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

Hello Panagiota, you were lucky that your daughter told you to keep it. As for me the price was way too high so I walked away. Yes it would be your fav. piece in the closet. Hugs /Darlene/ xxx

It was enjoyable writing, Darlene. I suppose that each of us has been guilty of doing this at some point. Best wishes, and please don't stop writing so beautifully!

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.

Darlene De Beaulieu
Date: 12/11/2022 11:00:00 AM

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
