Ah, if I could start all over again.
Would my smile be any bigger
and would the bubbles make me grin,
as I lather with new soap and snicker?
Oh the joy of fellow friends
who share their bubbly addiction
and their essential oil blends
that would ease most any friction.
Hand in hand, we lend our ears
as we read posts from afar
and help shed the many fears
of the lye that's in the jar.
Remembering how we felt
with joy that springs anew
their first batch under their belt
with smiles all askew. . .
That first batch I'd almost forgot,
with the lessons in between,
friendships made more often than not
with our sharing for all to be seen.
So thanks to my cyber list
for giving me a home,
a place to learn and rest,
and share some bubbly foam.
