Waiting for Spring

Waiting for Spring 

I’m waiting for Spring and other nice things,

Are’t you?

I’m waiting for warmer weather,

I’m waiting for little things with feathers.

                                            Aren’t you?

I’m waiting for those pretty little spotted eggs,

For those little creatures with tiny stick legs,

Aren’t you?

~*~ Why Did Jesus Die? ~*~

                                Jesus’ Death

The Bible attaches great importance to the death of Jesus. Did his death have a purpose?

March Winds & Chocolate Pops

Chocolate & Teddybears

March Winds

The March wind roars
Like a lion in the sky,
And makes us shiver
As he passes by.

When winds are soft,
And the days are warm and clear,
Just like a gentle lamb,
Then spring is here.

A Winter Rose

                                    A Rose in Winter

your like a breeze entering

a heated room

your like the sun glowing

the corners of gloom

                               your my rose in every

                                  crystal snowflake

                       My heart is here for you to take.

                                   Author Unknown

                     

                                        A winter rose 

A winter rose

So fragile and fair

It’s grace and beauty

Beyond compare

Standing strong

Against the cold winter winds

Bending………

Never breaking

Never giving in.

You remind me so

Of that winter rose

Bending…….

Just a little as those cold winds blow

And like that rose

I shall cut you free

And keep you warm and safe with me

Keep you safe

Within my heart

Until those winter storm clouds part

Ice Skating

People love to go skating, across the ice;

It may be rather chilly, but it’s just so nice.

People wrapped up in coats, gloves and scarves,

Share each other’s company, and also some laughs.

                              ~*~

Fairy lights twinkle, up in the trees nearby.

Excited eyes sparkle, and spirits are high.

Across the rink, the skaters twist and twirl;

On the ice, their skates create ornate swirls.

                           ~*~

Novice skaters hang on, tightly, to the side;

Their nerves, with smiles, they try to hide.

A good sense of balance is vital, to stay upright;

Wibble-wobbling about, some people lose the fight.

                               ~*~

Some skaters execute some amazing moves;

That they are old pros, they can easily prove.

Some people hold hands, as they skate around;

Taking in all of the exciting sights and sounds.

                             ~*~

The skaters’ noses and cheeks glow, rosy pink,

As they make their way around the huge ice rink.

Some of the first time skaters, tumble and fall,

And they just can’t seem to get the hang of it all.

                             ~*~

It’s a festive experience, which is hard to beat,

And, for many, it’s an exciting winter time treat.

To go skating, at an outdoor rink, people wait all year;

It’s an activity, guaranteed to bring some festive cheer.

* Keep Them Safe And Warm *

My Cats by The Hearth

It’s cold outside, the wind is blowing

Freeze in the air, soon it will be snowing

Nothing can be better on this whole earth

Just watching my cats sleeping by the hearth

 

Many a cat would be filled with delight

To be in a warm cozy home for the night

But for them it’s just a dream far out of sight

Only abandonment is to be their plight

 

All I can offer is this plea to all of you

Can you adopt a cat, or maybe even two

If you have a cat, can you neuter or spayed

By doing this less cats have to be saved

 

I feel a shiver as I here the wind howl

Oh so many cats tonight out on the prowl

I am filled with thankfulness gaiety and mirth

As I gaze at my at my sleeping cats by the hearth
