Sept. 11- "More Than One Fish" By Susan Pearl

There is an old expression, " They're not the only fish in the sea",
We had a project to do and I left a message for the call to be returned to me,
After waiting three weeks for the return call and placing more requests-
    for having their free estimate-
I thought, "They're not the only fish in the sea",
I called someone else and within two days I was given an estimate that was free,
We all agreed it was a fair price, for the work to be done- and it turned out beautifully,
Yes, the one who wouldn't return a call to me,
Was definately "not the only fish in the sea".

Sept.10- "The Wise And The Critical" By Susan Pearl

In my opinion words of wisdom will not be found in words of criticism.

Sept. 7- "New Term-Old Expression" By Susan Pearl

I think the person who made up the old saying-
"What goes up-must come down",
Must have lived before orbiting satellites amid the stars,
Or space stations or exploring equipment on the moon or Mars,
So there are lots of things in the sky that have been left floating around,
In fact, can everything so far up from off of the ground really all be found,
I just think the person who made up the expression couldn't foresee,
That there would be a day when people would say "space debris".

Sept.6- "Kind Heart" By Susan Pearl

The words spoken were short but long lasts any other memory,
The words were," you're kind", and said with true sincerity,
Those words are held especially dear for they were spoken to me,
And for throughout my lifetime especially dear they will be,
For final moments in life can bring a special closeness to see,
With the parting words- "you're kind"- I continue to remember that moment vividly,
Now those words speak out in this heart of mine, time after time,
Saying, ---"Let being kind to one another shine,
Oh, yes, let the light shine on a kind heart,
Willingly giving to do an extra needed part,
Oh, let the light shine on the love of a kind heart."

Personal note:   The words "you're kind" were the last words spoken to me by my mother before she died.  I wanted to share that in my blog today.

Sept. 5- "Museum Decor" By Susan Pearl

What good is a ball of twine that we can't unwind? 
Evidently, it is for something to look at, like art of a new kind,
But too many things to look at can change a decor,
And, to me, too many things to look at are what museums are for,
Having written this I have taken time to look around my home,
And I think I may be coming close to living in a museum of my very own.

Sept.4- "No Time" By Susan Pearl

Two people were fighting over a clock,
What a waste of time.

Sept.3- "Promise and Opportunity" By Susan Pearl

Throughout life- promise and opportunity- are what we should see,
When a door closes a window will open for you and for me,
We go to the window and look through to a brand new view,
A view that may take some time to get accustomed to,
But there are some things in life that you and I will have to get used to,
Because that is what changes do,
With time a new opportunity will be there to see,
And a renewed promise of life begins again for you and me.
