Awesome, John!!  Pauline is indeed gifted in the poetry department and I have been to congratulate her on the award that Sara so deservingly bestowed on her.

Awesome photo you have there and Sara, the moving picture is phenominal!!  So clever!!

I too apologize for being away from this forum for so long.  The holidays are always something I look forward to and puff - they are gone and all the things I thought I would have time for just don't get done.  Like Peter, I am still playing catch up!! 

Happy New Year - I will be back!!!

Blessings,

Judy

Then and Now  [title credit John Sanchez]

A flower blooms

Only after one has died,

For its seed to fall

And in the earth to hide.

Only to rise,

With the tender care

Of the warmth of the sun

And the fresh morning air.

To bloom one day

Bright in radiance and splendor

Bringing beauty to its surroundings

Speaking wonders of its Creator!
