Listen to the MUSTN’TS, child
Listen to the DON’TS
Listen to the SHOULDN’TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT’S
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me --
Anything can happen, child
ANYTHING can be!
~Shel Silverstein

Happy, happy day. America feels like home once more!
Amazing accomplishment, Pat! This poem summarizes what I want to mean perfectly. All of US, the world sees how 'courageous' nation you are, and a miracle can be realized. I heartily welcome the global leader, Congrat's!

Hi Pat!
I wanted to stop by and visit and say thanks for stopping to say "hi". I love it when I find a new blog to read! I so enjoyed yours...your kitty is just precious! We got ours off Craigslist, too! And, I am still laughing about the group of Richard Simmons-es marching in the parade...lol!!! That was great! I have the whole collection of Shel Silverstein books....I am excited that my kids are enjoying them, too! What a whimsical author!
Love, Angie
Hi Pat,
I love your poem.
I got you email today and started to respond, but was at work. I'll pick it up later and then send it tomorrow. I have to finish my brother's memorial.
Have a wonderful evening.
