Poetry and Potpourri .... November 3-4, 2003

.................................................................








The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.

FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.

I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

Thank you for posting "WHEN I HAVE FEARS THAT I MAY CEASE TO BE" for us to enjoy.
I enjoy seeing the poems that others choose to share.
Thank you, again.

Things are dandy here in North Texas. Carl keeps the coffee going. Let me know if he tries to slip away !! LOL !

I'm going to step out shortly and run to Wal-Mart and pic up a few things. Most importantly some chicken leg quarters so I can BBQ outside very shortly. It's supposed to turn cooler tomorrow so I thought I'd take advantage of the weather today !!

By the way, CBS had their #1 PR guy make an announcement today. Did you already hear ?? ...


CBS will not broadcast THE REAGANS
on November 16 and 18. This decision
is based solely on our reaction to
seeing the final film, not the controversy
that erupted around a draft of the script.

"Amy, are you Scorpio? I saw you comment on the horoscope yesterday"

No, I'm a Capricorn. I meant to say that since I wasn't born on November 3rd, I didn't need to worry about sensitive people. Sorry for any confusion. Are you Scorpio?

Thank you for bringing those unicorns back here every morning. The day seems okay when I see them.

Capricorns? Oh....so that it explains why you're both...uh...

Just kidding. Virgo checking in here. Victoria is a Sagittarius with a birthday coming. *snort*

I'm posting on the run. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are C~R~A~Z~Y for me. Insane I tell ya! I'm going to a Pampered Chef party tonight.

I found the sweetest picture and just had to post it. Someone use it for a nice poem. I don't have time to look for one. (pant, pant, pant) I just couldn't let this picture go unposted. It reminds me of my little girl when I told her to paint an apple. I left the room for a second and came back with the green apple covered in red paint. ROFL!!! I can't complain because she DID obey me. hehehe

Love and hugs. Be back later hopefully...maybe...probably not...sigh.

THE WONDER OF GOD

I am filled with wonder when I behold
A tiny, little bird in its nest.
My heart sings out in rapturous praise
To God who knows and loves me
best.
Like the tiny, little bird,
I am sheltered in God's care;
He who knows when a sparrow falls
Watches over me everywhere.

I am filled with wonder when I behold
A glimmering, star-studded sky.
I am reminded of Him who calls the stars by name,
Who loves me and keeps me as the "apple of His eye."

Like the stars in the heavens,
I am one in a multitude;
Yet, He knows every hair on my head!
For such love, I am filled with gratitude.

I am filled with wonder when I behold
Blue sparkling waters and shimmering white sands.
He who "comprehended the dust of the earth
In a measure," holds even me in the hollow of His hand.

I am filled with wonder when I think that
He who "measured the waters in the hollow of His hands,
Meted out heaven with a span," never forgets me
For I'm "graven upon the palms of His hands!"
