Dear God (or whatever)........

I pray that I don’t hurt anybody today.
At all.

Oh yeah, and if I can help someone else, that's cool too.

Toodles…

A short story has up to ten thousand words.
I’m just there.
At the bottom.
But it’s my story.

I read your writing
and tried to respond
but the dot kept spinning
all day long…

I made myself a promise
and pledged to hold on
never given up
on the outlet for my songs

So if you don’t hear my cheerful
daily rhyme
I’m sure the gateway will open up
in due time!
