Fiery Friend

I have a fiery friend

who bark is worse than her bite?

She is outspoken, talkative

and far from shy.

But inside she processes

a great big heart.

She would do anything

from anyone.

Kind, considerate and sweet.

But at face value and

first words

you would run a mile.

moral of this truth

is never judge a person

by the cover get to

know them first.

I can't count the number of times Ive been wrong about a person. First impressions are not always the best judge of a person . .. we're far deeper than our skin!

Some people are just loud, doesn't mean they're bad people.
Usually, when you get to know them, they're like everyone else.

Exactly Paul. My point precisely. Dawn.

This is a very good write, I enjoyed the flow as well

[Stella Armour]

I must admit i do shy away from loud people , I don't like aggression in any form... but good for you taking the time to find the goodness inside her :)

[Onlyme]

We are all different Stella. That is what makes the world go around. She is 79 years of age. Very independent and character. But nice one. None of us are perfect. Not even me. :) But Thanks Stella that was kind of you to say. Dawn

[Stella Armour]

No, you are right none of us are perfect and it is nicwe when the younger generation take an interest in us ..

[Onlyme]

Oh, Stella, I didn't mean anything with her age etc. As I think maybe, I have offended you. As I don't know your age? Forgive me If I have said anything wrong. Dawn.

[Stella Armour]

haha... you don't offend me Dawn, i will be 74 soon and am past being offended .. i love being with younger people because so many of my own age are just grumblers :)

[Onlyme]

Ah good, Glad to know I never upset you Stella, I was worried in-case I had by accident. Stella, I know what you mean, but between you and me they come in all ages. The younger they are the moaner they are. Particularly moody teenagers... And men in their 50s LOL

[Stella Armour]

it's all about being grateful for what you have , not grumbling about what you have not...

[Onlyme]

I agree wholeheartedly with you on that Stella. 100 percent. Well said.

Dear Dawn, that is often the case. Unfortunately first impressions can count and some aren't prepared to put up with the barking. Pleased you persevered with your friend to find her true self. You went digging and found the bone (lol).

Chris My friend, is a sweetheart, she can talk the hind legs of a donkey and me too. But she really has a good heart. She is 79years of age.

[Chris Shaw]

Bless her, and may she continue to have many more years to bless you with her friendship. It is good she has a friend like you Dawn who understands her and can see her good qualities :)

[Onlyme]

Chris, none of us are perfect.I always try to remind myself of that fact. And she is quite a character always gives me sweets to take home. bless her. Dawn.

[Chris Shaw]

She's like a chocolate, hard coating and soft centre. Sounds like a strawberry cream to me :))

[Onlyme]

Defo, Chris, put it this way. She would need a strong man to sort her out.

[Chris Shaw]

Ya know. I do like the sound of a woman who rules the roost :)

[Onlyme]

Sadly I don't rule the roost. Its more fifty fifty in my house. LOL

[Chris Shaw]

Same here, just pleased I'm not the under dog :)

[Onlyme]

Oh god, could you imagine it. Never getting off our knees.

[Chris Shaw]

lol, thank God we live in this age and not in the past when hubby had his dinner on the table and his slippers by the fire when he came home from work, while his wife had dolled herself up to be seductive for her man, waiting on him hand and foot :))

[Onlyme]

I think some men wish those days were back again. Like how their mothers looked after them as a child growing up.

[Chris Shaw]

I'm absolutely sure, some of them would love that :))

[Onlyme]

Sometimes I think men try to turn us into their mums. :)
