POETRY THURSDAY
DUST
Dust if you must, but wouldnt it be better
To paint a picture or write a letter.
Bake a cake or plant a seed,
Ponder the difference between want and need.
Dust if you must, but there isnt much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear and books to read,
Friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair.
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come round again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not very kind.
And when you go, and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Well, I guess you know after dropping by Merryville today that I've been doing more than just a little dusting, but I promise I am trying very hard to make room in my life for simple pleasures too! Thank you for this nice poem.
I am so sorry to hear about your family's puppy.

This absolutely sums up my attitude towards a lot of mindless housework - dusting being top of that list! The only way to get through it is quickly, with the music turned up and a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate waiting as a reward! This lovely poem says it all - life is just too short. Have you got one about Ironing?
Best wishes, as ever

Do you ever wonder who writes these poems? Obviously someone who has 'been there, done that'! So sorry to read about the loss of the little pup. Very distressing for your little grand daughters.
