Today's The Day

Today's the day
They laid me low
And cradle me in soil
So, in this darkness
I might sleep
Indifferent to their toils
They think, 
I'm in a better place
I'm sure this place is fine
All I have to do is wait
Until I'm told it's time
Then I'll reach up
through the soil
A day that just seems awesome
And make my planters
Stop and stare 
At my leaves, my stem, my blossom

parked

One day I was invite to go out for a walk
To meet other people and perhaps to have a talk
Exchanging ideas and different views and thoughts  
It left my shoe strings all tangled up in knots
 

I may have made some comments that were short and contract 
And I never thought that I could become subject to attack
I'd like for you to all know , I won't be around
It's because I am a mime not a circus clown

People have opinions more certainly than not
But most without facts, reasoning or thought
But, let me take moment to lift the veil of fog
I will never in my life comment in another blog

Heeeeeeeeyaaaaa

Thank you, Linda. I was inspired to hear Mary moved to Florida, we have far to many Doctors, lawyers and not enough poets. Ha !
