Most of the poetry I know is 1960s song lyrics!
I had the MacNeice poem on a cassette of poets reading their works. "Fern Hill" read by Dylan Thomas is also impressive.

Good morning, Meg.
I love this graphic; it is perfect for May 1st. Thank you.
Wishing you a Thankful First day of May Thursday.
We had cool weather earlier but it is getting near record breaking temps again. A 96 expected today and 95 for tomorrow. Too darn hot.

That’s 20 degrees of separation!
It would seem that I am more degrees away than Kevin Bacon is!
LOL

Tree Of Rest
May 2, 2014
Read: Ezra 9:5-9
The lone tree in the field across from my office remained a mystery. Acres of trees had been cut down so the farmer could grow corn. But one tree remained standing, its branches reaching up and spreading out. The mystery was solved when I learned the tree was spared for a purpose. Farmers long ago traditionally left one tree standing so that they and their animals would have a cool place to rest when the hot summer sun was beating down.
At times we find that we alone have survived something, and we dont know why. Soldiers coming home from combat and patients whove survived a life-threatening illness struggle to know why they survived when others did not.
The Old Testament speaks of a remnant of Israelites whom God spared when the nation was sent into exile. The remnant preserved Gods law and later rebuilt the temple (Ezra 9:9). The apostle Paul referred to himself as part of the remnant of God (Rom. 11:1,5). He was spared to become Gods messenger to Gentiles (v.13).
If we stand where others have fallen, its to raise our hands to heaven in praise and to spread our arms as shade for the weary. The Lord enables us to be a tree of rest for others.
Thank You, Father, that You are my place of rest.
And that all You have brought me through
can be used by You to encourage others.
Bring praise to Yourself through me.
Hope can be ignited by a spark of encouragement.
In the midst of the joy of Gods grace in allowing a remnant to return to their homeland, Ezra mourned. He mourned because the people of Israel were not only physically distant from God, but spiritually distant as well. Yet God in His grace did more than enable the physical return of the remnant; He also preserved a spiritual remnant. Upon hearing the law of God, the people recommitted themselves to Him (Ezra 10:1-4).

Thank you, Meg.
I went thru the archives to find graphics that had not been used for awhile.
That one was last used 3 years ago.
Lori and Billie made some really special graphics.
Have a lovely Friday and a Blessed Weekend.
