Choosing To Be Happy

Come, let's do anything but this Sit and speak of those we miss For I, the man filled with pride For you, the mom who held you inside We could share sorrows for hours this unrequited love that cowers Happiness waits around the bend Come, let's call the other friend By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, May 29, 2012 for 50 Words contest (Shaz Cheesman)

Very nice! I can say though I am one to sit and speak of those I miss....like when my hubby goes to drill....Since he is military I just have to be strong even when I would rather dwell on how much I miss him. Of course I wouldnt be able to do so with out the suport of people like you...I really felt your emotion in this poem! Thankyou for sharing! Jane

Hi Rhonda sweetie-- you are so kind, I'm afraid that I am cheating though :(-- I posted an old write-- written in April, in hopes l get inspired or something, no dice...so sweet of you to cheer for me, thanks :D I really like how this one flowed and of the message you give here and so cool how you fulfilled Shaz' 50 word limit here-- sometimes it is all a matter of choice, of how we choose to live our lives. Thank you as well for passing by my blog with your wonderful insights :D Hugs your way :D
