Time ... Precious Time
~*Marge Tindal*~

Time …
take your time
as I meander through
the things I took for granted
before the storm-in-brew~

The home with roof
over weary, weary head
the gift of love found
in the share of bed~

The bless of GrandieGirl’s arms
wrapped ‘round ~Poet~ tight
as we prayed down the day
making room for the night~

Children grown
with homes of their own
Safe and sound …
as the storm wrapped ‘round~

Fair face of a flower
graced under a tree
that blossomed sheer beauty
for all to see~

Birds in tweet at rise-of-sun
the woods in full-feathered song
as moon kissed the day done~

Laughter in peals
‘cross neighborhood fences
the bright rainbow sheen
as the rain rinses
pixie dust off the meadow
making way
for a new tomorrow
to replace this day~

Time …
take your time
for I’ve much yet to pray-say
thanking Him for the blessings
I received yesterday~

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Ah, the beauty of gratitude and the depth of faith - these are carried in your words.

Now who is Ivan? Guess I've got to check out the news again. Silly ostrich keeps her head tucked in the ground and away from the news. If another comes, safe be your harbor dearest friend.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Dear Marge, you are a beautiful soul! To be grateful despite such terrible events and to be able to appreciate even more what you have, is so touching.
Beautiful words you have found in the core of your heart.
Love and hugs, also to the girls (from little Simon who is staying with us for a few days with Mommy and Daddy).
