p-s-s-s-t...here is a glimpse of 'him' and all before noon... on a Monday!!!
Mind you there were some messier, not photo-ed shots as well, like
'let's shake my sippy cup til its empty while Grandma's on the phone trying to solve some of the world's problems, then let's splash!
and, let's see how many marbles fit in my mouth
(also while Grandma was on the phone, round two, dealing with round one 'reason'😐)
(yes, grandma should know better than giving a toddler marbles but we had great fun with them til I turned my back and he climbed up to where Grandma had set the jar, she thought, safely,
so a think-twice lesson for her/me!)
Still, I'm shamelessly in love with a 'guy' that does not let me down easy,
does not save me from my choices
but grants lots of second-dances and new-day romances,
mostly with messes without roses
so, you might be thinking this poem is going to be about my grandson, but it's not really...
he, along with everyone/everything else I love is part of this poem!
Oh, you win me over somewhat like a lover
Woos his beloved, the belle of his dreams
For I am a maiden easily betaken
With the love-language of meadows and streams
Oh, write me a river that winds ‘neath the shiver
Of poplar-quiver, silver in the sun
Play me an evening of long shadows leaning
Against the hill where the wild geldings run
Strum me a serenade better than Mozart played
Simple seduction of wind-tousled trees
Darling, I am betrothed to your melody clothed
In common threads of almost-memories
Oh, you win be over with pom-poms of clover
Tassels of goldenrod, star-veneered snow
Let’s take the long way home through the lines of a poem
Let’s linger longer and not hurry so
Oh, there is no Mundane Monday with you, honey
Money can't purchase what you and I have
You will be faithful and I will be grateful
You will be truthful and I will (try to) be brave
Amiable Romeo, my, but I love you, oh
Your touch tells me more than ‘much words’ can say
The Word of God is filled with loving and earnest caution
for us to be alert
kinda like 'whether warnings'; whether we are paying attention to what matters most!
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Matt 26:41
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
Matt.24:42
So be on your guard! Remember that for three years
I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.
Acts 20:31
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8
We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
Heb.2:1
My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.
Prov.3:21
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to
escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the
Son of man.
Last night Jim said (while we were watching the All-star Game being played in San Jose,
while adding logs to the fire to ward of the deep chill from the north)
that he wishes we could move to San Jose and leave this bitter cold behind for good.
I replied if he moves that would be very sad indeed because
I am so glad to live in a climate that grants four true seasons,
so he would be moving all by himself.😀
(no more just chillin' side-by side like two old love-birds)
