Before doing "this" I was mostly a wife and mother, so you know that time wasn't free now I'll leave the last chapter, a question, a mystery! Not finished doing good and great things and don't want my biography completely outdated by winter, or early next Spring!

Fifteen Minutes If everyone has a claim to fame, sometime within their life! A claim of fifteen minutes to be in the bright spot light. The spot light won't just shine for me, It bathes all in its warm glow. As we help make one another stars in this Universal show

Ease On Down Pull your chair, into the square of sunshines warmth and light ease on down and comfy there, share mood and time together. The warmth and laze of afternoons and friendships are so rare. I'd rather be in this old chair, than almost anywhere!

Honored In the looking glass of time. I can see you oh so clearly. I see beyond the face, that time cannot erase. I see you in my mind, before the grey stole, into chestnut, and laid worry wrinkles and lines upon that brow. I can see you clearly in my mind, the eyes with a shine and sparkle colored flecks, reflect that special look, the one that conveys all. I see your kindness, I see your smile. They may be gone now, from my vision, but they will never change and I will see you always.. in my heart, and in my mind.

Brave Shadows Circle round. Circle round. Silhouette by the fire. rings of hoops and tomahawks Brave shadows reaching higher Circle round. Circle round. So much was taken. Shame not spoken Past times forgotten Never replace respect What was forsaken mother earth, she too regrets Man's disregard for something sacred.
