Great riddle, great answer!  That's got to be right!
For those of us (if there are any besides me) who were stumped but now seeing the answer so plainly,
I have a simple one:

I'm a slippery fish in a cloudy sea;
Neither hook nor spear will capture me;
With your hand you must hunt and seize this fish,
To see that it ends up in the dish.

that's simple one to gain us back our confidence.

Heavenly Father help me to persevere, to strive where my will is weak, and to begin again where I have failed, that whatever I lack in love, I may put right in the trying. Amen.

and another appropriate one:

What do we see every day,
Kings see rarely,
And God never sees?

There is God, the One and Only.
Then there are kings, not so many of them these days. I think even queens outnumber them Grin
And then of course there is us.
 What is it that we see daily Shin, Patricia, that God never sees  Huh?

Congratulations on the Soap!!!  Easy as soon as you see it, right?

Sorry I've not been back on for a while -- I'm still recovering after losing a week of my life to the real flu -- I've been converted to now totally believing in getting the flu shot.

OK -- someone has to actually POST the answer so someone can ask a new one, please?
