
be kind and gentle
friends never will part

Eclipse with love
those you hold dear
cause they will not be
evermore near

Search for small miracles
everyday
Give of yourself
And of your pay

Now I ain’t no Angel
No Sirree
I’ve eaten an apple
from Eden’s tree

Snakes did whisper
in my ear
always walk tall
showing no fear

A conundrum
I am
Bruised and broken
but if this was a ride
I'd sprout wings to fly

Haaa...

I read this one earlier and didn't comment... it was in the forum I think, couldn't vote... besides, I had a lot of work to do outside today... but now I'm done, or at least for today, and I get to vote first... Haaaa... you really have shown what getting into it can accomplish... writing that is, you are a gem here Jayne... keep it up! Richard
