The Garden
Soft Poetry By Sand
The wind blows through the willow tree, Its limbs bent to the ground
The river flows beside the tree, the lapping water pounds
Beneath a sky of brilliant blue, serene within a garden
A woman softly hums a tune, the world outside forgotten
Her auburn hair falls to her waist, a basket on her arm
She gently picks the roses there, careful of the thorns
Planted with the greatest care,tended with much love
The garden that she walks in, was once nothing but dust
Life is like a garden, planted with great care
Nourished with a gentle love, it produces flowers everywhere
The fragrance drifts upon the breeze and lingers overhead
Sharing its beauty with the world in which we live

New Buddies
A couple of new buddies have just shown up at our door,
And we were wondering what the heck they came here for,
But then we realized that wed put out the welcome mat,
And they could surely see it at the height theyre standing at.
So welcome friends, pull up a chair, er, make yourselves at home,
And we can have a good time if the elk dont come to roam.
Other animals are here, the wolf, and bears and such,
So why not have some rodents too, they will not eat too much.
We know they will be sociable, their family is like that,
And they can whistle up some charm, if someone drops a hat.
I hope they might be poets, we could use some more of those,
The ones we have are such that we must keep them on their toes.

Cute little rodent poem, NnB. ;-)
Thank you for adding such delightful poems to the graphics I make.
I am about to post the Indiana thread over at the Finest. I know you wanted to see that before you left, Amy, since that is where you are headed. An Indiana ping will be on it's way shortly.

Vacations
Too much work, and no vacation,
Deserves at least a small libation.
So hail! my friends, and raise your glasses;
Work's the curse of the drinking classes."

In Their Hands
Their daily jobs are risky,
But it is what they do.
They risk their lives for others,
Protecting me and you.
They fight fires and they fight crooks,
They fight our foreign foes.
When no fight is going on,
They still stay on their toes.
They train and wait, wait and train,
Praying they wont need it.
But danger always rears its head,
Then they go defeat it.
A simpler life, they could lead,
But thats not in their plans.
Freedoms future one could say,
Is resting in their hands.
