I agree. You come to recognize Nicknamed Bob's rhythm in poetry, but this poem is especially touching and the graphic is terrific too.

"... I cant thank NicknamedBob enough for posting such touching words ..." Oh, sure you can. I'm quite the softy.
Want to know what I like? I like this one ...
Look At Me! Im Flying!
Look at me! Im flying! was what my young one said,
And sure enough, I saw the clouds of Glory round his head.
His vision unimpeded, I watched him swoop and soar,
His landing gear did Touch-and-Goes across the kitchen floor.
I picked him up, and swung him round. He held his arms out straight,
An aeronautic acrobat, in sight of Heavens Gate.
Ive flown, myself, and I had pride, that Man had conquered flight,
While He who rules the Heavens smiled in humor at the sight,
And held His hand to guide us, as we reached out in trying,
He lifted us, as we did Him, for Look at me! Im flying!

Poetic license; I don't have a son. I had two daughters.
But I
was a boy. I still have part of him inside me.

The Dangers Of Success
Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes. Deuteronomy 8:11
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said that he learned to pray in a Siberian concentration camp because he had no other hope. Before his arrest, when things were going well, he seldom gave God a thought.
Similarly, the Israelites learned the habit of depending on God in the Sinai wilderness where they had no choice; they needed His daily intervention just to eat and drink. But when they finally stood on the banks of the Jordan River, they awaited a more difficult test of faith. After they entered the land of plenty, would they soon forget God?
The Israelites knew little about the seductions of other cultures, having spent their lives in the desert. Moses was more afraid of the coming prosperity than the rigors of the desertthe alluring sensuality, the exotic religions, the glittering wealth. The Israelites might put God behind them and credit themselves for their success (Deut. 8:11,17).
Ironically, success makes it harder to depend on the Lord. The Israelites did prove less faithful after they moved into the Promised Land. Again and again they turned their hearts to other gods.
Beware of the temptation that success brings. There is grave danger in getting what we want.
I blindly ask for what I crave,
With haughty heart and will so stout;
He oft denies me what I seek,
But gives me grace to do without. Anon.
There is no failure more disastrous than the success that leaves God out.
Bible in One Year:
Psalms 105107

Today Is "Neither Rain Nor Snow" Day
It celebrates the opening of the New York Post Office
building on this day in 1914.
This following inscription was inscribed on the building:
"Neither snow nor rain not heat nor gloom of night ,stays
these couriers from the swift completion of their
appointed rounds."

Same here, it’s supposed to be nice all day. We have a big party this afternoon, a combo Birthday party for my two oldest sons, Elijah 21 and Jacob 19. About 50 people confirmed attending.
We set up a big tent and mega food. Will be a busy day at our house.

Meg, you've outdone yourself this morning. All of your posts are so nice, beautiful, and informative, I just want to give you one big "thank you" for all. I also looked at all the lovely 'grandparents day' poetry. How sweet they are! Glad to know you are feeling better to get all that done. We are giving my son a surprise birthday party today so I will be busy for the rest of the day. Hope all our FRiends have a beautiful Sunday.
