Tend your Hearts ~~~ T'was gentle calm around us then a feeling in the air A soothing breeze disturbed the cold its' breath replaced despair The stars had faded much too soon mid - night we wondered why Then a brighter glow than a million stars lit up the eastern sky Our path seen clear . . . in all our years we never felt this way We left our flocks beneath its' light to tend our hearts that day ~ Three men we saw in finest garb with gifts to bless a king Bestowed upon a man and wife in a stable for lesser things We could not hear just what they said we thought our place forlorn They called to us and said "come forth" "This night a child is born" ~~~ [This message has been edited by Rex Allen McCoy (edited 11-07-2000).] |

That was really lovely. I like the way you did it, from the point of view of the shepherds. Good work, Rex! Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

Rex...as always your words move me. This was an earthquake. It is so beautiful. Thank you for putting all things in perspective. Shawna How can you save me? When the dark comes right in and takes me, from my front walk and into bed, where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree |

This was great. I loved it!  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Thankyou Tracie and Denise ... I'm afraid this may be one of the saddest Christmas' Seasons I've ever had. My mom is hospitalized with cancer ( bone lung and liver ) and my dad has another aneurism ( the last took two years to heal after surgery ). They will be in different hospitals ... we don't really know yet what we are in for over the Christmas season, but we will do our best for the kids. I have not felt much like writing lately, but perhaps I will again sometime in the new year. Seasons' Best from the McCoys, to all at Passions. |

I'm running this to the top once more with a note of thanks to all at Passions, for your love and kindness ... we thankyou for your prayers and support through our time of need. My father seems to be on the mend and will be able to join us at Christmas ... to this I thank the Lord. My Poems to my mom were read today at graveside, as we laid her to rest. She is at peace now and we will be able to face the season knowing that she is in the presence of Christ. Merry Christmas to all and God's Blessings be upon us all in the new year. the McCoys |

Rex, your mother is at rest, and your father will be at peace in the comfort of your home. You shall remain in my prayers...Karilea Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
