Music "Just a closer walk with thee"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~* �A Fool Such As I � Some people admire the work of a fool But the error of the wise makes me smile Oh! Why was I born with a different tongue? Can there be anything meaner Than the judge-mend of a fool Just leave me to my sorrows For there are no such thing� Like better tomorrows When waves of the battle Starts moving along like the ocean There is nothing so painful When emotions becomes brittle And the errors of life Starts to haunt you And when there are no more friends� Songs or instruments of joy How can we expect forgiveness from above? Some people admire the work of a fool such as I am And for those fools just like me I say thank you For keeping me company And for warming my heart filled with love But for now I have nothing more to say Than �I love You� Take care *Copyright �2004 Tinka Boukes* All rights reserved; and may not be reproduced in any way without permission from the author.

Tinka, an exceptional write, but I wonder about the tongue thing? You mean you don�t have a normal tongue� lol. Only kidding my precious friend. Well-done, and you�re not a fool. However, if you would jump into the filthy water then all bets would be off, and I have to reconsider� lol. Thanks for sharing your work. Take care and be well.

Dear Tinka,

It's a sad occasion when "real fools" believe they are beyond all else, and sweet friend, then I enjoy your "foolish" company and feel quite contented within this place. Chin up :)

Foolishness

Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans: it's lovely to be silly at the right moment.
