Rain

I’ve found that too many people remind me of a summer rain Quickly blowing into my life and then rolling away again In the beginning, they may seem refreshing, exciting, and new But they leave me wet and miserable after the clouds have passed on through

Thanks, Caren. True friends not only share their umbrellas in the rain, but you can count on them even in a Hurricane. Have a great day my friend.

Thank you, Vickey. I know we can't be everything to everybody. So I've learned to be me. If people like it, thats great and if not, that's ok too.

Thanks, Jan. That is my main gripe with Facebook, etc. People collect friends by the thousands yet never talk to any of them. I believe it is better to have 10 good friends than a thousand bad ones.

Thank you, Deb. Your work is amazing. Yes, I do try to write simple words. I have been told many times that my writing style is unsophisticated and childish.
