Some, we take to the grave. Others, well...
There is a secret that I
keep,
and hesitate to share;
do not to a conclusion leap;
I'm not having an
affair.
There are no wild
gambling debts,
and I'm not inclined to
smut;
these would be serious
threats
that could cause your
heart to shut.
I do not go on shopping
sprees,
though I want a Barrett
rifle,
and I come to you on
bended knees;
confession's not a
trifle.
Time to come clean, so
what the heck:
"My dear, my role
model is Shrek."
And Barb said, "I knew that from the first. Why d'you think I married you?
Thanks to Carol Ashby, Blessed Are The Pure Of Heart is back on Kindle, and will be available in paperback soon.
Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
Marley, the canine waif from Afghanistan, whom WE helped save, has a Facebook page! Please drop by to see how happy he is today.
Below are my recent releases on Kindle -please excuse their presence in the body of the blog. I haven't the energy to get them up as 'buttons' in the sidebar. You can click on the covers to go to the Amazon links.
Stephanie, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy being green.
I love it! And Barb knew all along. :) My nephew was Shrek in a local theater production in FL where he lives. He loved it! Blessings and love to you and Barb and your special dogs!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed this, Gayl...and cool that your nephew had the role!!
DeleteLove and blessings back, from all of us.
(((Andrew)))
ReplyDeleteYou've GOT to meet my brother in Heaven. He was 50+ years old and had our mother watching Shrek. We saved his DVDs. I always think of John when I see Shrek. Now I'll think of you, too.
Annie in Texas
((((((Annie!))))))
DeleteI'll be looking forwar to meeting John. Sounds like we may have a lot in common. I mean, starting with SHrek....that's a fair piece of shared road.
Whenever I visit your "home", I come away smiling or laughing. Barb is one blessed lady to have you at her side and I know you feel the same way about her. May you receive the same laughter and sunshine today as you pour out on the rest of us so often. Thank you for being you - the you God created you to be.
ReplyDeleteAnna, we thank you so much, and we're truly blessed by your visits, your words, and your love.
DeleteOur Hannah (granddaughter, 22) LOVES Shrek. I think she is looking for him in a husband. LOL
ReplyDeleteSusan, she's got good taste!
DeleteHA HA HA HA!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know you, but I can see the connection from your writing! My son played Donkey this past fall, and I think this may have been my favorite of all the productions my kids have been in (in spite of the crass humor!).
Michele, what a gift, to see your son play Donkey...Andrew's second favourite character!
DeleteWe are so glad you got to experience this!
So does this mean Barbara gave up her opportunity to be a beautiful princess when she married you, the ogre, Andrew? I suppose it's always better to be ugly and crusty on the outside and a prince of a guy on the inside, right?! Thanks for this sweet poem and metaphor for your love story with Barbara! Praying for you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeth, Andrew says that no matter what colour her skin, nor the shape of her ears, Barbara is ALWAYS the beautiful princess.
DeleteWe thank you so much for your prayers.
LOL!!
ReplyDeleteJan, we are so happy you enjoyed this!
