You might never see them except for significant times like these. Meeting again reminds us that life and memories join with others’ memories.

Lori, I meant to ping you to 1560. Thank you, too. ;)

Love’s Prayer

By James Whitcomb Riley

DEAR Lord! kind Lord!
Gracious Lord! I pray
Thou wilt look on all I love,
Tenderly to-day!
Weed their hearts of weariness;
Scatter every care,
Down a wake of angel wings
Winnowing the air.

Bring unto the sorrowing
All release from pain;
Let the lips of laughter
Overflow again;
And with all the needy
O divide, I pray,
This vast treasure of content
That is mine to-day!

[JustAmy]

What a precious graphic!! Thank you.

I’ll see what I can do about hugs and love for this week. I may have an “In”. ;^ )

[JustAmy]

LOVELY, Yorkie.

You are finding beautiful Love poems for today.

Thank you.

I need to find one that is short and sweet.

[JustAmy]

Yes .... so many memories are forgotten until we meet with others that share those memories.

[jaycee]

That has always been a favorite of mine, yorkie! Its so lovely!

[jaycee]

L. J. I enjoyed this poem very much. I haven’t been feeling on top this morning or afternoon and I am getting ready for a nap. Snnnnnorrrr.....

[Lady Jag]

And you remember your memories go beyond you.

[Lady Jag]

Rest well, Jaycee; it's probably all you need is to catch up with yourself.

[jaycee]

Amy, you have a lovely Holidays display today. I may get to join in later.

[JustAmy]

Have a restful nap, Jaycee.

[JustAmy]

I’ll be back.

No school today so I need to find something for my child to eat. :)

[yorkie]

"I need to find one that is short and sweet."

Here's one:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you!

Received this funny picture in my email just now. Thought I would share it with y'all.....

Hundreds Attend Global Warming Protest

Have a happy 'Love Week', everyone!

[yorkie]

Another short, sweet one:

Love - what is love

by Robert Louis Stevenson

To friends at home, the lone, the admired, the lost
The gracious old, the lovely young, to May
The fair, December the beloved,
These from my blue horizon and green isles,
These from this pinnacle of distances I,
The unforgetful, dedicate

[Billie]

Woo Hoo!! We have rain, wonderful, needed rain!

LOL! That's cute, Meg. :) We did, too, the phone line I use just for pc must have drowned, cause it was dead last night when I tried to get here and see your Sunday posts. Repairman just left about an hour ago, and I wanted to check the thread and say hello!

LOTS of beauty yesterday from all as well as today, the beginning of "Love Week" at Amy's. :)

Amy and Lori, you started the week off with such a pretty opening, and I'm downloading the song right now.

Jaycee, smiling at your post to Amy and me (as I did when Yorkie did it the other day!) See, Lori, that'll teach you to take a break from making the openings - they just took it for granted it was mine! LOL

LOL

Maybe I can use that one. :)
