The Dragonflie's Lair~Thread XLV
Poets of The Lair | November 30, 2007 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 11/30/2007 7:48:14 PM PST by Soaring Feather





My Dragonfly 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...

;o) I do love making graphics! Well..I am snug in the bed..looking out on a clear day and with no pain..It’s when I get up my trouble starts..I have been watching Hallmark channel and considering cooking for me!
I always get ambitious when I find relief..

Have a wonderful Christmas gathering..I wish I had one of your cookies and a sausage roll! I will probably be back to post more graphics..to “all” lest I get someone’s comments page filled up..
;o)

*HUGS*

Meg, if you wish something to frame in the Lair, why don’t you frame WJ’s poem the day before, the day before. I bet he would love that and so would all of us.

the day before, the day before
Christmas is a family treat
prepping for that special day
arriving on wings of time so fleet
the smells from the kitchen
the pies so tempting sweet
a tree to decorate with lights
that auntie ‘ll call neat

snow draped outdoors call for fun
a fireside to warm up by a treat
tobogganing and sledding down a hill
and dinner after is so neat
presents shared amid the laughs
makes a time for us so sweet
live it all and hold it close
for its a time that passes fleet

Is it morning yet? I must say that the Lair has many beautiful graphics and postings for this wonderful Christmas season. Happy to hear that WJ is feeling better after 19 hours of sleep and the he with stealth took the coveted # 1400 spot. Unfortunately through his advanced age he had forgotten that a regular gargle a few times per day with a fine spirit would kill most germs and put a glow on one’s outlook. I hope that everyone is fine and has gotten all of the Christmas shopping done.

With the redundancy in text and other mistakes, you can tell by the posting that I haven’t consumed a lot of coffee. LOL.

Good to hear from you!! Yes, we have been busy making pretties for the Lair. My family draws names so it is easy for us to shop for family. Gift certificates are great.

News, my mouse is dieing, LOL.

Do you plan some family plans or marching off to the salt mines?

Yes, good news for Johnn’s recovery.

Happy happy to you!

I ripped this off from Kathyinalaska

From this morning’s email......

A blonde woman goes to the post office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards.

She says to the clerk, “May I have 50 Christmas stamps?”

The clerk says, “What denomination?”

The woman says, “God help us. Has it come to this?

Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptists.”

Sorry to hear about your mouse. Have you cleaned the mouse lately? A lot of junk accumulates in it. Plan to stick around here. I saw my younger son when I went to Disneyland and the schedule at the part-time job is in a state of flux. In fact I answered a phone call telling me that I am on for a goodly portion of this week as well as the beginning of next week. My regular job is shut down until after the holidays but that could be temporary depending if something happens somewhere in the world with our clients. It sounds like that you are all set for Christmas and have all of your shopping done. Have a very Merry Christmas.

OK, got a moment after services to put something on here for you MEG!

;^)

Oh hallowed night in starlight so bright
we celebrate His birth among us that night
as Angels sang of a coming of man’s King
Herod feared his title lost as men did sing
sent the Magi to discover Him so to expose
but they followed a dream sent in repose
The Dove was safe in Egypt until recall
after Herod’s final mortal moment’s fall
Celebrate the birth of the King of Kings
who’s songs of praise the ages will ring

Merry Christmas

As we celebrate Jesus’ birth
A day that is to be filled with mirth
A day that to be kind to one another
And treat all as if they were your brother

But in modern times both near and afar
All that is heard are the drums of war
People affected by the war’s misery
Will be written in the pages of history

The days prior to Christmas the merchants were stocking their shelves
As employees were acting as elves
The lights and signs beckoned the shoppers to come in and look at his wares
And spend money so freely and without a care

To see smiling faces on Christmas morn
While some forget that Jesus is born
And the Credit Card Companies are clapping their hands with glee
Imagining that they will get usurious percentage fee

We should not forget to celebrate Jesus’ birth
A day that to be filled with mirth
A day that to be kind to one another
And treat all as if they were your brother
