On the wagon

I quit smoking

I'm on the wagon, I stopped smoking bud
I'm not braggin, I just never thought I could
It's one of the hardest things I've done
Part of its because its my addiction
The other part is cause I just love the high
But alas, it's time to say goodbye
So my leafy friend, I must say farewell
I know youd never leave me, not through your own free will
Yes, some could say you're just a plant
But to me you've always been a friend
So why am I givin you up?
I'm just getting too old for you, it's time to grow up
Already I feel slower
Without my little flower
But maybe one day well meet again
Knowing me, it'll probably be when i put down this pen

I was after my husband his whole life to stop smoking...he didnt smoke when I married him but not soon after he started ha...when i got pregnant..ive always hated him smoking...its a stinky habit..haa..but i see you didn't smoke except for weed...something that I never tried...easy to say no when you have never tried it...ha...Rose

Weed opens the mind beyond belief, the first couple times
You smoke it you'll laugh your a*s off, but when you get used to it
It puts you in a trance state of mind. I'm by no means saying to try it. Just that me personally,
I love it. I quit though, mainly because I have 3 kids, a four year old and a set of five month old twins
A boy and girl. I just don't want them growing up around it.

[SyberRose]

Wow twins too...you don't need to be in a trance around kids ha

[MikeV]

Lol I agree. My kids are my life
They are truly the only high I need :)

'Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?' ;-)
Live your life! they way you want to, it belongs to no one else but you... Just never look back and regret, enjoy it while you have it!
Another belter here and the reason why is because you write about things you care about, so they are honest and from the heart. Get writing I'm gunna run out soon!!

I haven't seen Mary Jane since 1989. (well I have seen her a few times since then if I wanna be truthful Ha!) She was a sweet little thing and I do miss her sometimes. Good for you for takin bare of business and quitting the stuff. It is the best thing for your kids, Mike. That last line had me laughing, mister. Stay on the straight and narrow, now. Angi~

[MikeV]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you got that last line lol
Again thank you for the review and words of encouragement :)

[Angi]

Anytime, mister.

We all have to grow up sometime.. this might well have been metaphor for all I know.. and I know little about the subject.. Flower child of the sixties but all my leaves and flowers were in my hair.. Rose

[MikeV]

Thank you Rose, I always wonder how it'd been if I could go back to the sixties

[shallimarRose]

First, congratulation on doing that and I'm glad you are sharing that with others. Your leafy friends will be sad and the tobacoo companies will be hurt in the end...
But you have to look after your own health...A splendid read and write...:)

[MikeV]

Thank you very much! I never touched cigarettes but I was
Quite the weed smoker lol. I hope I can really quit tho
Again, thank you for the review :)

[Sami Khalil]

OK. I understand. You are welcome...:)
