Adopt a Pet ~

I saved a life

of one small golden furred friend 

and been repaid 

a thousand times 

by loving eyes 

soft paws 

and warmth across 

my feet at night ~

I saved his life 

but as I stroke 

beneath his chin 

and hear the motor 

of his love 

beneath my hand 

all worries slip 

beneath his fur 

and disappear ~

-------------------------------------

Jake , you are so loved ~

Passing By ~

Everyone's a pal of mine today ~

You did not pass me by
as if I was a dried up leaf
blown past you on the desert wind
of no coming back again ~

You touched me 
lying there in my despair
and drew me up 
to your full height ~

The flood of your heart's caring
soaked into me as a summer rain
renews to greenness 
the desert sands again ~

Fragrance of flowers goes with me now ~
you filled me with your trust 
as water swells the dried sponge 
to fuller weight than it can hold 
and must spill over 
to an other one ~

So do I touch the others 
passing by ~

For all are dear to me 
I see you in every one of them ~

---------------------------------------------
I shall have had the colonoscopy over with, this time next week.
Thank you all for the prayers, I am hoping 'all shall be well' 

Love 
Margie 

Night and Shining Day ~

Night time holds us close together 

now at last ~

Star shine winds its fingers 

round us ~ holding hearts 

close and tender ~

Day breaks open eyed  ~

Sun laughs and wakes us up ~

We rise and walk out 

in the open day 

needing only to hold hands ~

Many thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers.
My colonoscopy is to take place two weeks from today.
I have been feeling the same (not good) but I 
have hope nothing too seriously is wrong .
Please continue to keep me in your prayers as 
I need all I can get .... thank you.

Guess!

Who is she who walks by day

in a fairy sort of way

as fleet and filmy as a cloud

but with golden grace and proud?

Who has eyes so softly blue

sheer lake waters shimmer through 

and her dimples - one, two, three 

angels patterned playfully?

Who has laughter, bubble-bursting

and for shining paths is thirsting 

who loves frogs and woodsy walks

and who talks and talks and TALKS?

Let me think! 

oh, I can guess -

You, my dearest, Rose Elizabeth 

are my loveliness!

An angel came into my life 

when my granddaughter was born
I am so very blessed to have her 

Rose turned two on Jan 26th ....

Health update ... my sister found out this week 
she does not have breast cancer, my heart is overjoyed!
I am still having pain and go for a colonoscopy on the 27th of this month.
I am sorry I have not been around to visit any of your blogs.
I just don't feel well enough to be online these days, for any length of time.
Hopefully soon, though. 
Miss all of you and think of you.
Love 
Margie
