'keeping Up With Change'

What happened to the crossroad? I swear I spotted it here somewhere don't tell me you moved the goal posts again? I can't keep up with you - Changing the rules every time It’s demoralizing working towards something just to find out that opportunity don’t exist anymore don't play with me like a puppet master would - my feet refuse to move my arms don't know the difference between up and down anymore it's all good and well keeping me on my toes heaven knows one of these days even they will be no more... 030920112055

I hear you talking girl. Seems every time I get the game figured out they change the rules. Good job here. God Bless, JB Thanks for your comment on Crystal Creek. It was actually the first two lines to a whole poem. I posted it this morn. God Bless, JB :)

We do come to the crossroad but how to tell which way to go. Your verse describes so well the dilemma Wilma.

Being at a "crossroad" myself now, I can really relate to this poem, Wilma. Sometimes it seems we have no control over things that happen to us -- a puppet master appears to be interfering. The last verse just blew me away. To my faves, dear. Love you, Carolyn

crossroads have become super highways. It is raining here in in glorious waves the birds are playing and singing in the showers of blessings. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!

great thoughts Wilma. Got a chuckle out of your first stanza esp. still smiling over it . Will have to remember that one when talking to friends and repeat it so they will think how clever I am ! ha ha Good morning and have a good day Lady Wilma. Had to stop by and get my Wilma fix.
