Difficulties make love more significant, don't they.
We don't find many twists in poems and this one's unusual, but that's one reason I like it.

Oh, thank you, Amy! I'm so glad you like it that much. :) It's very uplifting and the background music is WONDERFUL! Something that is missing in most of the songs heard on the radio now. I like to hear REAL instruments, not fake stuff that sounds like you punch a button on a Hammond Organ to get "drums", another one for "horns", etc.
Just ONE of the many reasons why Taylor Hicks' music is so special to me - it's all real, including his voice, which hasn't been pro-tooled to death.
Your yellow and white bouquet and lace frame - nice! :)

Guess what? Its naptime~~yawn~~

Thank you, Meg - and what gorgeous red tulips you found, too!

This is why I remember the song so well, Billie! I wish Turner Classic Movies would air that one. I would be sure and watch it. I know I would also need plenty of kleenex. I think I will go to YouTube and see if I can find if someone has made a video with Jane Froman singing it.
To: Billie
I wish they would too! They show some a lot older than this one! Maybe we could search their website! It was one of those tear-jerkers like we saw so many of in the “olden days”...LOL! I saw a lot of war movies when I was a young girl. I remember several movies with Van Johnson and June Allyson.....always sad! But sometimes, happy endings, sometimes not! June Allyson’s voice could make one cry! Bet Amy remembers her well, too!
Here I go again....when I was about 10/11, you could order pictures of the stars with their signatures. They were made like postcards. I ordered several! One of these days, when I run across them, I will try to get them to the computer.....I bet they are very valuable! Of course I got June Allyson and Van Johnson, Shirley Temple, Margaret O’Brian, other guys, but can’t remember at the moment. The stars back then were genuine and appreciated ‘we the people’.

In time of silver rain
The earth
Puts forth new life again,
Green grasses grow
And flowers lift their heads,
And over all the plain
The wonder spreads
Of life,
Of life,
Of Life!
In time of silver rain
The butterflies
Lift silken wings
To catch a rainbow cry,
The trees put forth
New leaves to sing
In joy beneath the sky
As down the roadway
Passing boys and girls
Go singing, too,
In time of silver rain
When Spring
And life
Are new.

Shhhhhh. It’s Quiet Time at Amy’s. :)
To: jaycee
WHO is that? That's what I dislike about tinypic the most - the file name doesn't give us a clue what the picture is. LOL
It's also what I like about tinypic the most - it doesn't give away the picture by the file name!
To: yorkie
Thank you, yorkie. I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

How beautiful that poem is!
Irises are my favorites, and my white one
blooms in EARLY March.
Everyone have a great spring day!

This is a most beautiful poem, yorkie, and so is the painting.
To: jaycee
What a pretty scroll with daffodils and..crocus? and some other flower? :) The table border is a great finishing touch!
