Team Work - Saturday Writing Essentials -

Rah Rah, Sis Boom Ba

We were a team Bill and I

Didn't really need a cheer

Were like ice cream and apple pie

As a team there was nothing

That together we couldn't do

Can't believe all the struggles we beat

Working together, a team of two

Every think we tackled

Just seemed to be our game

Kids and school, work and play

Successful was our name

As a result of our teamwork

A family evolved around love

I would live it all over in a minute

If I had the other glove

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Put this challenge statement at the beginning or end of your submission so readers will know what you’re supposed to do.

Challenge: Write something (prose or poetry; fiction, nonfiction, or essay) about teamwork. It can deal with a child or an adult; it can be set in school, the business world, the military, or whatever else you can come up with. The teamwork can result in something wonderful happening, or in a major disaster.

Tag your submission with SatWE.
Include (Saturday Writing Essential) as part of your title.
I ask that you make your submission(s) by next Friday afternoon.

Good Writing!

You are a wonderful woman with an equally wonderful attitude about life and marriage...We who are married all know that staying married is no cakewalk, especially in a climate where "after me , you come first" feelings predominate. It takes a lot of wisdom and dedication to see beyond the things that seem certain to be the end, and let go of the things that impede that desire. Not easy to give in for the long range benefit...often when one is on the right side of the argument. Best friends really aren;t that easy to find. We hold onto then like we do our life.

Wonderful poetry, my dear...

Thank you submitting to the Gatherâ€™s Best Writers and Artists.

Thank you for the lovely compliment and comment Stephen, I married my best friend, and remained that way for 57 years, contented and happy, I am selfish and wish I had had longer, love, Elsie

It's always great when you can say that your marriage was team work. It really works better that way.
