Leaving on a Jet Plane

Struggling to get broken zipper closed
carry on baggage now way beyond full
trip is o'er, mission's end seems complete
how I'm dreading that awful middle seat!.

Maybe if I just close my eyes
during thousands of miles I must fly
I can pretend the week was just a dream
I'll not remember his angry screams!.

Back home weary suitcase I'll unpack
dirty laundry first chore to be done
though carry on will be stowed away
baggage on my shoulders will forever stay!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They always lose the wrong baggage at the airport, don't they!?

I guess they can't destroy what they can't see!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have my deepest sympathies!. This is the closest you'll ever come to death without dying!.!.!. for I believe you are flying out of Atlanta!. We natives of this area have a saying!.!.!. "Even dead souls bound for hell, have to first go through the airport in Atlanta!."

I've done it well over a hundred times, and not once did I look forward to my stay at the airport!. Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

yeppers,,, from the title I thought you were having flashbacks this morning

baggage upon the shoulder,,, I often wish I knew how to check it in,,,then, maybe, it would get lost along with the other checked items

I guess you were having flashbacks, just a different sort and source

Though one may seem absent
Know that one is with you always
That hand is still extended, never hesitant
Shoulders to lean on nights or days!.
Read the words from those above
Know that you are surrounded by love!.

Beautiful and sad, a perfect combination Ma!.

Some baggage is heavier as we get older!. If you find yourself struggling with it, ask for help, please!. You're carrying more than your own luggage!. And, the other bags are indeed heavy!. Sometimes you just can't do it on your own!. And, that's O!.K!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I always think of Peter, Paul and Mary with the love being left behind as comfort!. As for that invisible baggage it contains some beautiful scraps for a crazy quilt to warm your heart!. Given time we see that and the bag becomes lighter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sorry the trip wasn't a good one!. Try not to let the baggage weigh you down too much & just let that big ol' jet airliner carry you back where you belong!.

Peter Paul and Mary ,,,,,sung it best ,,,,But I believe that even a bag of bricks gets lighter after a while ,,,,,Your shoulders are strong,,,, Ma,,,Even the strongest need a break ,,,So ease up a little on yourself ,,,,,,,And get out of Atlanta in One pieceWww@QuestionHome@Com

In the middle seat you're safe from deadly buffalo thighs!. As for the baggage on your shoulders!.!.!.!. call it a Tumi and spite him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Even double straps seldom help the 'shoulder' luggage!. Time lessens, a long hot shower or soak eases too!. Just don't try to fly solo, like Denver!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
