Like an eagle
Like every other person in the world
Like Bogie and Bacall
Like a chicken with its head cut off
Like a bat out of H E double toothpicks
Like, that’s what he said
Like sands through an hourglass
I like fried fish.
I like turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

I like a good book that doesn’t preach at me.

I like giving presents even more.
I want to be like those writers that crank out a book every
year on subject they feel passionate about.
I want to be like the consistent novelist that publish every
few years.
I want people to read and like my book. If that’s not
possible I want people to read my book.
I want people to like me. (sometimes that’s a problem)
I want to be like my husband, willing to help people out,

ReplyDeletebut the road is very weird.
Seems it's more than being nice,
a robe and sandals, and a beard.
It calls for stern compassion,
kindness tempered by the truth,
and a call to faithful action
of which converts are proof,
and it just gets worse from there,
and I am really at a loss,
because, dude, I simply do not care
to find that for me there's a cross
on which I might be nailed to die
beneath a high and holy sky.
Yes. Exactly. I feel the same way most days. but ... no going back, no going back

It's okay! I don't mind anonymous. LOL!
DeleteI had to look up who Bogie and Bacall were. good to do a touch of research eh? Good likes, good struggles, honesty can sometimes be so freeing yes?
ReplyDeleteYes! Thank you! .... the phrase "Bogie and Bacall" was used in a song. I can't remember the song now, but it's interesting that we are just 30 minutes away from where they spent their honeymoon - very humble, historic home. Blessings on your day!
DeleteLove this. Makes me want to check out your books.
