Hurrying
White Rabbit
gotta get here
go there
look at the time
counting on me
gotta get
gotta go
gotta leave
can't stay
no time to dally

messages from friends

call me
write, won't you
I miss you
what's new
won't you visit
please call
come by

Your picture

tugs at me
pulls my sleeve
I stop by
but
you're away
we miss
each time
you say come by
I do
we miss
each time

because I'm

Hurrying
White Rabbit
gotta get here
go there
look at the time
counting on me
gotta get
gotta go
gotta leave
can't stay
no time to dally

Great pictures with a nice use of the white rabbit analogy.

Why do I feel that you are writing about the lives of just about every working mom out there? Great job. I really enjoyed it.

I identify strongly with your Jumpin' verse. Coming or going, so often our timing is just shy of our ambition.

This reminds me of life in general. It's so important to stop and take time to smell the roses before life is over!!!

Oh, my dear busy friends...... I am so sorry you can relate to this little ditty. Stopped today.. Just stopped....lay down in the tent on the air mattress and watched the golden gilted trees as the sun set. So nice. May this week be S L O W E R for us all.

Very clever, Cat. I mentioned White Rabbit in a title of mine yesterday. So apt, so apt...Hurry, I'm late, I'm late............
