Something Free

 The Gift With No Price Tag

I found a treasure yesterday,
Though not a dime was spent.
No clerk rang up a single sale,
No bill was ever sent.

It wasn't gold or diamonds bright,
Nor some expensive thing.
It didn't come wrapped up with bows,
Or tied with fancy string.

A neighbor shared a kindly smile
As I was passing by.
A friend called just to say hello
And ask me how and why.

The morning sun warmed up the porch,
The breeze danced through the trees.
The robin sang a cheerful tune
Upon the morning breeze.

The finest gifts I've ever known
Were never bought or sold.
They're found in moments freely given,
Worth far more than gold.

For things received without a cost
Can sometimes be the best;
A helping hand, a laugh, a hug,
Or time to stop and rest.

So, if today brings something free,
Don't let it pass away.
Some priceless gifts arrive in life
Without a price to pay.

We Should Write a Book

While things are getting back to normal around my office now that the third book in The Inspector Quincy Series is published; I find that there are always questions that go left unanswered. There may be characters that were left hanging somewhere in the last story. I'm thinking about Oswald Grayson at the moment. Where did I leave that poor boy in the last story "The Quiet Ending?"  I'm sure that if we pay attention to what Thad and Chad have to say, there might be a clue, somewhere. - K Douglas Frazier Possible book cover? The Next Step: Let's Write a Book. "Hey Chad, we should write a book about what happened to us while we were on the planet Soplos." "Yeah, let's do that, little brother." I know that you already have read what Inspector Quincy has said about our adventures.
