Whistle



Despite the outside weather storming
Show the world that you know…
You set your own house fires warming
And need only two lips to blow.

Author notes

If Carnegie Hall accepted whistling as a legitimate musical form, my father would have had top billing.

Sometimes, Cathy when things get rough, if you just do simple things and act as if they weren't all that bad then the icky stuff begins to melt and magically you gain control again.
God bless you.
Paul

    you know, you just put your two lips together...

    Excellent. There is so much truth in this poem. The mind is a wonderful tool and used properly can bring such joy.

    Short and perfect! ~Pamela

    What a wonderful feel good ideal. I'm the first to admit I get a bit dramic about my kids but they have been through so much heartache and now finally everyone is happy with wonderful futures ahead of them and I just want them to enjoy life...
    Sorry for rambling dear, thanks so much for posting for me. Its a great ideal.
