Close that Book

 

 

I write about which I am familiar

and proficient,

so, this will not be

 

a love poem.

dearest Jacob… you steal moments that take our Breath away… My family is on a Cruise 🚢 to Jamaica and Haiti 🇭🇹 where Music 🎶 is Cal-ipso … wishing you the Warmth of Palm trees… 🌴 and the Sea with waves of ecstacy…. Merry Christmas… Pat and Roger in the States USA 🇺🇸

This little bit of brevity tells a long story. To many readers it may appear to be sad but it doesn’t mean that life can’t be great. It might mean that when you’ve been bitten a few times, you make sure you don’t suffer again. Tip toe through the tulips so carefully.

Yet still the world goes round Jacob!
I closed that book so long ago I can barely remember anything other than if I wasn't quick it might have whipped some bits off when it snapped shut, or the name of the flippin' book either.
Yet still we hope.... It might be time to admit we are broken Jacob. 😊
