One person I really admire, Is a gal up on a high wire. The bravest I’ve met, She’s using no net. When she performs, she lights my fire.

Up on her tippy-toes the bold gal goes - Walking the hire wire, pretty as a rose - Not a sound is heard - For fear of the worst - As she reached her goal raucous cheers arose…… Belle

You've been there and seen that, haven't you. Thanks for the flashback in my memories, Belle. Merry Christmas, my friend. Bill

'Come on, baby, light my fire?' How sweet your reply to Sara, Bill... as she should be. Hugs to both of you.

that's one brave woman alright! Perhaps she's also living her life without a safety net? You're pretty witty today!
