It Was One of Those Mornings

Apprehension had me really nervous Was I headed for my funeral service They wheeled me to the operating table To cut me open and my heart disable Would this morning be my last sunrise As tears rolled out the corners of my eyes ___________________________________ I saw my image smiling back at me Glass window to the baby nursery My daughter was the cutest of them all October morning in the early fall Only a babe I saw her years ahead More tears of joy, have I ever shed March 13 2016 by Daniel Turner

Working on WHAT?? All I know is this worked for me. In Ireland we say Rothar Mhor an tSaoil, meaning the The Big Bicycle of Life, meaning circle of life. A bit like this poem.

Jean Murray

the Iambic Pentameter . This is what I was takling about Daniel. Is it Double Dutch? I always say why drink tea when you can drink wine?

Daniel Turner
Date: 3/13/2016 5:24:00 PM

She said write a poem about your worst morning then write one about your best morning. That's what I did. You crack me up. Just what exactly do Irish lasses put in their "tea". Peace my dear, Love you:)
