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...

Whoa! Do you have a camera here or a spy? And I SWEAR, that must have just been the sticky door stall the Colonel went into; it'd stuck on several of us prior to that night.

Luckily, no Sailor went in there before the Colonel...bwaahaaahaaaa

It has been pretty good. I've worked some, but not hard. Mostly travel preps and such and squaring away stuff so it won't fall apart while I'm gone.

You have a busy week?

Uh oh...this will be another short week with rushrushrush for Kathy. Good luck then, and um....maybe rest? You can't do it if you're asleep at the kb. Sigh. But try and sleep Ma, even though I know you won't enough.

I got some more pics loaded into Fotki...must be a good night for 'net!

Matthew 6:25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?

27 Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?

28 Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin.

29 But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.

30 If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?

31 So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?'

32 All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

33 But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.

34 Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
***

Happy Lord's Day To The Lair

Good morning Meg! Beautiful cardinals, too.

I found Fotki to be working at the same time as my 'net connection, so was able to get some more pics uploaded, and simply HAD to share this one.



My goddaughter, Jaidyn, after eating her first solid food. Carrots apparently really satisfy.

They are pretty. Regal somehow, with all of that color.

She is a sweetheart! And I am healing well, slowly but surely. Trying to rest up for travel and book learnin' so I can be smarter. Off to read a bit and rest myself.

You have a good Sunday there!

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

One of my favorite passages.
