*smile*

Does it look familiar? :)

[tuliptree76]

Yes, it does. ;-)

[tuliptree76]

I'm going to get some sleep. Good night, Amy.

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Dutchess; Dansangel; , and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

Nite, Tulip. Sweet dreams.

Hope you stop by tomorrow for some strawberry cream pie.

[NicknamedBob]

Say, Amy, don't you have any fresh material?

Here In God’s Garden

I’m here in God’s garden. I have my own place,
The good feelings it gives me, please! Never erase!
Not part of the flowers, nor am I a weed,
I’m less than a raindrop, but more than a seed.

I’m doing a job here, I know it is true,
I hold my position, as I’ve learned how to do.
I stand near to this wall, holding dirt at the base,
Prepared for the morning, and warmth that I face.

A rock in God’s garden, neither beauty nor waste,
But witness to miracles, I am blessed to be placed.
Over here near the wall, there’s a rise to the land,
I can see a good distance, and I like what He’s planned.

I’ve seen plantings and harvests, and beauty and tears,
I’d be happy to stay here for many more years,
But I go where I’m sent, and I do what I must,
I can skip over oceans, for in God do I trust.

Hi, Amy! Love the thread! As usual, I am late, but I had to tell you how great it was and most importantly, how much me and Babychick miss you and PrissyMissy! Give her smooches for us!

[MEG33]

It's lovely...Thank you, Just Amy.

[MEG33]

Love your poems!

[NicknamedBob]

Thanks!

It's fair enough. I love writing them.

[JustAmy]

LOL ....

Nope; looks like I need to put you to work again.

Hey ..... I did add one of my great-aunts. :)

[JustAmy]

(((( Scubachick ))))
(((( Babychick ))))

So good to see you; we miss you and Babychick.

Marissa was sooo excited when she received the card in the mail .... addressed to her. So far she is loving school. She does not like doing what the dance instructor teaches ... afterall she thinks she already knows how to dance.

Marissa and I went to Walmart this evening. She saw something in the baby dept and told me we needed to get that for Babychick.

When are you going to get back to California? We would love to see you again soon.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Meg. Thank you.

So nice to see you this evening.

I hope things are starting to settle down for you.

[NicknamedBob]

Yes, I saw your Great-Aunt's poem. Very nice. Poignant.

Louis L'Amour immortalized the poetic spirit of the pioneer woman, in one of his later books. A paean to the stirrings of the heart in the lonely prairie.

Time was, every educated person aspired to be able to express thoughts and feelings in a memorable manner. It seems these days, we have all the modern tools we need to create messages devoid of content.

At least here on Free Republic there exists an island of heartfelt expressiveness! Rock on!

You had probably seen my aunt's poems at Amy's.

I have several of her poems typed but there are still many that I need to get typed so I can share them.
