Almost a limerick, Jan. I do enjoy being alive but it is very difficult at times to smile and when I do to keep it there for others to you. Take care. / M

I hadn't noticed it as almost a limerick i was aiming for the acrostic. I try my best to write with humour but I simply have to go with the flow of my pen - i have a poem to post maybe tomorrow - it is something I made up when I was about 7 years old and mum often recites it - shame it has taken my husbands cancer to get me writing but I am making up for lost time now lol:-) Hugs jan xx

Sorry I'm late commenting, I had to go and put my RayBans on. Great verse, Jan. When I get out of bed in the morning I look down at the ground. If I'm above it, it's a good day. Love from Viv x

When i walk into our village I always try and say hello to people I pass or at least smile - costs nothing but a few seconds of time:-) Hugs Jan xx

You do such a very good job of making people smile while you grieve in the inside. Hugs and a 7

I try to write with humour Eve - I think I did my grieving before dad died - i have too much paperwork to do for his estate to have time to cry - it may come in time but not at the moment:-) Hugs Jan xx

Thanks so much George - many many years ago when I worked in an office I used to take the outbound mail to the local post office - one day I was delayed and was in the queue standing behind a very tall man - the counter guy said' has she been in .. the elfin one who is always smiling' 'shes here' says another cashier - the guy in front of me moved and there I was - I don't know who was more embarrassed me or the cashier but I did leave smiling:-) Hugs Jan xx

Very nice pen Jan! I couldn't agree more with you in this my dear friend. A 7 from me ! Thank you for the big smile and for visiting and commenting on my poetry.Always much appreciated Jan! I haven't been online much, still sick. I've been very ill with a very severe flu and cold, I hardly have a voice to talk. For almost 4 weeks not been able to talk much.
