~The Dragon Flies' Lair IV~
November 7, 2003 | bentfeather

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Sheesh! Your temps are a little higher than ours but we don't have the winds you have. Ours died down when the sun set this evening. But after 70+ degrees for the past several days, this feels like zero to me. LOL!

I'm glad to hear your granddaughter is ok! Sorry to hear about her car, though. When deer meet cars, the cars usually lose. Sometimes the deer lose....we saw one on the side of the interstate on the way home from Chattanooga this afternoon. So sad. :-(

it don't mean nuthin'

Yep, that's what you always said
when you were scared
when you were lonely
when you were getting shot at
when you saw your buddies die
when you wanted to cry
when you wanted to come home
when your love left you
when you were tired of the jungle
when you couldn't trust anyone
when you wanted just for a shower
and a warm bed
and when you weren't welcomed home

it meant somethin'

Nope, i couldn't comfort you
i couldn't hold you in the night
i couldn't wipe away your tears
i couldn't make you laugh
and forget your fears
i couldn't welcome you home

Yet i'll tell you boy
for what you gave
for what you sacrificed
it meant somethin allright
and i'll Never Forget

Why, thank you! I'll take all the sympathy I can get.

Coffee is good too .. drank most of a pot after blowing snow last night. :)

You're more than welcome. When it comes to folks getting lots of the s-word, I've got plenty of sympathy to give. Hate the stuff!!! Not a winter person at all! LOL!

Hot chok-lit is my preference but if it's cold outside, any hot drink will do.

Brrrrrr, I just got goosebumps thinking about all your s-word.

Conspiracy Guy took Jacko in. The story about him turning himself in is a hoax. See Photo..
