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...

Verse For a Certain Dog

 

 

Such glorious faith as fills your limpid eyes,
Dear little friend of mine, I never knew.
All-innocent are you, and yet all-wise.
(For Heaven's sake, stop worrying that shoe!)
You look about, and all you see is fair;
This mighty globe was made for you alone.
Of all the thunderous ages, you're the heir.
(Get off the pillow with that dirty bone!)

A skeptic world you face with steady gaze;
High in young pride you hold your noble head,
Gaily you meet the rush of roaring days.
(Must you eat puppy biscuit on the bed?)
Lance like your courage, gleaming swift and strong,
Yours the white rapture of a winged soul,
Yours is a spirit like a Mayday song.
(God help you, if you break the goldfish bowl!)

"Whatever is, is good" - your gracious creed.
You wear your joy of living like a crown.
Love lights your simplest act, your every deed.
(Drop it, I tell you- put that kitten down!)
You are God's kindliest gift of all - a friend.
Your shining loyalty unflecked by doubt,
You ask but leave to follow to the end.
(Couldn't you wait until I took you out?)

Dorothy Parker

Afternoon, Lady!

We are having a beautiful day today, sun is out but there is a nip in the air. Going on a grocery run later on today.

How’s it going for you today?

Love the graphic and cute dog poem.

It is a lovely day here as well. For the first Tuesday in months it’s not raining or snowing!

We had to relinquish one of our cats to God yesterday. Even while she fought the good fight, she remained the happiest girl. Sleep well, Momma Cat.

Oh so sorry about the cat, I know so well the loss in your heart.

Sleep well, Momma Cat
we did love you well
we’ll miss your purrs
your happy face
but we know for you
Momma Cat, you are in a
happy place.

Clever bunch!

Who says Today's Kids aren't smart ???????

At a high School in Montana a group of high schoolers played a prank on the school.

They let three goats loose in the school.

Before they let them go they painted numbers on the sides of the goats....1, 2, & 4.

Local school administrators spent most of the day looking for #3.
