Not Everyone's That Way

Not Everyone’s that Way

As I walked down the street one day,

I saw an elderly lady carrying a bag.

I asked if I could help in any way,

She said no thanks as her shoulders sag.

For help I could tell she was afraid to ask,

I gave her my name – she relaxed a little.

For her to talk to me was a hard task.

She was so nervous, her fingers twiddled.

For her balance I gave her my arm,

But she was so scared she wouldn’t budge.

I asked her why she was alarmed,

As I helped her out of the sludge.

Finally she said, “no one helps without a goal,”

I listened in silence as she spoke,

“You learn a lot when you grow old,”

As emotions made her voice croak.

She said, “You don’t live to my age,

And not see every knock in life.

It’s like a book and it’s page,

for every wrinkle- their was strife,

No one every gives unless they want something in return.

Greedy is the world today.

For I’ve many lessons learned,

I know it’s how it’s going to stay.

For when I’ve asked for help in kind,

It’s what will you do for me.

I think in the back of my mind,

That’s not the way it used to be.

In the past kindness was from the heart,

for food and shelter from those hoping,

to help give others a better start,

That were having trouble coping.

So I’ve learned to do things on my own,

or do without certain needs,

For people have been turned to stone,

On their minds is nothing but greed.

The little old lady had me thinking,

Not everyone’s that way.

So without even blinking,

I gave her the time of day.

“I can’t speak for everyone for I am only me,

And I’ve yet to go where you have tread.

So please accept my generosity as it’s meant to be,

For that is what it is,” to her I said.

She’s suffered from others blindness,

She’s not used to people sharing.

There was no charge for my kindness,

There was only caring.

The Adventures of Titch and Mitch- Shipwrecked

I truly loved this book and I believe my grandkids will too. It's full of fun, fantasy and friendship. but you forget it's fiction because the characters seem to come to life. Although I am an adult I am looking forward to reading the rest of the, "The Adventures of Titch and Mitch" books.

You have two pixies, who are brothers, that get into trouble because they are curious about the world around them and no matter how much trouble they get into they seem to come out alright and help others along the way. 

I don't want to give anything away but this is a great book for children to learn about helping others and friendships. I'd recommend this to anyone who has children. If they can't read, it's well worth the time for you to read it to them.

Wish the pain would stop

a swipe here and a swipe there, then I go and set in a chair. there a sweep and here a sweep and a tear goes down my cheek. The pain the pain please go away so that my house may get cleaned today. LOL. ugh driving me nuts

Autumn's Child Book Review

 Oh my Goodness, this was an awesome book. My heart ached for Layla and my eyes shed tears. I mean the kind of tears and hurt that you feel yourself when a loved one dies. I guess I related on a personal level since I lost my Dad 3 months ago.
This book is one that you won't want to put down. Many people can relate to Layla and her choices because sometimes in the name of love and of family you sometimes have to do things you won't want to do but you do because you feel there is no choice.
"There is one thing worse than killing another man, It's wasted life. All the years we spend doing nothing is a crime worst than murder," Aunt Libby.
All I can say is if you don't read this book it's your loss because you are going to miss out on what the writer is offering. A story that pulls you in and pulls at your heartstrings.
"When Autumn sets in and the leaves of the trees have fallen to their end, There and only then is where you will find my sins.......Autumns Child will Spring again." Last page of story. Link to Autumn's Child Goodreads
