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...

~In Flanders Field~

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

~Never Forget~

~Memorial Day~

Flags today in tribute wave
For those loyal ones who gave
Of their youth, their hopes, their
might
For a cause they knew was right.

Morning bells sound their call,
Pause and say a prayer for all--
All who served valiantly
That men might be ever free.

Toll of bells, drums' slow beat--
Silence falls in every street.
In each heart swells the plea:
Keep us safe, but keep us free!

We Remember


We remember, your answer to your nation’s call
we remember, when so many of you gave your all
we remember, so many of you whose blood was shed
so the rest of us did not have to dread, a bomb at dawn
on our shores, terror in our streets,
trembling behind locked doors,
lest we open them to an enemy.


Our rights you secured with your life
Old Glory, flies freely this day for us
it was the price you paid for your fellowman
to live in freedom in this great land.


We remember, the price was far to costly
the price of war is never cheap
lives are spent as families weep, we remember
your valor on this day, your precious life was taken away.
Hale to Heroes of all past and current wars.


We Remember.

Good morning, Meg, beautiful presentation, thank you.

[Soaring Feather]

In Flanders Field.

I love this poem, and your framing is superb, thank you.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Ms Feather..Indeed we do.

[Soaring Feather]

Dear Kathy, thank you for the inspiration music.

[MEG33]

Thank you again..It was late when I got the computer yesterday..I had a great visit with my son and daughter in law yesterday.

[Soaring Feather]

Wonderful you had a visit! I had plans, but it became necessary to cancel them, so I had a quiet day. Bother called last night from MO, so that was a fun conversation.

Memorial Day

The cool weather and rain have ruined the picnic. The severe consequences are beyond cataclysmic. Hopes for a wonderful carefree stretch are gone. The expectations of merriment are being withdrawn. Memorial Day was designed to honor and show respect. For the sacrificing men and women holding heads erect… Courageous soldiers who protect our privilege to be free. Many died in battle; they no longer have the opportunity. So do not be discontent and complain about the weather. Be thankful you and your family can enjoy smiles together. On this day, while bands march somberly to patriotic songs… Let us appreciate and put our concentration where it belongs. Theresa Moore
