Something of Substance

I’ve looked long at my fingers
how they touch the air
dispel the dust in light of stair
I’ve seen them catch my fall to ground
and pick up leaves and things around

The mirror is a play along
a friend that makes no sound at all
nor grumbles when I take her toys
I watch with much interest and see
the way it does things just like me

The yard is fabric light and dark
and warm or cool the grass like park
depending on which way I turn
in dip of driveway’s down I see
another laying down piece of me

Beautifully layed down imagery, Martie.
A precious photo, a forever keeper.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Martie, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I cried reading this because it is sooooooo beautiful and Samantha looks so innocent and precious in this picture as I know she will find all her heart desires! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Samantha, a part of who you, dear one.  She's such a lovely child and I can't believe how much she's grown.  She has a very, very sweet grandma, my friend.   *hugs*

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Martie~ You write these words so smooth and soft, like a cloud hugging a mountain or a stream trickling through a meadow of flowers.
I guess you know I really enjoyed this...Paul

Hello Martie.  I just want to say Merry Christmas.  And this is one of the funniest picture I've seen in a long time.
