 "Precious Moments"
 
 Precious hugs and kisses
 from my dainty little princess
 melts all my stress away.
 
 Precious smiles and giggles
 as I tickle she wiggles
 cherished little times of play.
 
 Precious love and affection
 a trusting heart for protection
 is my duty for all of my days.
 
 Precious moments and every
 single little memory
 will remain in my heart for always.

		| | Wow! Ken, I think it is totally perfect. Everything flows together very well, I even like the frame and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing it, this is what it's all about. I know your Grandpa will love it. (I would hang it on my wall) Thanks Jeff |

 "The Willow, The Ladder and The Corn"
 
 The willow, the ladder and the corn
 are waiting nearby a country farm,
 to fulfill the destiny of a painter, born
 to paint the beauty of this scenic charm.
 
 The ladder only leans against a willow,
 it has no place to go and nothing to do.
 The corn is only seasonal but will grow
 another year after the snow and cold is through.
 
 The willows stand there with a grand attention
 as if they defend the corn and the ladder.
 The green and white ground has compassion
 as if to say this place of beauty matters.
 
 The weeds and the snow try to reassure
 the three friends that all hope is not torn
 but soon this hidden scene will ever endure
 once the painter, paints the willow, the ladder and the corn.
 
 Jeff

 "Fight the Cold"
 
 Cold and worn
 with hands of leather
 he fights for warmth
 against the weather.
 A look of fear
 overcomes his face
 no shining joy
 of a child's grace
 only a hopeless stare
 through innocent eyes
 have swelled the care
 of his hungry cries
 He wonders when
 or what he'll eat
 he walks alone
 on shoeless feet
 these feet a troubled
 path have trod.
 He quietly asks
 am I a child of God?
 So who will tend
 this little lamb?
 Who will love
 and comfort him?
 Or is he left
 to fend for his own
 and find a small fire
 to fight the cold.
 
 Jeff

 You're a little early--I'm not going for another 12 hours. ;-)  I'm flying to the Chicago area tomorrow for Christmas to visit my parents,  brother, and my brother's family.  I'll see y'all when I get back on the 1st (will have spotty internet access there at best).
 
 Nordlys, hoping the plane doesn't go "bumpity bump bump" too much!

		| | Is there a pic for this poem? I am still working on this one lol
 
 Teddy bear has
 his cap on his head
 sleepy eyes saying
 its time for bed
 pillows all patted
 books have been read
 kisses all given
 prayers must be said.

		| | Jeff - the one about the ladder, corn and willow is just stunning. I almost felt inspired to write one and then read yours.  Truly a beautiful piece of written art! 
 BRAVO

 the time of mist-
 morning tide
 lost in reality
 dreams have died
 
 heading out to no man's land
 living on water
 no place to stand
 
 as I go through motions
 with each day the same
 i'm backwards, forwards
 stuck , framed
 
 all in a day's work
 beginning to end
 nothing goes differently
 no change 'round the bend
 
 so, mist that covers
 pray shroud my soul
 with hope and shelter
 from this life's hell hole
