One day last summer I waited
in the pick up while
my daughter went into the store and this poem
came
to mind...Sometimes it is fun to just to sit and
watch
people as they walk by....

I sit and watch the people
walk by And thoughts twirl round in my
mind Some folks are short, and some are
tall A few hurry along with kids trailing
behind
Some have a bounce in their
step While others just shuffle along Some
walk so fast they almost run And some are
singing, or whistling a song
A few
stand and talk to each other Some smile and
nod as they walk by Others pass with a frown
on their face While some are waving
goodbye
Many drive up in pickup
trucks While others drive fancy cars Some
get here by city bus As they come from near
and far
There was even a 55 Chevy
sittin' on the lot That pretty red car sure
caught my eye! I used to date a guy that had
one looked like that And all the gals would
swoon when we drove by!

A stand outside is selling
snow cones A little boy is dragging mommy
along Mommy keeps pulling back But the
kid's grip is too strong!
So she
finally gives in And much to her
dismay Her son chooses a red snow
cone Without delay
He promptly
spilled it Down the front of his white T
shirt And some of it even spilled On his
mommy's white skirt!
Whoopppsss here
comes my daughter So I've gotta wind this
up But I'll be back one day To give you
another close up!
What fun I had
these few minutes Watching the people go
by Wish I'd took the time to get a snow
cone, I think as we drive away, and I
sigh

Scripture from
Proverbs:
A merry heart doeth good like a
medicine: A merry heart maketh a cheerful
countenance: He that is of a merry heart hath
a continual feast.
