I always think one should try and N.J'oy the funny side of things..... Like any new born baby. It take a while . To raise a smile To put in place . A smiley face. Its not a Sin To replace wih a Grin The face of a boy . Thats filled with Joy. lol....xx
I agree with thee in generality. Not in the particular. Sometimes one is confronted by something that is so grave funny is not an option. Otherwise I agree with thee that glee is necessary to stay alive, survive, thrive. The following is a long-time favorite poem and sad. Why I thought of it just now I do not know. "The little toy dog is covered with dust But sturdy and staunch he stands The little toy solider is red with rust And the musket molds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new And the solider was passing fair And that was the time when our little boy blue Kissed them and put them there "Now don't you go till I come" he said "And don't you make any noise" So toddling off to his trundle bed he dreamt of his pretty toys And as he was dreaming an angel song awakened our little boy blue Oh the years are many the years are few but the little toy friends are true Aye faithful to little boy blue they stand Each in the same old place Awaiting the touch of a little hand The smile of a little face And they wonder in waiting the long years through in the dust of that little chair What has become of our little boy blue since he kissed them and put them there?"
I memorized it long ago. I'm not certain that every word is accurate. That is how I remember it. It is so beyond sad I have never forgotten it.

I also remember the pledge of allegiance IN SPANISH that I learned in 4th grade! I have no idea why that is. I took 4 years of French. Go figger! Anway here goes. "Juro fidelidad a la bandera de los estados unidos de America. Una nacion indivisible para liberte et justicia para todos". I learned it BEFORE the words "under God" were added. I remember some very tiny minute things and have forgotten some really big ones. Of course I think you know I had cancer in 2008 and was told that one of the side effects is memory loss which I have, sadly. So some pieces of my life are gone forever. But I"m here! Thank you for your reply D! :)
I hit AB in April 2009 Rosie......no ,I didnt know you had cancer Rosie......so pleased you got over it though.... it's a funny disease ....the older you are when you get it ,the easier it is to treat it successfully....
My memory is pretty awful at the best of times... ..,,unless im interested in it ,I don't seems to store it in my head.....lol
Oh I didn't remember when you first hit the scene D. Anyway on Answerbag our chats were brief and infrequent. I had no idea whom you were or maybe you were a different person then. You were younger for one thing. But here on Answermug..well remember our lengthy and very serious conversation about hands? I shared that with elizabeth. That's when I knew we clicked. At least from my perspective. I don't want to assume what you feel or believe. I think if we could find very meaningful and sometimes even poetic things to say about hands the sky is the limit! Thank you for your reply D! :)
