Oh, Joy

I saw my favorite girl and boy First time since March, oh joy! oh joy! I can’t explain how good it feels - I want to leap and kick my heels. By their reactions, I am sure, From when we first walked through the door, They missed us, too, but now we’re back, As life crawls slowly on its track.

Your pen was writing "Joy." We do not know what we have and then many times it is gone. We need more joy in our lives. Enjoy your day writing away.....

I'd feel the same way, Ilene, if I hadn't seen my dog in months! /M

Like the use of the word 'crawls,' as children (and grandchildren, of course) do at first! Congrats, Ilene! :) Gershon

What a treat! My dad always said, "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!" I do hope you are able to enjoy each other's company safely with Trump and Pence in the area! Aloha! Rico
