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...

You’re welcome Meg.

“WJ are you awake yet? You didn’t sample too much of the holiday cheer did you? You know what that does to the knees and palms of the hands.”

Can’t do holiday cheer until I finish with morning service, after that, I’m fair game! Rested up a bit, worked on the book, went over to the in-laws and had a magnificent dinner, and opened presents. Blew them away giving them all photo printers, so they can now print their own pictures right at home, and now maybe I’ll get some to put in the scrapbook.

I hope your holiday was as much fun and as nice as mine was. And now I sit her sipping on 20 year old scotch, and smoking a good cigar, I’m content!!!!!!!!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Goodnight everyone.


My valiant knight
thy furrowed brow
tell stories not spoken
but hangs heavy as your cloak
hanging from slumping shoulders
war worn, tired from bloody battle


of clashing blades, slashing swords,
yet holding forth a stalwart posture
of honor while bent from battle
on this night-come my knight
to your maiden's chambers tower
high away from the clamor
to the midnight hour of magic moments


Lay thy bloodied beaten head
upon the softness of my bed
and lay in peace 'til the cock doth crow
then off to battle thou must go


White Knight honor to uphold
bravely striding before the fold
leading your company to victory
and bestow your world with fealty...

Sound like you had a great day. Mine was peaceful and opened gifts. I sent most gifts to people via FEDEX as they live in all sorts of places (Los Angeles, Charlotte, NC, Phoenix, AZ). Just finishing an eggnog spiked with brandy. The Coversier comes later.

[NY Attitude]

Good night Soaring Feather. Rest well.

[WayzataJOHNN]

“eggnog spiked with brandy”

Now theres a holiday pick me up that can lay you down!

“The Coversier comes later.”

Ahhh yes, just right for that mellow moment of contemplation, (just before sleep hits you!)

[WayzataJOHNN]

the website listed is about a single soldier, who made some hard decisions, and helped a small handicapped boy from Iraq to find a new life. It is touching, and real , and worth the couple of minutes to read it.

[NY Attitude]

You are correct. It is a touching story.

[WayzataJOHNN]

One guy with a heart the size of Manhattan, and the courage to do something hard for one kid. That is a hero!

[NY Attitude]

I am going to wimp out tonight and hit the sack as I have to get up early. Have a pleasant rest of the evening.

[WayzataJOHNN]

OK, nighty night (or whatever you wear to sleep in.)

[tongue-tied]

Thank you Meg! Hope yours was very merry, too.

[tongue-tied]

hmmm...I Googled Kremenchug, Ukraine for school location. Seems there is some sort of mail order bride business there or something.

Gee whiz Wally, do you think that's right?

lolololol

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL
Good to hear from you!

[NY Attitude]

A little bear sleeps in his little bear skin, he sleeps very well I am told. Last night I slept in my little bare skin and I got a heck of a cold.

Quote from a Spike Jones record, Circa 1945 - 46?
