My Toasty Roast of Sharon W.

Sharon talks about my muse
well, I could sometimes use ... Hers!

Now that a score is cast
well, she's just way out past ... Soupers!

Hear the rush and whirring
as she passes though our time?
with another Soup comment stirring
then races off to post a rhyme
and then ... Look!
I see her everywhere ...
when I go to see a New Poet
she's already been there!
Don't you know it,
I'll never catch up
she's just too far gone
so I lift my cup
to toast my talented friend ...

(... and if I could have found a word
to rhyme with gone
this might have had a different end)

So, just to let you know, I will be thinking of you and if you ever need a friend to write to, or talk to (would be happy to call you) you got one right here. I just cannot think of anything else to say to let you know how sad I am for you and how I wish I could change things or do anything to make it easier. Big hugs and love to you and Mister. In my prayers. Love, Shar xoxoxo

Wow Sue, this sure isn't me anymore. Thanks again so much for writing this, you sweet, thoughtful, unique and talented person. Anyway, just to let you know, been off the soup for a while, due to, well, personal crap shall we say. So, in case you posted and I missed it, I am sorry. More sorry to read your blog. My heart cannot handle all the pain and sadness in the world, and when it is someone I know, it is unbearable. Cont'd...

Great tribute, Sue, to a wonderful person. Sharon is living proof of what I said in my blog...the more you do, the more time you have...which is why I would never dare use being too busy as my excuse for not posting enough comments! Oh, and you are wonderful too. Love, Nigel

Aw Sue!!! You are just too thoughtful here. And yes, I am chuckling just a bit, especially from Fred's comment (I call him Wilfriedo-but don't ask me why). All I can say is thank you so much for this toasty roast! And thank you to all my dear commenter friends, too. Some people are just obsessed with certain things you know and with me, well it's the soup. I keep saying I will slow down and sometimes I do, but I always seem to come back. It's a joy with people like you! Cheers! Hugs! xoxo
