Freeing? *giggle* I feel like I'm supposed to hop on one foot backwards with my eyes closed instead of skipping along to the tune in my head. I know...I know...It's good for me to try something new! *SMILE* Here's another one for practice: President Ronald Reagan A lot of grief has taken But he stoo...

*smile* I knew you'd get Piper in there eventually! Here's one about my granddaughter: Evelyn Amy Webber Has the cutest wittle mouth ebber; Even turning down Her coochy-poochy lip is the most adorable frown. (How did you get a picture on here?

Re: The Journey Home

Through the frozen moonlight and across the virgin snow, I make the lonely journey to the home I've yet to know, still I can feel the warmth of a hearth that waits for me, in a cabin in the woods, in a land I've yet to see. Oh, I love this one! There so much symbolism in it. Wow... the more I read ...

*Deep Breath*

You really know how to stretch a person!


Little Sally puffed and frowned;
Pulled up the top, stretched the pants,
Toothy smile and happy stance,
Wore her jammies upside down.

I find my thoughts slip naturally into quatrains (usually in the abab rhyming pattern) Many of our old hymns are in this pattern. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing it's worth; It sounds like music in my ear, The sweetest name on earth. ("Oh, How I Love Jesus" by Frederick Whit...

Flaming orange and red
Exploding with a final bang
Goodbye, farewell, gone.


Let me see if I can fix it....

Flaming orange and red
