The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Daughter of a friend of the groom, they came up from (Ohio? Indiana?) the night before and left the cape at home...they phoned down and Gramma overnighted it to the motel...which cost more than the cape :)

Now them's friends.

Hey, that sounds like me and PE. I had Karateboy, now we have Bittygirl. Don't know about possible future kiddos. We are having fun right now with the ones we already have, and our pets.

Indeed...

I didn't hold out much hope anymore. It sure didn't look good. Call the Pope. We got us a Miracle. :-)

It is a joy when one of these deathwatch stories turns out the right way (at least for most). On this 10th day of Christmas we have glad tidings!
