CAN’T  ESCAPE

 
We can’t escape the hurts
in our heart – even if we
try to hide them. They show
up in our eyes and tears on
our cheek – often sneaking
in when we least expect them.
 
We can’t run away from home
even if we pack a suitcase and
head to some place 1,000 miles
away. Home is in always in our
heart – always in our thoughts -
and always in our question marks.

DOOR

 
Sometimes a door has just one message:

“Not wanted! Not welcome! Not you!”

 

Closed!

 

Sometimes a door has just one message:

Welcome! Just knock or ring the bell.

 

Open!

 

Come in. Come on home. We missed you.

We have a million sweet memories of you.

 

More!

BADLY  TOLD  JOKE

 

Sometimes I feel like a badly told joke.
 
I just want to get out of here.
 
I tried to be funny.
 
I forgot one detail….
 
I knew it as I got to the punch line.
 
I blew it.
 
And your face laughed at me – again.
 
And again ….
