Write about anything you’d like, but make sure the post includes this sentence:
“I thought we’d never come back from that one.”
Have the pontoon out on the lake
Granny is sitting in her bikini to bake
Grandpa has his fishing reel in hand
Hopes to hit the big grand slam
Dad’s at the wheel and out of control
Two ski jets fly by and he yells go blow
The kiddies are yelling and screaming in fun
Granny puts in her ear plugs and looks towards the sun
Mama has her hands in the cooler I see
The son is now yelling I gotta go pee
There is nowhere to go except over the boat
My stomach is churning I hope I don’t choke
I hold on to him as he leans very far
Get this over now son why didn’t you go near the car
A wave comes by before I can get my grip
I drop the kid and I bit my lip
He got so scared he peed his pants
I cling to my seat beginning to chant
Get me off of this boat or I’m going to swear
I wanted to stay home and not go anywhere
Dad had never heard my voice this loud
I swear you could hear it over the beach crowd
He flung the boat in a quick reverse
I think I heard grandpa starting to curse
Away we took off over the waves we did slide
Everyone became quiet, they just wanted to hide
I saw the shores of our home come in view
I motioned to the others to now take my cue
Get me home in the shade and out of this sun
I thought we’d never come back from that one

You have humor … bring it out – forget all the sadness … it will not change – it will be still there … time to celebrate life and enjoyment. Let us laugh together.

easier said than done my friend. My life for the past six years has been about sadness and people, death and life, I have taken care of dying people for many years. I am a person who speaks about the life I live. i don’t find much humor in anything, and maybe this is wrong. I have my friends on here, my writing, my God and my hope for the future. i wish for more, but none of it has happened thus far. I do have dreams though and they keep me going. i will bring the humor out for you when it visits……………………..big hugs my friend
