The First Time I Fell In Love

First time I fell in love
I looked up above
To see a white dove 
I felt the sparks
When I was at Mark's 
clothing store
A jacket from Singapour
The price did soar
The price was more
At the Marks store
The first time I fell in
love
With a jacket at Marks
The price was high
I could not buy
So I walked on by

Hello Darlene, I know that feeling…years ago I wanted a teal 3/4 length, leather jacket at Nordstroms…a pricey store here. I did buy it. Then I had second thoughts because of the price and was going to return it, Maria tore up the recept and proclaimed, you keep that! You deserve it, I wore it with joy for years, I still have it in my closet, nY Fav piece of clothing,. And a great Nonet by you. Hugs Panagiota xx

So cute, so true for all of us, we sometimes have to say no to something we really like because it is just over the top, just too much cash! A really great beat to your poem my friend - wishing you a peaceful happy Christmas with all your family and may the New Year bring your dreams to fruition. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer, Hapy New Year! Merry Christmas to you and family. I had to say no plenty of times because the price is too high. When it goes on sale sometimes the price is still too high. So I walk away. Friendship & Hugs Darlene
