Gone gone she's long gone, gone to Indiana, ain't never comin' home .....

"An invisible

red thread connects those destined to meet,

regardless of time,


place

or circumstance.



The thread may stretch or tangle,


but never break."

Ancient Chinese Proverb


Thankyou to all the families adopting from China whose blogging has enlightened me as to the true meaning of patience.

Trampled Rose
Long way going to
Get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday

I found it in the street
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose

Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around
You never pay just once
To get the job done

What I done to me,I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?

In the muddy street
With the fireworks and leaves
A blind man with a cup I asked
Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'

I know that rose,Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose


Tom Waits
