No, he freepmailed me the one I was looking for, the one I had read years ago. Now I can end my search for it. As I told him, I won't lose it again. :-)
Doesn't fish hawk have an amazing talent? Not only for poetry, but also for painting and sculpture. We are so fortunate that he shares his creations with us.
Thanks for the compliments on my wolf graphic. I made it quite a few years ago. It was "inspired", you know. ;-)
Thanks, Lori. After I posted that comment, I went back to your post and realized it couldn’t be the same poem. I did send a private mail to fish hawk with the graphic I plan to use in the morning, but if I don’t hear from him, I’ll use the poem I’d originally found of course.
Oh Billie.
Use Fish Hawk’s poem. I’m sure he will love how you want to use it.
Hope you get back to the thread tonight, Fish Hawk.
ARE WE WORTHY The passion of woman Is drawn by the words of man To surface in thought Of remembered dreams Soft as the gentle touch Of a poem or a song Yet, with great determination To protect the heart With caution and time Most men do not see the Quiet armor of self- Preservation Until they ride into it Like invisible walls The lesser strength Turns out to be the Strongest of all And with the quiet Patience of time Stops, turns, and waits For the man to catch up Sometimes we are worth it Sometimes not.
Oh .... so very lovely, Fish Hawk.
I’m saving this poem so don’t be surprised if you see it in a future thread. :)
Thank you for sharing your talent.
You’re welcome, Amy..
I was busy yeterday trying to get my favorite coffee maker to work properly..no luck..changing sheets and doing laundry..and went to sleep while I was downloading pictures my son sent of my old slides.
.He got a converter as a Christmas gift..I note I have 20 more emails from him...LOL ..I will be at it a long time..Some are over 50 years old...I am taking a very sentimental journey. It has been decades since I have seen these. I gave them to him 20 years ago ..my projector had not worked properly for years. and the screen was damaged in a move.
I’ll BBL.
My kitties..rescues of my daughter...They are different ages but are good buddies and rassle and play together..My adult Silky has started playing hide and seek and chase with them on occasion..which is good exercise for her..
They keep me busy!..and make me laugh.
Beautiful!
O my..That is a whole bunch of raccoons to feed..LOL

I was sure emulating the kiitties sleep yesterday...

God Bless Our Troops.

One Sunday I heard Mike talk about his relationship with his two fathers—the one who raised him as a child, and his Father in heaven.
First he described his childhood trust toward his earthly father as “simple and uncomplicated.” He expected his dad to fix broken things and to give advice. He dreaded displeasing him, however, because he often forgot that his father’s love and forgiveness always followed.
Mike continued, “Some years ago I made a mess of things and hurt a lot of people. Because of my guilt, I ended a happy, simple relationship with my heavenly Father. I forgot that I could ask Him to fix what I had broken and seek His advice.”
Years passed. Eventually Mike became desperate for God, yet he wondered what to do. His pastor said simply, “Say you’re sorry to God, and mean it!”
Instead, Mike asked complicated questions, like: “How does this work?” and “What if . . .?”
Finally his pastor prayed, “Please, God, give Mike the faith of a child!” Mike later testified joyfully, “The Lord did!”
Mike found closeness with his heavenly Father. The key for him and for us is to practice the simple and uncomplicated faith of a child.
Beautiful site..Thank you for sharing it!
I will be back a little later. Thank you, fish hawk, for allowing me to use this wonderful poem!
