A Walk in the Park (Free verse) by Dovina

Swaying gently in breezy park skipping, tripping mellow sun grass waving skirt fanned out as if it saw you an arm of womanhood beckoning come I knew how I looked and loved what I knew the essence of style was me was strong could win battles as a lily wins a bee Then upon a rose my flowing skirt did catch jerked back as father’s hand had years ago when playing on a ledge A little rip I heard a scar in pink chiffon its partner on my heart Turning back along the pretty path the road that brought me here no more wise, no less giddy for I am pretty just the same no scar can hide the way I am

You are absolutely right. I was under the wrong impression. Ecclesiastes was written by a son of David, king of Jerusalem. Though there is some controversy about which one. Ecclesiaticus is a completly other book. Thank God we had this conversation. Also NIV is translated directly from hebrew & greek. They adhere the philosophy that the intention of the words is what needs to be translated and not the literal words. On their website they give the example of the word 'Vanity', in Greek the word literaly translates as vapor. After much consideration they decided to stay with the traditional 'vanity'.

Thanks for helping me pull my head out off my ass.
