passion’s romantic love turns cold
marriage vows end in divorce
friendships sometimes betrayed
how good is your word?
gossip gives slight exaggeration
everyone tells little white lies
who can be trusted?
God’s promises have always
proven faithful and true.

What a blessing to hear my grand daughter, Anna, spontaneously sing the classic hymn, “Standing on the Promises” while playing at my house…of course, I joined in!

Can’t account for the unusual format…thanks to WordPress 🙂
circle on screen spins as computer “thinks”; interminable spinning seeks missing links, or while waiting for host to allow guests and greet to zoom room gathering or another google meet. trying desperately to reload, refresh, retool but constant spinners make one feel dizzy fool!
slumber party hosted by famous bard? i’ll sleep not a wink while genius sleeps hard thoughts of sonnets and great theatrical works poetic lore over snores, s’mores, and smirks; in my warm flannels with hot cup of tea i’ll dream of writing brilliant poetry!

Punam hosts our quadrille prompt (44 words) with slumber party theme 🙂
lagoon in my memories fills dormant volcano crater; nicaraguan vendors encircle tourists as mountains surround deep blue pocket of aquatic life.
lagoon of my memories fills crevices of heart and mind; as faces from childhood encircle present experience, surrounding deeply personal perspective on life.

mother, dear mirror who shows me who i am…loved, worthy to be loved, learning how to trust others in wide world; first centered on you, it’s expanded through your wise instruction, inspiration, induction. now i in turn nurture love as reflection ** of you **
