This and That

Things I've read that touched me in one way or another...

I am the family face;

Flesh perishes, I live on,

Projecting trait and trace

Through time to times anon,

And leaping from place to place

Over oblivion.

~Thomas Hardy

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday, and day before that, too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part.

God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

~Unknown

Sabrina fair, listen when thou art sitting under the glassy, cool, translucent wave, in twisted braids of lilies knitting the loose train of they amber-dropping hair. ~John Mitton

Warm summer sun, shine kindly here.

Warm southern wind, blow softly here.

Green sod above, lie light, lie light.

Good night, dear Heart

Good night

Good night

Home is the place your grow up wanting to leave and grow old wanting to get back to. ~John Ed Pearce

Listen to the sunset

Hear its silent sigh

As it falls down the horizon

Warning, the moon is nigh

I have always known that at last I would take this road, but yesterday I did not know that it would be today. ~Unknown

It's funny that what used to be the end of the world is now the center of the universe. ~Bill Killie

The kiss of the sun for pardon

the song of the birds for mirth

One is nearer God's heart in a garden

than any place else on earth.
