Featuring Bill Rhoads
Each week, Sun City resident Bill Rhoads shares with us some of his "tips about life." Bill keeps a written record of "tips" that come to mind and has a strong motivation to share them with others. His purpose in doing so is to stimulate his own thinking and to stir some ideas into the pot of life. He believes in God and the Golden Rule.
This week's limerick:
She twisted and burned it and blew it
Ran bleach and dye constantly through it
While all mine fell out
Hers remains strong and stout
For what else could God ever do to it?
What’s this limerick all about?
(Answer next week)
And some more insights:
A blessing sometimes comes
from a stressing.
God lets us understand as we need to understand...
But only if we search.

Hello Bill. In response to your limerick, a poem I wrote last week:
ReplyDelete"A Word
passed from two lovely lips
accepted by two ears, it shifts
Taking form again, anew
when passed a second time from you.
By a third,
it's written down,
in ceremony,
passed around.
Some read red
and others blue.
For some it's tired,
for others new.
One adds a whisper,
one a sigh.
One reads and laughs
while others cry.
Then the word's turned back to me
though hardly the same word I see."
