You don’t need that!
You don’t need that. It wouldn’t do you any good. ~ You don’t need that. Stop dwelling on it. ~ You don’t need that. You know that’s right. ~ You don’t need that. It would make no difference in your life. ~ You don’t need that. Someone else needs it more than you. ~ YouContinue reading “You don’t need that!”
Happy Thanksgiving
Written at the first of the Covid pandemic. 🦃 The turkeys are thawed in the fridge with care, in the hopes that salmonella will not come visit this year. ~ We have visions of pies, cakes and cookies dancing in our heads.

I Serenade my Sweet
I serenade my sweet. O, how I love thee. Thy scent, divine. The mere thought of you, heaven. ~ Oh, my sweet. Numbers are useless. Words powerless. Expression meaningless. ~ My sweet. My desire. My knees buckle at the thought. My mind looses all direction. ~ Oh, my sweet. I number the days. An eternityContinue reading “I Serenade my Sweet”
