OLD AGE AND MEMORIES

When shades of night begin to fall,
And shadows lengthen on the wall,
My thoughts roll back to days of yore;
Like waves that gently lap the shore.

The youth I lost, so long ago.
Just where it went, I do not know.
Too soon, a young man took his place.
Then, age replaced that smiling face.

The child I raised, from very birth,
Has gone to find his place on earth.
He, too, will find that time flies by.
T'is but a twinkle of God's eye.

I live my memories, o'er and o'er,
And wonder if I could have done more.
Not one of those days were perfect spent.
And yet, the next was duly sent.

I tried and tried, with all my might,
But never did get one just right.
I've lived for many thousand days;
A testament to God's patient ways.

And now, my memories, good and bad,
Remind me of the chance I had
To live my life the way I should;
To shun the bad, embrace the good.

And yet, I trod the time worn road.
I walked alone, with heavy load;
Too proud to think that God would care,
My many burdens to gladly share.

And then, one day, I was wholly spent.
So, down from heaven, His Son He sent.
Not only did He lift my earthly load,
But put me back on the narrow road.

So now, my mind is full at ease,
No longer tossed like heavy seas.
Whatever life, now, has in store,
I have a haven on yonder shore.

It's not a prize that I have won,
But the gift, from God, of His precious Son.

Yes, I did get your ping last night about Beep and I appreciated it so much. I had seen mention of it in passing on another thread and was looking all over for information and then walla, you pinged me...It's just that I always feel better when a friend or loved one is actually out of the hospital and at home...

DUST IF YOU MUST

But wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed.
Ponder the difference between want and need.

Dust if you must.

But there is not much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb!
Music to hear, and books to read,
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must.

But the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes,
the wind in your hair,
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day will not come round again.

Dust if you must.

But bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember, a house becomes a home
when you can write, "I love You"
on the furniture.

Packing, packing, packing, aren't you?

Afternoon, Taxman......isn't this fun?!

[daisyscarlett]

MB and LX; Y'all are making me feel guilty....this was supposed to be my day to do housework...guess I will cut out for a while and try to accomplish something, after lunch and a siesta, of course...BBL

It was the end of the day when a cop parked his police van in front of the station. As he gathered his equipment, his K-9 partner was barking and he saw a little boy staring in at him.

"Is that a dog you got back there?" he asked.

"It sure is," he replied.

Puzzled, the boy looked at him and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, "What'd he do?"

[Aquamarine]

Nice post who, well done. That's a great lookin fireplace, it made me yearn for a nice toasty fire...even though it's in the 90's here right now. :)

Good day, Mr. SAINT

Things are good. The sky is blue, the clouds are fluffy white, the water is plentiful, the critters are having their afternoon 'quiet times', so------------

WE CAN PLAY....

[Billie]

Hi, SheLion, welcome! We're here every day, and every day we try to introduce a different FReeper or FReepers - we have lots of fun, so if you'd like to be on our ping list (Mama_Bear, daisyscarlett and I are doing these profiles, and we try to ping all those that are interested!), let us know! Thanks for coming today and hope to see you again!

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Clara/Pippin. I stopped in for just a minute this morning, and then needed to finish the profile for tomorrow, so am just now getting up to date on the thread! Hope that Beep is continuing to improve; I'm sure you'll keep us informed? Thanks! :)

[Billie]

Nice to see you back again today! Hope you make us a habit! :)

[Billie]

Hey, low! Love seeing 'yesterday's' stars come back to salute today's! LOL!

[Billie]

Hi, dutchess! Thanks again for all your contributions to yesterday's thread - couldn't have done it without you, girl!
