Please don't worry babe, I'll be here till I'm 85!

I know I’m dying,
we all are,
that’s life’s game,
But mine’s sped up by cancer,
it’s not the same.
Don’t worry,
Liz,
everything’s gonna be alright,
See,
I’ll be here ‘til I’m 85,
or until my last goodnight.
Set your worry shackles free,
believe in what’s to be,
A future bright and hopeful,
just you and me.

We’ll light the sky with vibes,
full of love and fluffy things,
No cash

Premium MemberChapter 85 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: the Young Solomons

Damian Stood in the morning sun.
The sun felt good on his face.
Delilah was still sleeping. He
Kissed her face and caressed 
Her belly until she awoke.
Hey my Mrs. Me. Come on babe.
We will be leaving today soon
Early afternoon. He pulled her 
From the bed. She stood up. He
ran the shower then
Headed to Molly to do the
Same.

Premium Member85, and Not Out

I have reached the ripe old age of 85,
Why am I on Earth, still alive
When most of my friends are dead
Or laying Ga Ga in aged care beds.
Why was this Old Duck,
Given the luck,
To survive
When others died.

I am sure I don't know,
When God has plans,
For me to go.
What use has God for me?
I have brought

Here’s a little Christmas note from me to you,
But not just for helping me… it’s what you do.
I must be honest, it was your pretty eyes
That made me linger… they caught me by surprise.

It was also the smile beneath your mask
That made me decide that I just had to ask;
“Would you like to join me

85

Everything that was expected from me
Wilting like the wreaths
Perfectly placed near the scene
But the flowers are not for me
Everything that was expected of you
A storyline that I had drafted too soon
And I feel guilty for the things I do
I'll shut my eyes before we meet at high noon
Expectation dies in a shot or two
But the

Highway 85

I asked my husband what was wrong
He didn’t answer
 He just wiped his eyes and drove away
He left his wedding ring on the table
 
I strode out into the misty morning
 the sun fighting the sky for the stage 
 as a steady drizzle began
 I felt no rain
 
I went to the coffee shop
