![]() This last day of the year I had to drive to town Riding along the road I saw the sun go down I had my camera with me and pictures I did take I'll show you what I saw and it was not a fake ![]() Shining through the wood the sun was not so bright All the trees together made it some special light This is a little bush, rare orchids grow up here The camping had to go to rescue plants so dear ![]() Just behind the trees she made me feel so rich By shining all her orange in this waterditch I stood there for a while quiet enjoying the sun I knew the store was nearly closed so I had to run ![]() Then I turned around and saw a different light Opposite of the sun but still a pretty sight The land is laying in rest waiting for the cold And all the trees are leaveless looking very bold ![]() And then a little further the sun was saying goodbye To the last day of this year and I could only sigh This was the best farewell to a very hectic year It was as if she knew we'd shed so many a tear For me the New Year has begun I have a wish for thee I'll say to you my dearest friends: LET's WRITE POETRY A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Beautiful words and photos, Titia. I agree, let's write lots in the New Year. I for one, am happy to see the sun go down on 2001. I keep hoping though, that this one will be better. Happy 2002 Sandra |

Wow, what beauty Titia. This is indeed a perfect sight to end one year and greet a new one. May the very best of peace and happiness come to you in the new year. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
