"The big wheel keeps on turning so they say"

*Bright Red* *Three kids a cat a book which is bright red* *I hold it in hardcover and I say* *"I hope one of my kids will call today"* *While a cat purrs his friendship by my head* *This book has nothing to do with the one* *Who posed as my wife once to steal my life* *Nor any of those other horrors done* *To me taking advantage of my trust* *Three kids a cat a book no boom no bust* *The kids have all grown up and gone away* *Today the only child left here is me* *And I will never grow up but someday* *They will come back to scatter on the sea* *My elemental essence which will be* *Close-followed by a book which is bright red* *The cat will be all right with his nine lives* *Along with the kids their husbands and wives* *The big wheel keeps on turning so they say* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMVI*

So right you are steve, we writers I think cannot grow up, it isn't in our genes, imagination if nothing else will always keep us grounded in the world of Never Never Land and not the MJ one but the Peter Pan variety.

Yes, it does keep on turning, and so will your words after you- bittersweet, a good balance of both, plus lots of wisdom.
