Sometimes I feel so lost without "a wise old man". (I am feeling so sad today)

I imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.


I'd put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when wanted,
as only I would know the code.


I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.

You see I'm building my own  library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before "you" dad, had to part.

I can open it up whenever I like,

pick a moment and watch it through,

My library acts as a promise,

That I willl never ever forget you.

I miss you dad...."Sophia"

Post note: These photo's were taken a few years back with just a Powershot Camera well before I had any knowlege of photography....I am still learning.
















            

My own sands of time

Was walking down memory lane,
Remembering once walking on a beach,
Surpressing my feelings of pain,
Keeping doubts out of reach.

Had a look at the sands of time
The hours when time itself stood still,
Could hear distant bells chime,
And I was walking while I still stood still.

Felt the heat of the sun beating,
Could sense an awe that the past left,
Saw the sheath of life fleeting,
Glimpses of what was there were best

My kids and a little info on goats

Living where I do I have the chance to have my "critters". We had three goats at one time, two males and one female. Lilly was my favorite. God I loved that girl! She had the best of personality and would allow me to push her around and she would push me right back but never trying to hurt me. She had some really sharp horns! Lyle and Luther, our two males were pretty smelly! Lilly and Lyle passed away and Luther is making new "kids" somewhere out there. Male goats have a nasty habit of ...well...lets say they just stink REAL bad when they wanna "get lucky" and a female is around. Trust me....enough said on that subject! These two new "kids" are fainting goats. Brown and tan one is "Roxanne", Rox for short...the other is "Lavern", Vern for short. When scared they pass out for 10 seconds then get right back up again because of a neurological defect. Doesn't harm them in any way though. Funniest thing too watch as they just drop where they are standing! I have always loved goats...these two girls are no exception.

P.S. Still working on sizing photo's...sometimes I get it right...and then there are these! Sorry, still learning Photoshop!
