Ah, Glorious Beginnings



if you're still looking for plants (or puppies?)
check out this stunning greenhouse and kennels!

A little promo to fulfill a promise to an old acquaintance 💖





Don't you love life's beginnings;
buds, babies/tots,
 spring and summer mornings?!!





...the blip before time's telling tales
of blooms, birthdays and betrothals 
bearing us breath by breath toward life's twilight?!!

ah, glorious beginnings
so lovely to behold
a bursting bud, a baby
a sunrise, blush and gold

ah, garden, freshly planted
harboring renewed hope
ah, young love, dream enchanted
before life replies 'nope'

ah, verdant June showcasing
green-gleaming countryside
ah, jubilant joy gracing
a beaming groom and bride

ah, glorious beginnings
before Time takes its toll
Before the crucial endings
that prove the heart and soul

Ah beauty, stooped and weathered
Duty and battle-taught
Ah, holy harvest gathered
(the planting long forgot)

Ah, glorious survival
No wishing can pretend
surpassing every rival
with 'faithful to the end'

Janet Martin

1 Cor.2:24-25
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run,
 but only one receives the prize? 
Run in such a way as to take the prize.
 25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. 
They do it for a crown that is perishable, 
but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.
