Hope springs eternal
In hearts of the faithful fold,
Pray on bended knee.
Show thanks for all your blessings,
Lend a hand to those in need.

When the world trembles, the knees bend.  Well said, Linda, and well needed...Ken

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

If I'd thought of "When the world trembles, the knees bend" independently, I might have posted it, but your write inspired it..and so it is yours.  Smile.  ken

Sunshine ~

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine,
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away...

My grandfather used to sing this to me all the time when I was growing up and those warm memories often surface when I see your name...  

Thank your for your thoughtful reply! --and please don't take your sunshine away from these skies of blue...

Warm hugs,
Linda
