I SEE THE MOON....

I SEE THE MOON AND THE MOON SEES ME♫♫

I JUST LOVE THE NIGHT SKY AND THIS WAS THE MOON LAST NIGHT AS THE SUN BEGAN TO SET.

I am obsessed with love for the fading sun and yet I cannot bear to see each day end!  But I look from my window and see the sky and must go outside and take more pictures of the fading light.

And because I see something in every cloud formation, I see a faint figure of Christ in this last picture in the formation of tiny puffy clouds. The shape of the crowned head is slightly to the right of center and on a tilt to the left. Perhaps only in my eyes-ha! Intriguing just the same and comforting....

On my craft site http://kerrieskrafts3.blogspot.com/ I have posted some acrylic painting on kitchen utensils, take a look!  Thanks for stopping by and come again soon!

The Fading Sun

I cast my eyes on fading sun

I watch as all of my day is done.

And offer up a little prayer

To God the Father who dwells up there.

I thank Him for the beautiful day

For picking me up if I fall by the way.

I thank Him too, for another day with you,

My love, my life in my heart's view,

Of everything that is good....

Where did our Youth go?

Where did our Youth Go?

Where did our Youth go
All that was of you and me?
When summers bronzed our skin
And bleached your hair
Where birds flew overhead
In a field of wildflowers
And two horses were tied near.

Where is that slender twosome
Too much in love to even eat
When kisses sweet kept us
Til we met again that week.

Remember kissing on the steps
Because I was so short
And how we hated to say good night
Whenever we used to court?

The evenings we spent at the lake
The moonlight on waves, the wood fire
And your brother racing by in the car
Acting like a detective for hire!

We made each other promises
And dreamed many dreams
And some of them have come true
But we continue to plan and dream.

Were we ever really that young, 20 and 18?
Was my waist ever so tiny
Were you really that lean?
Gosh, it was wonderful
Being in love with love and you
Hugging and holding each other
Our hearts pounding as they still do!

You were my only sweetheart
And I was your only girl.
It means a lot to us now
As the rest of our lives unfurl.

And I love each line in your face
And every gray strand of your hair
And in my heart you still remain
The boy of my youth so fair.
