Beautiful

Beautiful is for the young forever for the strong
Especially when life turns, does you wrong 
Always live in the present, you can be anything  
Understanding 'you' is the happiness you bring
Try to be yourself no matter when or where you go
It's a chance to show you're real, let others know
For now you are young, so beautiful in your years 
Until later life casts shadows  doubts and fears
LIVE! LOVE! 'BELIEVE' - The smoke will clear!

tomorrow our high temeperature is 46 degrees but with the wind chill believe me it is so so much colder - had to get hubby to pick me and mum up when we were walking today mum nearly got blown over - no exaggeration! We have lots of bulbs trying to peep through the soil:-) Hope its not going to get too cold and kill them:-( hugs jan xx

Hello Island Lady...just heard that your Isle of Man is 46 degrees...that corresponds with ours, thought you would be much colder but am delighted that you are not. Tis said here that our flowers will not bloom this spring due to being confused! That's pretty bad when the flowers get confused! LOL

Ah...living in the present. When bad things happen this becomes difficult fore me. However, I try. I had the best fortune to be in Arizona this week. The geography is that of a different planet. When something bothers me again, I will visualize a saguaro cactus and feel better. My wife says I should think of pushing my antagonists into it.

Judy Konos

Don't let anything bother you ...just enjoy what there is...Yes Arizona is a lovely state...My grandmother loved to travel there especially in the summer...good to see ya here

It is a formidable task to compose a quality acrostic. However, to add appropriate rhyming to the end of each line is an extraordinary accomplishment! Overall, this is quite impressive.

Hello Robert...As always so very good to see you....May your New Years Eve be safe and warm followed by an entire year of happiness....
