Death comes like a robber 

In the middle of the night

And changes the faces

Of those we hold tight.

 

Found on Facebook Timeline on 7-24-17. Country and Farm Photography. Taken by Carolyn Anderson.

We sit beside the dying,

See the ravages of time

Reflected in our loved ones,

And feel it is a crime.

 

Because we feel cheated

That we’ll never see again

The energy of youth

And things that might have been.

 

We remember all the secrets

We wish we had told,

And words we left unspoken

While we both grew old.

 

No one knows the dreams

We hid deep inside,

Nor the precious moments

When we both gave in to pride.

 

So it is with sadness, 

We watch their last breath,

As they let go of life

To embrace the arms of death.

Favorite Poems I Like #4: “School.”

I put my heart to school

In the world where men grow wise:

“Go out,” I said, “and learn the rule;”

“Come back when you win a prize.”

 

Found on Country and Farm Photography on 5-7-18. Taken by John McQuiston, 2017.

 

My heart came back again:

“Now where is the prize?” I cried…..

“The rule was false and the prize was pain,”

“And the teacher’s name was Pride.”

 

I put my heart to school

In the woods where the veeries sing

And brooks run clear and cool,

In the fields where wild flowers spring.

 

“And why do you stay so long”

“My heart, and where do you roam?”

The answer came with a laugh and a song,

“I find this school is home.”

-HENRY VAN DYKE-

 

” Nature has never failed me in being my best  teacher,                                      and  my greatest resource for peace”

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

It is the sound of laughter

That fills the summer air

As kids go out to shoot                              

Found on Country and Farm Photography on 7-4-17. Taken by Angie Lee Colona. Sadie Mae ready for the 4th of July.

Fire-crackers every where.

 

It is the smell of hot dogs

Sizzling on a charcoal grill,

And lots of American flags 

Draped over the window sills.

 

It is the crack of a bat

After we sing a song

Honoring our Country

And feeling we all belong.

 

It is a piece of watermelon

Being held by a child,

As she spits out the seeds

And shoves them in a pile.

 

It is the pride that we feel

In celebrating America’s birth, 

And the many ways we find

To honor all she’s worth.
