GIFTS FROM FRIENDS;

"I think you more of a friend today
than I did yesterday,
but not as much as I will tomorrow"
Thanks Andy.

Thank you Kathi

God gave us our memories so
that we might have roses in December.
(James M Barrie.)

SO WILL I
Grandfather remembers long ago
the white Queen Anne's lace
that grew wild.
He remembers the buttercups
and goldenrod from when he was
a child.

He remembers long ago
the white snow falling,falling
He remembers the bluebird and thrush
at twilight
Calling, Calling.

He remembers long ago
The new moon in the summer sky
He remembers the wind in the trees
and its long,rising sigh.
And so will I
So will I. (C. Zolotow.)

'grampa'
. a gift from Kathi.

The happiest people are
those who touch life at
the greatest number of points.

RAINBOWS END.
There are ribbons of white
and ribbons so blue
Bands of satin
In every hue.

But the ribbon that winds,
Toward the home of a friend
Is a ribbon of rainbows
With gold at the end.
