Icicle Time
Icicle time is reigning,
The temperatures hang low;
All nature now is sparkling
With newly-fallen snow.
The trees upon the hilltops
Are now all ermine-capped,
And all the little valleys
Hold snowflakes in their laps.
~
Icicles, brightly glistening,
Are hanging from the eaves;
Just as far as eye can scan
The earth is in deep freeze.
But just like a kaleidoscope,
There'll come a change of scene'
Winter days will fade away,
Revealing springtime's green.

LOVE MAKES
THE WORLD GO ROUND
"Love stretches your heart and
makes you big inside."
--Margaret Walker
The Wisdom of a Fortune Cookie
Pray for what you want,
but work for the things you need.
"To everything there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
Eccl. 3:1
There's something that I do, each day,
That no one hears or sees
For it is just a private thing -
Between my Lord and me:
I walk and pray - and play and pray -
A lot of silent prayers
That tell my Lord I trust in Him
To keep me in His care.
~
They're always short and simple prayers
That only He can hear,
For only He can hear and see
Inside my heart of fears;
And everyday, He blesses me
With Graces of His care
That are as true and full of love
As are my silent prayers.
~ ~ Michael Dubina ~ ~
I think this is appropriate for this time of year.
"The days are very long,
but the years are very short."
