♥The Mountains in Me♥

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
Psalms 72:3
{Gallery}



The Mountains
In my soul
Keep me joyous....When hard times come

The Mountains
In my mind
Help me breath.....When air is gone

The Mountains
In my song
Sounding sweetly....To my ear

The Mountains
In my life
Keep me strong....When there is fear

The Mountains
In my path
Call to me....And let me know

That Beauty,
Peace, and Harmony
Forever......In Mountains flow.

♥Aspens, Pines, and You♥

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but
if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
I John 4:11-12
{August's Heart 2013}

Cool air.
 
So cool it makes
Goose bumps appear
On my body. 
 
 
So cool.

 
It invigorates every
Part of my being.
 

I held your hand
As I walked
Along the morning
Mountain path
Of summer. 
 
 
We stopped and listened
To the sound of the wind
Blowing through the Aspen
And Pine trees.
 

It was a special time
To be held in my heart
Forever. 
 

Peace, Intimacy
Joy and Love
Were dancing
Among us.
 

You are my special friend
Bathed in prayer
Cherished with a love
Like no other ever known to me. 
 

A love that is bewildering
A love that encourages
A love that creates abundant love 
 

Precious love 
 

Lavishly given
Graciously received
Joyously replanted
So others can grow. 
 

Something MORE
Than an Experience…

Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
I Peter 1:2
{Customer Post}
Tulip Greetings To You

Sunshine and tulips
At dawns early light
I want to say “Thank You”
I hope your day’s bright.

These flowers I’m sending
To bring you a smile
I hope they give joy
To last for a while

If ever you need me
You know I’ll be found
A pleasure to meet you
Yes, I’ll be around.

A field of fresh tulips
For you as a gift
To make your day special
And give you a lift.

♥Best I Can Do♥

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Psalms 9:9  
{Customer Post}

I feel your pain
Your needs unending
I'll try to help you out
By sending

One prayer Two prayers
More than a few
But you must help
Yourself out too

Find the strength
Deep in your heart
Life is life
And times get hard

If you find
Your strength is empty
Look to the Lord
He'll give you plenty

We're on the earth
Not very long
And you can rise
Above it all

Until your strength
Empowers you
May God watch over
All you do

And I'll be here
Best I can do
A prayer, a hug
To see you through.

♥See You Soon♥

Greet one another with a holy kiss.
II Corinthians 13:12
{Customer Post}
See You Soon

The door’s always open
To welcome you back
Don’t feel like a stranger
Whenever you lack

A handshake, a smile
A story or two
We can’t wait to see you
When you’re gone, we’re blue

With appreciation
And much gratitude
We want to say “Thank You”
With hope, SEE YOU SOON.

Flowers for You

A bouquet of flowers
I’m sending to you
Red, pink, and purple

To brighten your day
And also a blessing
To help guide your way.

A lift or good cheer
Please look at these flowers
And know I am near.

♥Blooms of Love♥

Flowers appear on the earth, the season of singing has come...
Song of Songs 2:12
{Gallery Post}
 
 
Flowers glow beneath a light
Brilliant colors
Fill my sight

Thoughts of you begin to grow
And their petals
Fill my soul

You are a rose, a tulip too
A multicolored
Flowered hue

All you are, my heart does hold
Like these flowers
Love exposed

The pureness of a bright bouquet
Loves golden colors
Never fade

From me to you and you to me
Blooms of love
Eternally.

Daddy, I love you
When you hold me tight

When you make me laugh
And kiss me good night.

I watch you each day
As you use your hands

I want to be like you
When I am a man.

When I have a son
And a father I’ll be

I’ll love him with your love
That you gave to me.

Love,
Your Son

♥Johnson Branch♥

"Test everything. Hold on to the good."
I Thess. 5:21

{Gallery}


Life is simple on Johnson Branch
All is good not a care in sight
Pull up a chair and sit right down
Take it easy everything’s all right

Playin music till the sun don’t shine
Three part harmony sure sounds fine
Offbeat rhythm from the clappin hands
Feet are tappin everything is grand.

LIFE IS SIMPLE ON JOHNSON BRANCH

Life is simple on Johnson Branch
Everybody there knows your name
Complications won’t hold you down
Worried trouble will fade away

Broke a string on my old guitar
Keep on playing when my hand is tired
Folks will know the next song I bet
Too much fun to end the night just yet

LIFE IS SIMPLE ON JOHNSON BRANCH

Life is simple on Johnson Branch
Only singers and pickers remain
Moon is shinin everyone’s gone home
One more song and then we play again

Hoot owl howling in the trees above
Frogs are croakin in the nearby pond
Bugs are bitin but we don’t care
Old time songs fill the cool night air

LIFE IS SIMPLE ON JOHNSON BRANCH

I will sit with you
As our children play

I will stand with you
Through the coming days

I will work with you
Till our job is done

Every morning light
Every setting sun

I will lay with you
As we two become one

I would die for you
Because it is you that I love.

♥When Times Were Hard♥

I have told you these things, so in me you may have peace, in this world
you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
{March's  Heart 2013}
Postcard

“Times are hard when you ain't got money”
 Grandma and Grandpa told me so
 They went to town only 12 times a year
Put their faith in what the garden would grow
 Grandpa made an extra dollar
Selling moonshine from his still

 That's the way it was
When times were hard

 Sun came up early in the morning
 Everyone rise and shine
 All the kids in the field working hard
 No such thing as 9 to 5
 Grandma bless her soul she worked so hard
 Making sure her family's fed

That's the way it was
 When times were hard

Found out many years later
A story my daddy's brother used to say
 Sunday church and an outhouse in the back
Grandma lost her religion that day
 She found Grandpa with another woman
Pitchin’ woo while the preacher prayed

 That's the way it was
 When times were hard

Husband and wife back in the 40's
 Youngest baby only 2
Grandma never left my Grandpa's side
There wasn't much that she could do
 You better believe she had to set him straight
 She never caught him out again

That's the way it was
When times were hard!!!

Two raven beauties
An eagle in flight
The sun in the background
Going down for the night

A flag showing glory
A cowboy hat
The freedom of living

   Mother:
1949
I was five
Hollyhocks scared me

Daughter:

I was five
Sunflowers scared me

Mother:
1969
I was twenty five
Hollyhocks still scared me
Five year old daughters did not

Daughter:
1989
I was twenty five
Sunflowers still scared me
My five year old daughter did not

Five year old Daughter:
1989
I am five
My mom and grandmother
Scare me
Because they are scared of
Silly flowers.

♥Forever♥

He is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness
after rain that brings the grass from the earth.
II Samuel 23:4
{Gallery Post}
                                                The silent morning sunrise
Displays a symphony of colors
Composed by the hand of a Master 
 
Only designated souls
Are chosen
To view this melodious vision 
 
Forever.
Here in a moment
Forever.
Disappearing 
 
Breathless beauty to Behold… 
 
Forever.
