I love it! It is the bridge, which I have not crossed in years! I miss California (native) and live in Utah (no ocean, ha, ha). I have tried color pencils but have not had much satisfaction. I like how you have blended the sunset colors; very nice.

Art work is truly a way to take us from our worries or everyday challenges! I can get lost in my watercolors (still trying to improve myself). At some point, I will try to share something, if I can remember how to post it. I do believe I have a few things on my portal, mix in with my poetry: a rose, a watercolor of a window/villa entry. Hope you can look at those.

Thanks for sharing....love to see more.

SilverMoon, that story took my breath away. It is so well written and I love reading those, so thanks for sharing and pointing it out to me.

I had a similar situation happen, but involving a long time family friend, she was like an aunt to us kids. I didn't get to see her as much as I liked due to the distance. I was going to drive to see her (several hours away) but it happened that my husband and I were running short on monies and my husband said not to go because I needed a new tire. So, I had to call her back and cancel. She died several weeks later. It really hit me.

When it comes to love ones, we should never put off anything that is important and they are important.

I can share in that pain. You probably did make her smile with the box!

Thanks again for sharing.

I find this facsinating; this amazing journal. I gave journaling a try once but I never felt compelled to continue with it. As I look back over my 75 years, I see that was a mistake. I am sure now I would have been a better writer expressing my life thoughts, especially sharing them with my Lord. It is a good habit but I was never taught that aspect of life.

So, I believe it is more fun to read other's life experiences and ponder on them. Your writing is excellent. Truly enjoyed my visit here.

Not sure if I responded on this one, sorry if I did. I believe it is the silly things in life that help keep us sane in an unsure world.

My mother too had a Bible but never read it to me. It also had births recorded in it. Dad was shameful as he teased her about it. Obviously he was not a believer. But, I read, study and believe so maybe it had some influence on us just being there.

Blessing to you for sharing your heritage.

Well, thanks for sharing a bit of the Irish. I do have Irish in me, my maiden name is Smiley. I have been able to trace my dad's family history back three greats, but it stops there. Dad loved Irish Eyes Are Smiling, played the harmonic and jues harp.

It is always fun to wonder, what my great, great, fathers were like...it brings a smile to my green Irish eyes!

Yes, the circle of life. We can only pray more people see it, understand it. I so believe your love for poetry has given you a better appreciation for "mankind". I also have those feelings of past grandmothers, especially on my mother's side. My grandmother was very interested in my schooling, came to my eighth grade graduation and bought my dress and shoes cause dad could not afford them. Such an appreciation for her was in me and remains to this day.

I only wish my grand children would want to take interest in family history, but there is such a reluction to it. The fast pace of Internet, phone has damped such interest.

They are apart of your soul, at least they have moved in over time and yes, I believe they mold us!

I remember when I first read Trees by Kilmer..beautiful words. But, when I first got to see the giant Sequois in Northern California, did I appreciate the poem. My experience of seeing those trees in person made me tear up.

Once again, a fabulous share.

Omg....since we recently got a puppy, this poem grabbed me hard. I do believe it was a well written poem and probably came with a lot of truth to it; so sad!

Your writings Ruth game me an idea for sharing family doings, history of my family. We had music, songs, no poetry but never the less rememberances after all.

You had a wide selection of theme that you were exposed to. Wonderful variety for learning topics, new words, how much fun. I cannot remember my folks reading to me, however, I have fond memories of mom taking me to the library.

Great share, thanks

Oh how you had me laughing with this one. Such a fun poem to read. I only wish I had such memories.

Never did I have a parent with the on-site to share, not only culture, but to teach the importance of the whole experience of poetry..the read is so important to gaining full appreciation of the poem.

And, now for you to document the experience ...wonderful. I suggest you print this book out for your kids, grand children in case the Internet changes..we never know.

Another wonderful read. Thanks.

I love this poem and because of your writings I probably would have never seen it. Never heard of the author. So many books, so little time.

The thing about older poems, they seem to have a message that can benefit us all. This truly is one of those. We all need to self analyze ourselves and to be sure we are where our Father in heaven wants us to be. Thanks again for this post. Very inspiring.

What a beautiful remembrances to have of your mother and a lifetime sharing experience with her. Not many of us can say such a thing. This to me more important than money. Money goes, nothing much to show for it, but the books will bring back memories over and over.

I like how you gave us history and then incorporated the poem. Well written, thanks Ruth.

Yes, this is lovely and makes me want to pull in spring fast! Clever how you have created your rhymes and I loved the phrase "...kicks us in the booty". Your words were well selected as I read it I can almost visualize this place of happiness and joy!

Beautifully written. Always we must give thanks to our Father in heaven. I too am thankful for my home, food, warmth, car, weather, water, on and on and on. At 75 years old, I reflect more and more each day for just the fact I was born in the good old USA. I love to hear from people from other places and it is nice to hear how others are as thankful for all that they have.

Blessings,

Love this! I decided to read it because of the title. Also, I have a new pup, he goes outside, finds a stick to carry but he must leave it when we go back inside. It is a small piece of happiness. Your words well chosen, well blended, amazing tone to the ear. Excellent writing.

Nicely done; I could relate to the feeling presented - been down a similar road. I like the tone that comes off in the poem by using the line "wondering if anyone would come near". I also like the use of a one word title, "You". It is sad but then a happy ending.

This has a lot going for it. I like it rhyme. It is a little to negative, especially for such a young person writing it. Iam glad you said a doll, I won't be as concerned. Because you have talent, and you are just fine as you have been created. More writing please. Best wishes to you.

Omg, I really like this story even though I was afraid he would not wake up. Your detail to describing the lighthouse, Hugo and Hugh's thought were such that it took me there....great writing.
