Christmas is Calling

Christmas is Calling
The snow is softly falling
Carolers are following
Christmas is calling

Rejoice, Rejoice
the angels are singing
Christmas is calling
snowflakes are falling

Kindness abounds
while bells chime a joyous sound
Christmas is calling
snow is falling

Happy Holidays

Christmas of Yesterday

Christmas of yesterday

Where my memories like to play

Days of old with hats that were tipped

Strong family values and stiff upper lips

Moms were home; fathers at work

Aunts, cousins and sisters were always alert

Achievements were measured by family

Discussed during dinner at home together

Love was always given freely; no strings whatsoever

When responsibility, respect and religion

were a way of life; God's true vision

And pride in our nation was expected and easily given

It is He who takes away our worry and forgives every crime

Grants many long years which melt into a lifetime

His love was taught in the home and instilled in the heart

To be proud, to stand strong and to make your mark

Intertwined like a fabric woven from the past

Much of which warms my heart and is meant to last

Memories of days gone by; days gone too fast

I revisit once again Christmas of yesterday

Where my memories like to play

seeking the past

Home and Hearth

Thankful

Being grateful is a state

of appreciation, thankfulness for

the things you have, the health your granted,

Family love which has been tenderly planted

It grows from a seed, a constant need

Thank you, your welcome and pretty please

Town and Country

Just a view of one of my favorite night scenes of downtown Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

And a few from the country...

A long rich history and so many tales of old

This land of beauty with numerous secrets to unfold

Kentucky, its foggy hills surrendering to coal black dales

Brings a peacefulness to the soul when all else fails
