Is that a teardrop

In a trail going down your face

Then just let it flow

Wash out the present sorrow

Your life might change tomorrow.

Will she love me, day and night

Or is this my own dream of delight?

Am I handsome, am I smart

Think I could ever win her heart?

These are questions in my mind each night

Or is her ignorance just an oversight?

At first you were soft

Beating high as a loft

But it didn’t last

And down you were cast

At first happy and glad

The ride turned you sad

Eventually, mad and

You felt unclad.

There are songs that sing

About your fragile strings

It is quite fantastic

How you’re so elastic.

   What’s good about today?  It’s National Pie Day!!!!  The following is one of my older posts.

Daily Prompt: Tart
There’s one thing especially close to my heart

When the Prompt is fixed on something like tart.

It’s yellow and white, pleases the eye.

Of course you know, it’s a lemon pie!

The filling for me is a tart lemon curd

Not feeling it? Cause I used that word?

We always say filling, it’s the chefs and the cooks

Who besmirch the pudding in all of their books.

But, as usual, I tell this with TMI

I remind you it is my favorite pie.

The crust has to be specially prepared

So it doesn’t absorb lemon juice there

Without being…..dare I say soggy?

You’d need to feed it to your special doggie

Have to use real lemons, not juice from plastic 

There’s where the flavor comes, truly fantastic.

To top off this marvelous delight

A meringue, sweet, fluffy and light.

So that’s my story of making a pie

Tart and sweet both, I tell you no lie.

Got it! We girls in the family went to see this movie today:

 

It was a little upsetting for me in parts because I remembered experiencing this prejudice first hand in the sixties living in Houston, Texas. Even in later years, the division was clear in some towns that had separate facilities for blacks and whites. I did not know of these important women and am so glad to learn about them, even this late. Everyone should see this.

I admit it, I get confused easily, but didn’t the Reader post the JJJ dates backwards or is it just me? My time is Mountain Standard Time and trying to keep aware of what day it is on the Reader is slightly confusing. Am I the only one? Of course I am, at least that’s what I’m told whenever I ask.

He only spoke promises, such rhetoric.

They aren’t coming back.  I should have known.  A loving family with a mom, dad, a sister and brother for me.  What is it they say –too good to be true?  I should have known, just like all the others, a few days and then I’m back here.  It’s not always my fault.  This time I should have just stayed quiet, not answering their questions with the truth.  

No one believes the truth.  They think things like that couldn’t possibly happen to a girl my age.  A lot of things did, and whenever they ask, I don’t lie.  I tell them of my past.

A girl so young shouldn’t  have a past. Her life could have been loving, with a nice school, birthday parties, and friends.The girl looked out to see a fourth hope driving off.  She was getting so discouraged.  No one was going to believe her, or take her into their family when they knew what she’d been through. I have to tell no one, not again.  They just think I’m lying. I’ll just keep everything to myself.  The nightmares won’t let me forget, but I can try to hide the rest.

A few weeks later, another prospective family came.  They looked friendly.  She decided she would do or say anything to get out of the facility.  The matron walked beside her to meet them.

Sweet, of course

Unusual, maybe

Calculated, of course

Carefree? Possibly

Effort, much

Slow? Usually

Satisfying, certainly

Failure? Not an option

Useful, definitely

Long? You can only hope.

A wedding photo?  I think not.

It’s just part of a plot.  

The older woman not to blame

She’s happy to take his name.

He on the other hand is crafty and young

But on this day his hopes are hung

On marrying, then leave the old lady

A scoundrel is he?  Well maybe.

You see his family’s fortune was taken

By the first husband of this maiden.

I admit it was hardly her fault

But try to stop him? She did not.

All she knew was he had money to spend

Where it came from she didn’t intend

To question, just enjoy.

Now she was loved by a different boy

Young and handsome, oh what joy!

After the wedding  vows were spoken

He knew his wife’s heart would be broken

But all he wanted was revenge

And all her money he would scavenge

A  broken heart did not concern him

Even though her future’s dim

Not his problem when he absconds

With the money, stocks, and bonds.
