Regardless

regardless of how much botox or viagara you use

regardless of how many things you "have" to take your kids to

regardless of the mortgage

regardless of the porkage

regardless of the curtains or the lawn mower or the forkage...

 
(and i use the term forkage here because this is a family site)...
 

regardless of my wanting your 

demands to disappear and my

expectations to always be

met
 

regardless of ...

welll...

everything

 
the only thing any of us really HAS to do is die.

 

The rest is all a choice

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Nancy. Love, Carol
