Both Sides Age Gauge

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
" Youth is not a time of life;

 it is a state of mind. . . 











- it is a matter of the will, 

quality of the imagination, 

a vigor of the emotions; 

it is the freshness of 

the deep springs of life. "
                         Samuel Ullman

" With age 
come the inner,
 the higher life. 
Who would be 
forever young, to 
dwell always in 
externals? "

Droplets

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
Water   Droplets

" Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again "
                                              John Claude Gummoe













Water   Droplets

" The raindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like rai-aindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes "
                                                       Dee Clark
















" Now the only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart "
                                      John Claude Gummoe













" Rain please tell me 
now does that seem fair
For her to steal 
my heart away 
when she don't care
I can't love another 
when my heart's 
somewhere far away "
            John Claude Gummoe

Sometimes
Life's winds
drive me hard;
[ How about you? ]

0ther times,
I meander
like a raindrop
on a window 
pane.
[ Know what I Mean? ]

Dancing on a breeze
shot through with
light-
look at us!
We're a rainbow
[ you and me ]

My days 
are dripping 
precious
from a source,
one-by-one -
Ceaseless,
but not
inexhaustible.

Wet.

Yes these are the days
that flow like wine
and cliche`
the days we share.
So thank you.

Thank You
for Dropping in-
Your Comments
are Refreshing!
