I'M Going Away

I’m going away for a while Life seems to have stolen my smile Some of you I will miss so much Maybe later we’ll get in touch In Cyprus my daughter I'll see T'will bring joy to sorry old me I won’t have much time to be here But some of you I’ll still hold dear I seem to have lost some desire Due to the mishap with the “fire” Not so proud of what I have done So I’ll escape to have some fun My heart is made of marshmallow Bruises by gal or by fellow Don’t worry, it’s just for a time Maybe later I’ll try to rhyme But for now, it is surely goodbye Hope to see you all by and by.

I hope just a very creative and expressive work and not what has happened in life..If you are going to visit your daughter, I hope that you enjoy your visit..You maybe can access soup from her computer..Sara

Thanks, Sara. The little misunderstanding has been cleared. I'm in a better place. Thanks for the love and care. It means a lot to me. No internet at my daughter's place. Student flat. I'm online here at my dad's place. Sending hugs!

I got a bit discouraged, Jack. On many levels. Hard to explain. I will be back, I'm sure...I need a weeks holiday with my daughter in Cyprus. Need to clear my head and get recharged. I'm drained! Will see you on the other side. I look for your name too! Hugs! Thanks for the lovely post!

I will, my dear. It's just that life has been hectic recently what with having to correct final exams, essays and the like. I have to get ready for the new semester and I just need a break! I probably won't be able to stay away, but...just in case...love ya!
