                                      NO APRIL FOOL              
                                     
                                       ​O Lord,
                                       Let us draw nigh unto thee
                                       That our direction may be clear
                                       That our hearts may be clean
                                       That we may bless all
                                       Whom we touch

                                       Help us to remember
                                       Thy promises made to us
                                       And the commitments
                                       We have made unto thee
                                       O Lord of our responsibility
                                       Set us free

                                       Let there grow
                                       Between us Lord
                                       A mutual trust and confidence
                                       That we may walk hand in hand
                                       And be found to be
                                       No April fool

AMONG THE DANDELIONS

3/25/2022

                                                   AMONG THE DANDELIONS 
                              

                              In an 1898 issue of "Harper's Weekly."
                            Williston Fish wrote "I leave to children
                               exclusively, but only for the life of their
                               childhood, all and ever, the dandelions
                               of the fields and the daisies thereof, with
                               the right to play among them freely."

                               With Mr. Fish, we too, would leave...
                               The beauty of the butterfly
                               The lowing of cattle
                               The coolness of a shade tree

                                            The feather of a baby owl
                               The morning glories and tulip trees
                               Honey suckle and acres of thistles
                               to be picked and blown at will
                            
                                We would go for as long as possible and
                                as far afield as possible among the daises
                                and the dandelions of the world and we
                                would see and be seen...as little children

MAXIMUS (16)

                          MAXIMUS (16)

                             It has been said many times
                             that all things finally end.
                             Perhaps that is true. I'm not
                             sure.
                 
                             But, with the passing of Maximus,
                             of about 16 years of living, there
                             possibly may not be another cat
                             crossing our path, in our home.
                           
                             Maximus was a male orange Tabby.
                             The twin of J.J. who died a couple
                             of years ago. He looked and seemed
                             rather ordinary. (Actually, there is
                             no such thing as an ordinary cat.
                             Each in its own personal way graced
                             our home with their silent walking and
                             mannerisms.)

                             
Maximus loved settling by my desk
                          desk computer, reading the screen,
                          
finally going to sleep. Like all the rest,
                          we miss your attentive company,

                          and gentle, sweet love. BM

                                         In today's war-torn society
                                         you are either:
                                         "a woke" or
​                                         awake. 
                                         
                                         "the Lord commanded you,
                                         when ye shall see these things
                                         come among you that you 
                                         shall awake to a sense of
                                         your awful situation, because
                                         of this secret combination
                                         which shall be among you."
