*Good GratiTuesday To Amy's Place*

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Good Morning Meg~
Love the poem.
I always remember Mary Ingalls from Little House on The Prairie, when I read Ralph Waldo Emerson...
She quoted him often on the shows with such delight.

I am grateful today.. the sun is shining, I’ve had a delicious bowl of oats and blueberries, and I can still walk! LOL

Have a good day.

It is for thy sake
That I seek the fields in spring,
Gathering green herbs,
While my garment's hanging sleeves
Are with falling snow beflecked.

A Happy GratiTuesday to everyone here at Amy's Place!

It touched my heart. :-)

[trisham]

Mine, too. :)

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Trish. I don’t know why I’M thanking you. I had nothing to do with this. But, she makes me very proud ... not only the wonderful young lady she has become but her delight in sharing her talents.

She has made a few extra dollars drawing pictures for her classmates. She does portraits and greeting cards. She told me she only charges $1. for Mother’s Day cards because they are for mothers. :)

[trisham]

What a sweetie. :)

[JustAmy]

Have a Happy Tuesday, FRiends.

I'm grateful for our beautiful weather.

It is still cool but the sun is shining and the sky is a lovely blue.

SWOOSH

Up in the sky
Wish I could fly
Experiencing a day
Not in the hay
I’m a true bird nerd
What can I say?

Cool!

One of the things I had to learn in songwriting was using words economically.

Looks like Emily gets it! :-)

[JustAmy]

Emily Grace ... that is great. Thank you for sharing.

Newb, she is a very talented you lady. You must be very proud.

Wishing both of you a Terrific Tuesday.

[trisham]

LOL! Nice! :)

[The Mayor]

Your welcome!!

FLOWERS

Flowers smell sweet
(Way better than feet)
Flowers fit in your palm
(They’re loved by your mom)
Flowers are pretty
(Give them to aunt Netty)
Flowers are cool
(You can find them near the pool)
I love flowers
(they give you girl powers)

She is so talented and has a wicked sense of humor! :)

Thanks for sharing her with us!

[newb2012]

Thank you all! Will pass along your kind words to Emily. I can’t disagree with you on her sense of humor :-)

[newb2012]

Speaking of Emily’s sense of humor, here is another which I find pretty funny :-)

NEW YORK

In the night NY
Glows eerie glow
It is way
Brighter than fresh fallen snow

I waited a long time
For a gigantic tour bus
Which would take us
Around the city laid upon thus

The light worked like magic
For the city before thee
Had turned into Disneyland
It was full of fun and glee

And the lady behind me
Drained out the good
She said she got mugged
There in her childhood

Then ending the trip
We drove over Brooklyn Bridge
It’s very good to sail
Over the ridge

- Emily Grace , August 2014
