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 me...

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...

In the Concrete Confessional

He kneels on the little room’s hard stone floor,
clasps his hands tightly and bows his weary head,
whispering soft the truest words he’s ever held within.

Only he and his maker know his last words,
and the weary heart from which they came,
and the depth and width of a lost soul in pain.

He confesses his transgressions and more,
feeling the bite, the bitterness of what he’s said,
the too long list of his life long toll of sin.

Knowing the futility of hope, grace unheard,
and setting the record straight in His name,
he now waits to see if he’ll transcend his mortal stain.

[Soaring Feather]

Snow, oh my, we have has rain!! Nearly all the snow is gone now. YAY. It is very damp and chilly outside now. Don't care very much for that.

[Soaring Feather]

[blackie]

The snow barely stuck, it's 39°F, right now at 1351 hours.

[Soaring Feather]

Gold Wrapping Paper




The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her 5 year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and said, "This is for you, Momma."

The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner. "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?"

She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full." The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.


An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life. Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Furthermore, I don't like your trick questions. LOL

I missed every one of them cause I could not cheat. :(

[Reaper FReeper]

Hey I have a new poem, it's kind of dark though. LOL!

[Soaring Feather]

Well, are you gonna post it for us?? ;)

[WayzataJOHNN]

You told me I could not cheat. ;(

True, but I did give you ample time to apply sweet words and flattery (as I had suggested), as I have a real weakness for beautiful women, and you passed it up. How could I let you slide on the answers, when you didn't even try to sweet talk me or anything???

[Soaring Feather]

I would rather cheat!! I could have googled the answers, did I no.

Sweet talk just ain't up my alley. Wink, wink.
