SQQUWWWaaarrrK!, she's put me in a HORSE magazine.... Sqqquuaarrrkkk!

The poem is the first one I wrote and kept. My son presented me with a hard cover book filled with blank pages and said I should write the story of my life. and one day give it back to him. I had the thought..mm there are somethings in my life that I may not wish my children to know. (Specially while I am still alive).

The cover of the book is black and white with the words,

Dance... as though no one is watching you,
Love ..as if you have never been hurt before.
Sing ..as though no one can hear you,
Live .. as tough heaven is on earth."

I have written a recent poem for him but it hasn't made the book yet. One day when I feel I'm getting 'old' I might try to include more bits for his eyes only.

Oh, by the way... what I really wanted to say is.. Thanks Muzza for the great effort you are putting into this eMag.

It looks great Maureen. Congratulations.
