My Staff My staff is made of humble wood A piece of tree where life once stood It aids me on my path of wear The things that I would do and dare It lights my fire, tends my sheep And is my strength when I’m asleep It keeps me steady when I walk And is my friend when strangers talk But even stone will wear in time Beneath the bear of age and grime And wood is no exception to The wear and tear that comes to you We all wear down into the ground Where every living form is found It is on which all change will dine Within the brew and aqua line So if you would the slow and quick Make sure you have a walking stick |

My staff is made of humble wood A piece of tree where life once stood It aids me on my path of wear The things that I would do and dare ================================ But even stone will wear in time Beneath the bear of age and grime ================================= We all wear down into the ground Where every living form is found It is on which all change will dine Within the brew and aqua line ================================= your rhymes are made from the same humility and humanity as your walking stick... your poetry keeps the pace and keeps us on the right path.   *ww*  :   |

We had a heck of a wind through our neck of the woods over the weekend, Sy...and believe it or not, I took one of those deadwood limbs and have planned to use it as my own walking stick... once again, m'friend, your timing is impeccable. But then, your dapperness is always appealing! |

Happy Spring morning, Mr. T.! Your staff serves you well! You walk with dignity and grace! Your step is strong and steady ~ and on the ready! Wood, I mean "would" you tell your little Earthy Angel, where I might find such a tree from which I could fashion a flying stick?  Loved your poem! Love you! EA |

SEA Enjoyed your reply, hugs. Earth Angel, OK but you have to be careful, there are those for Angels and those for witches. LOL |
