Misty Memories

Misty memories
Childhood schooldays
Off to learn in the swirling fog.
Feeling comfort in the damp embrace
Your friends can't see
The joy on your face.
You're free from the embrace of tyranny
Forced on you by family.
My life has changed over many years
I have learned to conquer all my fears.
Life's great!

KB's 55's are awesome and often bring a tear to my eye. I am not sure how to post it, so if you are monitoring, Mr. G., this is my first effort.
Warmest regards,
KB's Hubby

  3. Life IS great. I'm kinda new to this 55 too, so if you want my opinion, you did great. It's more difficult that it seems.

    My 55 is posted today...scroll down below the flower photos to find it. Come on over if you can find time. Happy weekend.

  5. Thanks, Anni,
    I like your 55 too. My ex-wife had a horse that POSITIVELY hated me. I spent a lot a time running too. But that was 20 years ago, and the analogy fits, in a funny sort of way. Now if I had stood up to him............... who knows. Life deals in funny ways. Best wishes,
