Exceptional ... How do you like me now I've Arrived by Artasylum      When Life Was Still Fun Contest Winner

As I waddled through unmowed grass,  just this side of brand-new...  Fresh eyes drank in colored blooms;  soaking up the morning dew.  Grabbing at every thing that moved;  giggling with joy when it flew.  The morning seemed so magical.  The earth felt warm, winds blew.  My mom would dress me all in frills; optimistic I'd stay clean.  The tomboy in me chose to wallow;  Mom and her unrequited dreams.  The sun was getting stronger  and the fragrances smelled sweet.  My first glimpses of the day,  were in such a quick retreat.  A bright red flash caught my eye...  roses growing up the vines.  Stumbling towards them to grab a bunch,  Mom called me inside... "Lunch!" ***The thorns could wait***    When Life Was Still Fun Contest Winner Recognized
